Frequently Asked Questions
Which MacDon grain heads fit these skid shoe kits?
The available kits fit MacDon FD70, D60 and D50 draper heads, along with MacDon 973 and 974 draper heads. Available widths depend on the model and, for 973 and 974 heads, whether the head is from 2005 and earlier or 2006 and later.
How do I select the correct MacDon skid shoe kit?
Match all three fitment details: model, year group when applicable, and head width. Do not select a 973 or 974 kit based on width alone because the older and newer heads use different skid shoe layouts.
What are the skid shoes made from?
May Wes Poly Skid Shoes for MacDon are made from 3/8-inch thick virgin UHMW-PE. All of our skid shoes are manufactured in our Hutchinson, Minnesota, facility.
Are cutterbar skid shoes and draper skid plates included?
No. Cutterbar skid shoes and draper skid plates are sold separately.
Can I purchase individual replacement skid shoes instead of a complete kit?
Yes. Individual skid shoes can be purchased on the Replacement Skid Shoes for MacDon page.
