Dibber, I have our 97 R72 on Trelleborg big single fronts, and biggest rears available in 97. The front is at least 3" higher without headers, and is still higher in front with headers on. I use the high capacity chaffer in corn and works great. The engineers thought that my setup would work fine, because when they made the long shoe in 96, they almost over-did the tip foreward, so is ok to run as you are setup in my opinion. Am writing this from the sunny beaches of the Dominican Republic. I recommend it as a break from constant thoughts of the next best thing in harvesting. Always enjoy all the threads on this site. later, Doug
