Duck Foot Tines Help Reduce Header Loss
 ✖  |
Grain loss was the reason behind the development of the Duck Foot paddle tine. Saskatchewan farmer, Steve Kastning, was tired of watching his lentils sit and shake on the cutter bar and fall to the ground. He had previously used things like belting or duct tape but wanted something better. So, he got innovative and created a part that works with the regular tines on a combine header, sliding right over top and attaching to the reel pipe. The wide paddle design feeds crop that standard tines can miss. “Customers can see the benefit of constantly moving the crop for less header loss and a more even feed for better threshing,” says Kastning.
The Duck Foot was first made to fit MacDon headers as that’s what Steve used himself. However, due to farmer interest for other headers, the product line is expanding, and a new part made to fit John Deere and Hart Carter reels will be available for the 2020 harvest. A new feature is a reusable clip to further secure each paddle tine in place.
