When it comes to feeding performance, not all drums are created equal. Most lock you into a single finger position with no real way to adjust for different crops or conditions. That’s where the Typhoon feeder drum breaks the mold.
One of its most practical—and powerful—features is the quick-adjust finger timing, which lets you change the aggressiveness of the drum in seconds. No teardown. No wasted time. Just one nut.
What Is the Quick-Adjust Feature?
The Typhoon feeding drum is designed with 25 solid steel fingers that aggressively pull crop into the combine. But the real genius is in how you can adjust the timing of those fingers by up to 150°—right in the field, without removing the drum.
This is done through a simple lever and lock system. With just a wrench, you loosen a nut, shift the lever to your desired timing, and tighten it back up. That’s it. You’re tuned for the next crop, just like that.
Why Timing Matters
Different crops feed differently. High-volume crops like wheat or canola may require more aggressive timing to keep material moving smoothly. In contrast, light crops or dry conditions might benefit from a slightly softer finger entry to prevent overfeeding.
Being able to control this with one nut means faster changeovers, fewer feeding issues, and better performance from crop to crop.
Real-World Example
Let’s say you’re running canola in the morning with heavy dew and a bit of green still in the stems. That’s a perfect time to advance the finger timing forward so the drum pulls more aggressively and reduces wrapping or bunching.
Later in the day, conditions dry out and you switch to wheat. Now you want a gentler feed—simply back off the timing a touch and go.
Bottom Line
The Typhoon’s quick-adjust feature gives you the ultimate control over feeding behavior, crop to crop, condition to condition. No tools, no downtime, just simple in-field tuning that no other drum on the market offers.
