Is your combine holding you back?
When the header chokes, the rotor plugs, or you have to swap setups between crops, you slow down and the day gets shorter. Feed it steadier and thresh it cleaner, and you cover more acres before the weather turns.
Sound familiar?
- Slowing down to keep the header from bridging or plugging
- Crop clumping or slugging into the feeder housing
- Stopping to clean out or change setups between crops
- Capacity capped no matter how much horsepower you’ve got

I have an i-paddock Typhoon installed on a 35’ MacDon FD-75s on a Massey Ferguson 9540 HO combine. It works incredibly well. It takes the delivery pinch points out of each side and grabs the canola coming in.

Header feeding, rotor capacity, or crop changeovers, tell us your machine and we’ll help you find the slow point.
Common Questions
How can I make my combine harvest faster?
Remove the bottlenecks: feed the header evenly so it doesn't bridge, and thresh efficiently so the rotor doesn't overload. Both let you raise ground speed.
Why does my header keep plugging?
OEM feed drums often force crop to the center and clump at the pinch points. A drum that grabs and spreads crop evenly feeds a steady stream instead.
Do I need to change concaves between crops?
Not with a variable-bar-spacing concave. It handles multiple crops on one setup, so you skip the downtime of swapping hardware or cover plates.
