John Deere® Compatible Bisalloy Feed Accelerator & Beater Wear Plate
Enhance the threshing efficiency of your machine with this premium C&M Australian-made feed accelerator wear plate. Specifically engineered for John Deere® STS and S-Series combine harvesters, these serrated plates are a high-performance alternative to standard factory units, ensuring consistent material flow into the rotor.
Manufactured in our Griffith factory from 8mm Bisalloy 400 steel, these plates are precision laser-cut with a notched profile to maintain an aggressive grip on crop material. The high-strength Bisalloy construction provides superior abrasion resistance, keeping your intake system in top condition for a significantly longer service life compared to original equipment.

Expert Maintenance Review
The feed accelerator and discharge beater plates are critical for maintaining high-capacity crop flow. Once the serrated notches begin to round off due to constant friction, the accelerator loses its ability to pull material away from the feeder house effectively, leading to "slugging" and rotor loss. We recommend inspecting the sharpness of these notches during every preventative maintenance cycle.
Upgrading to Bisalloy 400 plates is a high-performance choice. This extended wear material maintains its notched profile much longer than standard steel, ensuring your machine stays in top condition. Replacing all 30 plates as a complete set ensures a balanced assembly and prevents uneven wear on the accelerator supports.
Installation Tip: Fastener Security
Please note that fasteners are not included with these plates. When installing new H165407 wear plates, always use high-tensile hardware and check for correct torque settings. Given the high rotational speeds of the feed accelerator, ensuring a high-strength mechanical connection is vital to prevent plate detachment and subsequent internal damage.
