Watch out for farm vehicles, OPP warn

Lambton OPP are warning drivers to slow down and be careful this fall as more farm vehicles are expected to be on the road in rural Lambton County.

Those farm vehicles can cause delays on rural roads but are essential for agriculture in rural Ontario. Other drivers are urged to be cautious, especially since some farm vehicles do not have turn signals and cannot slow down as easily as smaller vehicles.

Farm vehicles in Southwestern Ontario have been involved in a handful of collisions in recent years, many of them fatal. Often those collisions are not the fault of the farm vehicle driver. Speed limits along major rural thoroughfares are often posted at 80 km/h to 90 km/h whereas farm vehicles usually go less than half that speed, between 30 km/h to 40 km/h.

Case IH introduces the new MacDon FD2 Plus Draper Header—a next-generation platform engineered for productivity, precision, and performance across varying field conditions.

The FD2 Plus Series is available in multiple widths—30 ft, 35 ft, 40 ft, 45 ft, 50 ft, and 61 ft—ensuring a perfect match for every Case IH combine, says Ryan Lepp, harvest product marketing manager.

It's designed to handle today’s high-yielding crops, delivering a smoother feeding, cleaner cuts, and superior ground following.

Key features:
>> A 50-inch Draper belt increases crop flow into the feeder house for steady, efficient harvesting.
>> The flexible cutter bar, essential for soybeans and uneven terrain, hugs the ground to capture low pods and reduce grain loss.
>> The optimized reel positioning keeps the reel close to the cutter bar for cleaner feeding and reduced shatter.
>> The FD2 Plus header pairs seamlessly with Case IH AF9, AF10, AF11, and 260 Series combines.
