Designed to clear the cutter bar and decrease header loss, the Duck Foot aftermarket paddle tine feeds crops more evenly into the combine header for improved threshing and yield, while allowing for increased ground speed.
“We recommend that you put it on every second tine and then offset on you next bat. The point is to keep the grain moving and reducing your header loss,” added Kastning.
The Duck Foot paddle tine fits MacDon, John Deere, Case, New Holland, AGCO and Massey Ferguson headers and has been used in peas, hay, lentils, chickpeas, soybeans, lupins, edible beans, flax, straight cut canola and all cereals.
The recommended number of tines based on size of header are as follows: 45’ header should have 205 tines, 40’ header should have 190 tines, 35’ header should have 175 tines and 30’ header should have 160 tines.
