Quick Feed Invention Pays Off
It turns out that Bob Dun
ton’s Quick Feed devices first
used to harvest storm-twisted
corn in Year 2000 are paying off
handsomely in the 2001 crop as
well. In the current harvest,
farmers are finding out that the
Quick Feed puts an end to the
perennial problem of dry fluff,
and in so doing evens out the

auger. They make harvesting
faster and much safer.
This also means that the corn
feeds evenly into the full width

Bob Dunton, Topeka, 111. ran
into a real problem in the 2000
harvest. His corn was down so
bad that he could not see the
rows. He experienced one choke
up after another. Especially bad
was dry fluff. It would just float
above his cross auger and not go
into the feeder house.

going,” Dunton said.
