Dave thanks for the pictures and the only thing on the new combine I would suggest is move the fire extinguisher up onto the platform and maybe get a bigger ones since there is more plastic pieces. I had a fire once from a bearing going bad on the cornhead on my 2388 and it got to the chaff on the feeder house and the thing that took the longest to put out was the plastic piece under the window. Saved the combine but it was one heck of a mess especially since the front window fell out and lost 2 acres of corn. I had to use the extinguisher to get off the platform as I had a 6 row head and had the ladder swung forward and the corn variety all the tops kept piling in the feed house and ladder. That sort of thing happens so fast you need all of the help you can get. The only other thing to suggest is have 911 addresses for your farms and be sure to know the roads for the fields.
