I have a R42 and installed a Maurer on before it harvested its first acre. With the extension the grain tank now holds 225 bu. With 30.5 tire the combine will clear 13.5' with Maurer folded out, When folded down it adds about 2" in heigth. There are a couple on the market that look like they were built by the same Mfg. Example Maurer and JandM , Both look good to me. When I installed mine I put a 2x4 under the lip on the top of the grain tank in the front and back for extra strengh because of extension hold downs. You can move your bin full warning sensor toward the top of the extension so they are still functionable. When the grain is heaped high do not stop fast or you will have a avalanche of grain coming down on your cab. If the extension doesn't fold with ease the frame may need to be adjusted. There is a hole on the lip of the grain tank on the right hand side of the combime used for adjustment of the clean grain elevator that may need plugged so grain does not leak out.
