Crops: Wheat, Canola, Flax, & Peas: I installed the rotor flights in 2009 and grow mainly wheat, canola, flax and peas. The flights definitely reduced the rotor rumble and I'm able to run in tougher conditions without all the rotor growling. Flow through the rotor is much smoother now compared to the old ear design. I didn't remove the feeder to install the rotor flights but I did remove the concaves so it was a 2 man job to install. Not too hard at all. I would definitely recommend the rotor flights. Great company to deal with, very personable and great communication. I was so impressed with the rotor flights that I have just ordered a set of the transition plates. Randy McFadden SK, Canada

Crops: Sorghum, Wheat, Chickpeas, & Barley: I love the rotor flights. It is amazing how quiet the machine runs. No more grumbling. I believe it has dramatically improved the feeding efficiency and harvest efficiency of our header.  The flights were simple to install. I also put the rotor transition plates on at the same time and was surprised by how much the originals on the rotor had worn. This has to be one of the easiest cost effective ways to enhance the performance of your header. Matt Mckenzie, Coonamble, Australia

Crop: Rice & Soy beans: We installed one of your rotor flight kits on our 1680 for the '08 harvest. The machine ran smoother in rice and soybeans and more than once it would have plugged up if it weren't for the rotor flight kit (we didn't plug it up at all in rice, which is our main crop) the crop just went right through. I would recommend the kit to anyone. Of all the other kits that I have seen the Kile Rotor Flight Kit looks to be the best for the money, ease of installation, and quality. Thanks, Mark Bowers Jonesboro, AR

Crop: Corn & Beans: I'm really impressed! I cut about 2 acres of beans in the rain the other day just because I could...have never been able to do that before. Also, was very impressed with the quality of your workmanship...nice stuff. I will wholeheartedly recommend them. G. Cameron Brown, Brocton, IL

Crop: Rice:  Your rotor flights are all you said and more. We have cut about 500 acres of rice with some lodging (down rice is about as hard on a combine as anything you will find to harvest) we have increased ground speed about 4 tenths mph. This may not sound like much but from 2.3 to 2.7mph is significant with fuel still about $3.50 a gallon. Your product is highly recommended.                       Michael Riggs, Cash, Arkansas

Primary crop: Corn & Beans: Thank you for an excellent product! I have a 2388 CIH with a specialty rotor. This has always been a good machine but it never cared to feed green stem soybeans through the transition cone smoothly. Now that I have installed your rotor flights, this combine has never run this smooth in these conditions before. No thumping and banging....the phrase "smooth as silk" comes to mind. Brian Altenderfer, Trenton,  MO

Primary crop: Corn & Beans: Replacing my elephant ears with the Kile Flights made a huge improvement in harvesting green stem beans. KRF's are a real deal! Tom Dague Johnstown, OH

Primary crop: tall fescue: I have installed your KRF's in my 1680 and it can now really push more stuff and it is quieter. I've been able to compare your rotors to the newer AFX equipped machines and the KRF is easily equivelent. Don Kauer, Hillsboro OR

Primary crop: small cereal grains: Since installing the Kile Flights in my 1470 I've noticed more available horsepower and less fuel useage. The crop flows through the machine smoothly with no backfeeding. Roy Dube Rosalia, WA 

Primary crop: small cereal grains:  I run a 2188 combine and this 80 Series purchase was a great value! It has paid for itself. Of all the upgrades I have installed on my combine, this is the one product that made the biggest difference. It has improved feeding, threshing, and was more fuel efficient.Scott Anderson, Reardon WA

Primary crop: small cereal grains:  My 1470 combine didn't growl in the concaves; it was smoother. I believe I used less fuel with this product.Galen Blank, Rosalia, WA

Combine Mechanic Comments:

Jim McMillan, Spokane combine technician: Jim has over 25 years of experience with combines and says, "I like the fact that it just bolted on. It made installation and setting the combine up for threshing simple and easy. A post harvest inspection showed minimal component wear."
