Duck Foot Paddle Tines have made a name for themselves by helping farmers move more crop off the header and into the combine. Whether you’re dealing with short crops, brittle pods, or tough harvest conditions, they’re a simple upgrade that delivers real results.

But like any harvest tool, it’s important to know when they’ll perform at their best—and when you might want to think twice.

Here’s what you should know.

How Duck Foot Handles Down Crops

One of the most common questions we hear is: “How do Duck Foot Paddle Tines handle a down crop?”

The good news is, they work very well in fully down crops. The added push and motion from the paddles help lift material into the header, keeping harvest moving even when the crop is flat. Whether it’s flattened canola, tangled cereals, or another tough situation, Duck Foot gives you that extra boost to keep feeding clean and steady.

If you’re dealing with a challenging field, they’re a proven tool to reduce crop loss and frustration.

Beyond handling tough crops, Duck Foot Paddle Tines are easy to install and built tough. Their simple snap-on design means you can upgrade your header in minutes without special tools or downtime. Plus, they’re made from durable materials that are built to handle season after season of hard work.

That means less hassle, more efficiency—and a better shot at keeping every bushel you worked for.Want to find out if Duck Foot Paddle Tines are the right fit for your harvest this season? Call us at (701) 355-5700—we’ll walk you through it!
