Tailboard Blower Keeps Deere Combines Clean
The 4-ft. long slotted metal tube bolts onto the end of a factory exhaust pipe located above the combine’s chopper or power tailboard. No drilling or cutting is required. Fits Deere S-Series combines including the S550, S650, S660, S670, S680, and S690 models.
“It eliminates daily cleaning and a potential fire hazard,” says Dave Burgei, S.I. Distributing, Spencerville, Ohio. “It was developed by a farmer who tested it for a couple of years with good results.
“The problem is that the exhaust pipe on these combines that comes down from the engine wasn’t made long enough to blow air across the tailboard. As a result, the tailboard quickly builds up with trash and dirt. It’s not unusual to have to clean material off the tailboard once a day. Our tube extends the exhaust pipe and directs air onto the tailboard to keep it perfectly clean all of the time. The tube bolts on using three existing bolts.”
Sells for $169 plus S&H.
