What to do if heads are shattering or breaking off with MacDon D50?
If you're experiencing heads shattering or breaking off while using your MacDon Farm Equipment, there are several reasons this could be happening. The reel speed may be too fast, so reduce it. The reel might be too low, so raise it. The ground speed might be too fast, so reduce it. If the crop is too ripe, consider operating at night when humidity is higher.
What to do if cut grain is falling ahead of the cutterbar on MacDon Farm Equipment?
If you observe cut grain falling ahead of the cutterbar on your MacDon Farm Equipment, several factors could be responsible. The ground speed or reel speed might be too slow, or the reel might be too high or too far forward. The cutterbar could also be too high. Worn or broken sickle components can also cause this issue. Increase the ground speed and reel speed. Lower the reel and cutterbar. Move the reel back on the arms. Replace worn or broken sickle components. If cutting at speeds over 6 mph (10 km/h) with a high-torque (10 tooth) reel drive sprocket, replace it with a high-speed (19 tooth) reel drive sprocket.
How to fix MacDon Farm Equipment that does not pick up down crop?
If your MacDon Farm Equipment is not picking up down crop, the cutterbar may be too high, the header angle too flat, or the reel may be too high or too far back. The ground speed might be too fast for the reel speed, or the reel fingers may not be lifting the crop sufficiently. Lower the cutterbar and reel, steepen the header angle, move the reel forward, reduce the ground speed or increase the reel speed, and increase the finger pitch aggressiveness. You can also install lifter guards.
Why is the crop not being cut at the ends with my MacDon D50 Farm Equipment?
If the crop is not being cut at the ends by your MacDon Farm Equipment, the reel may not be ‘frowning’ or not centered in the header, so adjust the reel ‘frown’ or reel horizontal position. The sickle hold-downs may not be adjusted properly, so adjust them so the sickle works freely, but still keep sections from lifting off guards. Sickle sections or guards may be worn or broken, so replace all worn and broken cutting parts. The header may not be level, so level it. The reel fingers may not be lifting crop properly ahead of the sickle, so adjust the reel position and finger pitch. The divider may run down thick crop at ends, preventing proper feeding due to material bridging the cutter guards, so replace 3 or 4 end guards with stub guards.
Why is reel motion uneven under no load on my MacDon D50?
If the reel motion is uneven under no load on your MacDon Farm Equipment, it is likely due to excessive slack in the reel drive chain. Tighten the chain to resolve this issue.
What to do if plastic fingers are bent rearward at the tip on MacDon D50?

What to do if plastic fingers are bent forward at the tip on MacDon D50 Farm Equipment?
If plastic fingers are bent forward at the tip, raise the header, decrease header tilt, or move the reel aft.
Why does material accumulate inside or under the front edge of the draper on MacDon Farm Equipment?
If material is accumulating inside or under the front edge of the draper on your MacDon Farm Equipment, it's likely due to the deck height being improperly adjusted. Adjust the deck height to resolve this issue.
