The high tin head has a steeper incline so you will definitely want to use a wedge kit to make it run flatter. If you are going to change the stalk rolls, use the original style or you will be replacing gearboxes when you should be combining. Not that the other rolls will not work, just much more load on the gear boxes and they are not designed for that. If you are replacing the rolls, don't mess with a puller, unless you want to save a worn out roller. My brother works at deere on corn heads and has his own massive hydraulic puller and we struggled for an hour on a couple and could not budge them. I got up early next morning and took a cut-off wheel on my 5" grinder and cut almost through the roller on the side where the holes are to hook the puller and drove a chisel in the groove and split them. Took all of 10 minutes to pop both rollers off. Also if you have head mounted on combine you must protect your cab glass as grinder sparks will damage the glass.
