Its been my experience that the standard chopper works well enough if it has the infeed roll installed. All the new ones should have this as standard now. Even without the mods on 2003 machines they would spread bean material nearly 30'. Wheat straw would not go quite that far. If you see one that has had the roll installed, the round tube just in front of the chopper needs to be pulled out. The instructions with the roller kit did not say to do it but the rod_tube is there to keep the rubber curtain in the right place and is not supposed to be in there with the roll. I think the chaff spreader needs to have the 3" mounting spacers removed and be bolted back directly on the rear frame. This makes a larger opening for any green stems that do not get pulled into the chopper by the roll to fall out. Otherwise they can fall and possibly build up on the chaff spreader frame. The NH yield monitor works good. They have a separate display pod comming out soon so you can have the yeild monitor display on the second screen while the main combine screen has the loss sensor display showing. Up till now you could only watch one at a time. Hopper extensions beyond the factory 300bu ones will void all powertrain warranty. any damage that can be blamed on overloading the machine can be denied coverage. I would suggest ordering the planetary finaldrives instead of the standard finaldrives. Having the electric sieves can be pretty nice. It would make sieve removal alot more time consuming.
