One of the biggest issues facing farmers at harvest is the limited capacity that they encounter with their draper header feed drum. As OEM header drums force material towards the center of the drum and only feed through at the center of the drum, this limits the capacity to feed crops into the combine,and ultimately reduces the capacity of the header. In addition farmers run the risk of plugging their machine, as well as increasing rotor loss as often the material will clump when feeding with the OEM drums.

The iPaddock Typhoon™ was designed to maximize capacity and minimize downtime. This heavy-duty feed drum is designed with strength and adaptability. It is one of the highest and most efficient combine harvest equipment in the market.
The iPaddock Typhoon™ grabs crops and pulls it through in a continuous even flow, allowing you to go faster and get the crop off fast.
The iPaddock Twister™ chain tensioner is the latest product from iPaddock (a management system farm based in the south east of Western Australia founded in 1992). This chain tensioner solution fixes the problem of the drive chain coming off the feed drum on the Macdon fronts. It has a slot that is cam shaped that makes precise adjustment of chain tension possible with just manual pressure, while preventing the tensioner from sliding loose in the way when it is tightened up again.
