New Low Profile Combine Bin Extension

New Low Profile Combine Bin Extension COMBINES Accessories 15-2-29 If you own a Deere or Case-IH combine, you'll like this compact new "low profile" bin extension that lets you add an extra 70 to 110 bu. capacity to the grain tank while adding just 14 in. to the grain tank height. "We've used it since 1979 on our own combines," says Bob Maurer, manufacturer. "It lets combines fit under most machine shed doors without having to fold the bin extension down. If height is still a problem you can fold the extension down. It also takes stress off the bin's fill auger, because it doesn't have to push grain up so high, reducing auger wear. It also lowers the combine's center of gravity." The extension is made of four metal side panels and four metal corner panels that mount on a two-part frame at the top of the tank. In 5 minutes, you can remove the sides and store them inside the tank, fold the corners down over them, and return the combine to its original height for transport or storage. Sells for $650 to $730 depending on combine model. For more information, contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Maurer Mfg., Inc., Rt. 2, Sutherland, Iowa 51058 (ph 712933-2758).
