About the technology
Duck Foot® Paddle Tines can quickly be installed onto combine headers to increase harvest efficiency, reduce header loss and help manage straw residue. In cereal crops there is potential to increase ground speed up to 20%. Generally in pulses header loss is between one to four bushels per acre, but the Duck Foot helps keep the loss under 1 bushel. The Duck Foot® paddles help the crop feed into the combine more evenly which helps spread the straw residue more evenly behind the chopper.
Increase harvest efficiency and reduce header loss
GROSSE ISLE (2026)
EMILI will be demonstrating the Duck Foot® paddles in crops, including wheat and soybeans, to determine the differences in header loss and harvest efficiency.
