A Quick Upgrade Farmers Can Install Without Losing Harvest Time.
When harvest is rolling, every minute is worth money. Nobody wants to shut a header down, drag out tools, and lose daylight just to install aftermarket parts. That’s why one of the first questions farmers ask about Duck Foot Paddle Tines is simple:
“How long will it take to put them on?”
The answer: not long at all.
20 Minutes. Two People. Full Header.
Duck Foot Paddle Tines were designed by a Saskatchewan farmer who knew that if an upgrade wasn’t simple, nobody would use it during harvest. So the system was built to install fast, no removing the reel, no special equipment, no shop time.
Two people can outfit a 35′ header in about 20 minutes.
That means you can throw them on before you start a field, or even during a short break, and get right back to harvesting.
Slip On. Clip In. Done.
The installation is as straightforward as it sounds:
- Slide each tine over your existing OEM tine
- Clip it in place with the patented secure clip
- Move to the next one
No bolts. No drilling. No modifications.
Because the clips latch firmly, the tines stay put, even in tough crop conditions.
Most farmers never take them off all season.
Designed by Farmers, for Farmers
Duck Foot wasn’t dreamed up in a boardroom, it was built on a prairie farm in Saskatchewan to solve a real harvest problem: header loss. Too many kernels and pods were falling ahead of the feeder house, and nobody offered a fast, simple fix.
So Duck Foot created one.
The Paddle Tine increases tine surface area by up to 47%, sweeping more crop into the header and reducing shatter loss. It also smooths crop flow so you can run faster and cleaner while leaving less grain on the ground.
An upgrade that pays for itself in acres, not years.
No Lost Time Means More Acres Finished
Downtime during harvest isn’t just annoying, it’s expensive. Weather changes, wind picks up, and every hour you’re parked means potential bushels lost.
That’s why the fast install matters:
- No missed rounds
- No waiting for a mechanic
- No half-day downtime
Just clip them on and get back to cutting.
