We put fiberglass fingers on Case IH heads on 2388's when they first came out, maybe six or seven years ago. We had steel fingers going through the combine and being sent through the top of the choppers. One went through the fuel tank. The fiberglass ones we had available to us at that time wore down to a splintered stump in about a week. But there was no more damage to the cross augers or the combine. We eventually went back to steel fingers because of the large volume of fiberglass ones we were replacing on 8 heads. For one combine run by the owner I'd say go with fiberglass. You'll have time to replace them on the tough dewey mornings we have in the midwest. Jim
