Combines Cross flow fans

My experience with the cross-flow conversion is that it works well on a long shoe combine but does not on a short shoe. On a short shoe combine I find air is directed more to the rear of the chaffer. With the air set so grain is not blown out the back, there is insufficient air at the front so the grain rides out the back in the chaff. If you want to modify the cleaning fan, in a short shoe model, I recommend a Hillco fan kit. I have some of these kits in stock. To order one, please phone 1-800-745-1680.

what is the hillco fan kit. I have just bought a 1680 short shoe, paddle fan. Previous owner said he had no probs on dockage, but I may be pickier.
