See Through Pipe Reel

See through pipe reel COMBINES Accessories 17-2-23 You can update older combine reels to "like new" condition by replacing wooden bats and steel fingers with new "see through" pipe reel "bats" fitted with plastic fingers. "It improves crop visibility and virtually eliminates wrapping," says Ralph Bolinger of CFC Distributors. "The conversion also reduces shatter loss because the 1 3/8-in. dia. pipes are much smaller than wooden bats. Our refit kit costs far less than new pipe reels available from combine manufacturers. As far as I know it's the only conversion package on the market that lets you switch to pipe reels and plastic fingers at the same time. You simply unbolt the wooden bats and bolt on the new pipes. The fingers bolt onto brackets welded onto the pipes." Sells for $40 per ft.
