With its 6" width, the Paddle lifts and feeds crop that standard tines miss. Full crop contact provides positive and even feeding into the header. The Paddle helps reduce or eliminate the need for cumbersome and expensive air reels.
HCC’s patented tine mounting system makes installation fast and easy. Simply remove one screw and replace the standard plastic tine with a Paddle. On wood bat reels Paddles install between steel tines by drilling one hole for each Paddle attaching bolt.
Installation
Switching from standard tines to Paddle tines (and back again when desired) is quicker and less costly than other options. Thanks to HCC’s patented tine mounting system, installation is fast and easy. Simply remove one screw and replace the standard plastic tine with a Paddle. On wood bat reels, Paddles install between steel tines by drilling one hole for each Paddle attaching bolt. By limiting the number of Paddles used, you save installation time and money. In less than one hour, you can easily replace enough of your standard tines with Paddle tines to dramatically improve your harvest.
