If you’ve ever fought with uneven crop flow or frustrating feed delays during harvest, chances are your OEM drum is part of the problem. Factory-standard finger drums often don’t cut it, especially in tough conditions or when you’re pushing hard to beat the weather. You need a combine drum upgrade for better crop feeding.
That’s where the i-paddock Typhoon changes the game. With more fingers, a smarter design, and farmer-focused details, the Typhoon delivers the consistent, aggressive feed modern harvest demands.
Why OEM Drums Fall Short
Most OEM models come with 12 to 18 fingers. That might have been fine once upon a time, but today’s headers are wider, crop conditions more variable, and harvest timelines tighter than ever. With fewer fingers grabbing crop, OEM drums struggle to keep up—especially in green-stemmed beans, tangled barley, or heavy cereal stubble.
That leads to gaps in feeding, slugging, and even bunching at the feederhouse. The fix usually isn’t easy—changing a broken finger on an OEM setup can be slow and fiddly, costing you precious time during harvest.
The Typhoon Advantage: 25 Fingers, Full Steel Strength
The i-paddock Typhoon drum is built differently. It runs 25 solid steel fingers. That extra grip means it grabs more crop at once and keeps it moving smoothly across the front, even in challenging conditions.
The result? Less stopping, less slugging, and a faster, more consistent feed that keeps your combine running at peak efficiency.
Maintenance Without the Headache
But it’s not just about performance. The Typhoon was also designed to save you time when things do need attention. Its hinge-style finger holders make replacements quick and easy. No fighting with seized bolts or reaching around the drum. You can pop a new finger in and be back harvesting in minutes—not hours.
That smart design feature turns what used to be a frustrating delay into a quick pit stop.
Built for Harvest Reality
The Typhoon drum is made for real harvest conditions. Solid steel fingers stand up to wear, dirt, and high-volume feeding without flexing or breaking like cheaper materials. Whether you’re running wheat, soybeans, or canola, it feeds fast and stays tough.
And because the drum itself is smaller in diameter than most spreaders on the market, the Typhoon delivers smooth rotation and clean spreading—without the RPMs needed by other systems. That means better control, less vibration, and fewer clogs.
Upgrade What Matters
In harvest, consistency is everything. If your front-end feeding is unreliable, the rest of your combine suffers. The Typhoon gives you the grip, speed, and durability you need, right where it matters most. Upgrade your harvest with the i-paddock Typhoon, the combine drum upgrade for better crop feeding. More fingers, smoother flow, and less downtime in tough conditions. Contact our sales team to get more info at (701) 355-5700.
