The sales rep was pointing to the 2388 on display as he was talking about the hp increase, so I don't know if it was a 05 or 06. CW

Reading out of "Product Enhancement for 2006 Model Year 2300 Combines". 2388 HP is up to 285 on the 8.3 l Tier three "Full Authority Fuel Control" (electronic control)engine. A 20hp boost, also a 20hp rise for a 325hp max. 2377 has 255hp with a 20hp boost and a 15hp rise for a 290hp max. Also a new heavy duty 3sp rotor gear case w_ helical cut gears for increased durability and strength, a new and stronger inverted spliceless rotor belt which is 1" shorter because of a repositioned rotor drive gear case. Every year it gets tweaked with small improvements, been doing this for 30 yrs, a big time advantage over the short time competitors.

yeah usually case does look better in test... I remember they had a wagon type deal with clear panels showing each combine matched up to another and what a surprise
