Combines 653 row crop head

We put a couple of paddles on the auger to help move the material back to the feedchain. They are about as high as the flighting and approx. 18 in. long. Weld them on parallel to auger so that the paddle is trailing back slightly so the material does not try to follow the auger around. A 10 to 15 degree angle is sufficient. Hope this solves your problem, it sure helped on ours. It seems those green contraptions need all the help they can get sometimes.

Did you use steel or rubber for the paddlesIJ Thanks for your help!

We used steel but I suppose thick rubber would work. It would be harder to attach but it would be safer if it would ever come off.
