John Deere® Compatible Poly Auger Retractable Finger (265mm)
Protect your harvesting investment and maintain smooth material flow with this premium aftermarket poly auger retractable finger. Specifically engineered for John Deere® 900F Flex, 900R Rigid, and 914P Pickup cutting platforms, these poly fingers offer a high-performance alternative to traditional steel components.
The primary advantage of these poly retractable fingers is their ability to safeguard your machine from catastrophic internal damage. In the event of a finger break, the high-strength poly material passes through the threshing system without causing the expensive damage associated with steel fingers. This solution provides protection for your internal components while keeping your feeding system in top condition.

Expert Maintenance Review
The composite retractable finger is a critical "safety fuse" for your center feed drum. While steel fingers can shear and cause severe damage to the rotor and concaves, these composite versions provide a high-performance alternative that offers peace of mind in rocky or difficult conditions. We recommend inspecting the finger length and tip condition during every preventative maintenance check.
Switching to composite fingers is a strategic choice to **save money** on potential major repairs. Although composite fingers may wear slightly faster than steel in highly abrasive conditions, the trade-off in machine protection is substantial. This ensures your crop handling assembly remains in top condition, preventing the mid-harvest downtime that results from a metal object entering the threshing zone.
Critical Installation Requirement
Please note that poly fingers require specific finger guides designed for poly material. Do not use standard steel finger guides, as the internal tolerances and friction properties differ. Ensuring the correct guide is installed alongside your new H205318 fingers is essential for a longer service life and smooth operation.
