No Agco doesn't have such a thing. Loewen does. They will bolt in place of old discharge paddle. If you have a new enough machine to have extended bars or have extended bars to discharge with Gleaner kit you would have to cut some of the Loewen bar off to fit. We have made our own by using a good piece of old cylinder bar to extend within a couple inches of the end of backup bar. We have only did this to every other bar location. I believe St. John has built quite a few with no discharge bars (just ran every bar to end of rotor). Remember that rasp bar alone has a hard time moving material over without the help of helical. This is why you want to extend top helical into area ahead of discharge to about 4" from bearing plate. Same goes for helical has a hard time moving material over by itself so you need the help of forward rasp bar. When your working on this area of rotor it would be advisable to add a thick flat washer to under side of spider at all eight locations on last two spiders. We use the flat washer that is used to hold gusset for discharge paddle in place. If you ever lose a chopper or impeller belt it will put a ton of pressure on discharge paddle area.
