nice job

[norrathnd]

not equipped as you say does have header tilt that's it and the 9700 series have about 15 degrees of header tilt which is what i see here want to dispute me anyone can log on john deere.com and look up combines nice use of contour master by the way

[hillcotechnologies]

@norrathnd

Contour Master only tilts the feederhouse 4°. As I have said in other responses this combine is equipped with a Hillco Sidehill Leveling System. Because the whole chassis tilts so that the combine will stay level on hills the header must tilt also. The Contour Master does not tilt far enough so a different feederhouse front is put on which tilts more than roughly 18% or 10.2°.

[Peter40941]

dobra praca 

[Danieleczko]

I na co mu taki duży heder???..same problemy z takim!:D

[L3GIT321]

omg

[scullan74]

Its not a sidehill maching, the feeder house has a deal that tilts the head, trust me I own a 9770. not the undercarriage.

[hillcotechnologies]

@scullan74 . The combine is equipped with a Hillco Sidehill leveling system. Because the combine can stay level on slopes up to 18% or 10.2° the header needs to tilt that far. On your 9770 you have Contour Master and you can tilt the head 4°. My point about the undercarriage is that you can tell by looking at the undercarriage that it is a Hillco equipped machine not a stock level land combine.

dobre



[BELR01]

and out them back in once you have finished in that area

[BELR01]

why dont you just take the sign posts out

[cc9z]

wish i got his public aid check called c.r.p.

[santosteixeira76]

by the looks on the road sign(tilted) it's not the first time the drive does that...

[everyonelovesstuart]

Nice maneuvering but not that uncommon see it all the time during harvest

[Spurlylock]

that is pretty sweet there

[goiowa2010]

do that all the time in our 8120. No sense in taking the head off to go 15 min away.

[landrace2010]

i dont know how many times iv had to do that you got to know move that big machine down narrow roads with alot of signs

[pritcqp]

what series was that combine?

[skidooracing2011]

ya thats a side hill

[320tims]

I farm, It's guys like you that give us a bad name.... 5 minutes to to unplug and get the head off... Remember the times when it took three hours to change heads on a 55 John Deere. Jerk

[freddythestandard]

nice operation man

[greenarcticcat400]

whats up with guy behind it

[77cw]

Big fucking deal! The one sign is bent from before!

[Flipzsd2]

epic #FAIL no flashers....dude be safe!

[cwarrior3]

That is a sidehill. I ran an sts with contour master this summer with a 36 foot draper and it tilted like 5 degrees at the max. thats gotta be a sidehill

[Karred2]

great job in explaining why all six of K-top's heads had a bent panel in the bottom.

[Valkmir]

i bigtime loled

[davindk]

yes

[aaronnhart]

its still just a john deere so why does anyone care? just wondering...

[dutch69hick]

because it john deere obvi

[hillcotechnologies]

Because it is a Deere equiped with a Hillco Technologies Sidehill Leveling System. The chasis of the combine will stay level on up to 18% slopes and because of this the header will tilt to over 20% side to side. The purpose of keeping the combine level is to increase grain savings and productivity on hills.

[phil656565]

@hillcotechnologies does the chassis automatically level itself?

[hillcotechnologies]

@phil656565 Yes. The undercarriage of the combine has a slope sensing clinometer that sends signals to hydraulic valves that control flow to two cylinders that tilt the combine relative to the undercarriage. The further the combine is out of level the faster it will level until it gets close to level and then the leveling will slow down. The operator can manually override the automatic leveling if they choose to.

[pinchnloaf]

@aaronnhart sorry, we cant all run L2 gleaners.

[aaronnhart]

@pinchnloaf hahaha, sorry, personally i'm not at all a fan of john deere, but nothing against anyone who uses them, just in my opinion they are more expensive and burn ALOT more fuel, and are not quite as well designed, personally i'm a new holland fan, or case (but they're the same thing) but no offence to people that use john deere,

[pinchnloaf]

@aaronnhart only the 9860 and 9870 burn alot of fuel because of the bigger engine. the 9770 burns significantly less. new holland and case are two completely different combines. new holland has a conventional and a twin rotor, while case still runs their single rotor style.

[Benjih14]

@pinchnloaf new holland has a bigger engine yet, and still burns less, and no sorry, new holland and case are owned by the same company now, yes case has single rotor, and new holland has twin and conventional, but they are owned by the same company, we have a CX8080, harvesting canola gets about 11 to 13 gallons/hr, and wheat is burns about 15 to 17/hr, many newer john deeres burn well over 25, thats huge savings, we're making our payments on our CX 8080 simply with the fuel that we are saving

[pinchnloaf]

@Benjih14 so can i say that a deere walker machine and a rotary are the same combine because they are produced by the same company? doesn't make sense does it. yes, deeres big combines are hard on fuel. that's why i run 9770's. they burn around the same fuel you do, and do pretty much the same acres in a day as the 9870.

[aaronnhart]

@pinchnloaf sorry, my brother was signed in there... that is his account... not that johndeeres are bad combines i just personally think that new holland is much better and a more practical way to go, but i grew up with case and new holland so i guess thats kinda what i know, while i'm guessing you probably grew up with john deere

[caseih485]

If that was me, a hacksaw would have taken care of those markers...

[SilverGleaner]

@caseih485 and then a nice fat fine would have come your way

[Lexusd59]

Somebody should've removed the header....

[Musicman55ism]

why?

[ej20264]

why??? we drive down the gravel roads with 3 9670sts and 30 foot heads on all of them....we have no problems.

[Lexusd59]

@Lexusd59 Oh my bad. It takes too much time......

[rotunda57]

Is that a turdy foot head?

[HugsnNuclearArms]

These sidehill combines crack me up.

[msekavec]

I don't think that is a side hill, it just has contour master on it. And rotunda57 i would put my money on 35' head.

[hillcotechnologies]

It is an STS equipped with a Hillco Sidehill Leveling System and you are correct by saying it is a 35' head.

[Musicman55ism]

its not a sidehill

[hillcotechnologies]

It is a Hillco Sidehill. You can tell by looking at the undercarriage. That isn't stock and also Deere stock combines with Contour Master only tilt 4 degrees side to side. This will tilt considerably further.

[phil656565]

@hillcotechnologies thats an impressive tilt, nice handling, great job to the driver

[smokinf150]

@Musicman55ism you know you can lay those down, maybe instead filming the guy should have does his job as a lead

[nchayfarmer]

theres a time when you take the head off thats a ticket here on state roads we had 2 accidents last year involving combine bean heads with people hitting them how they hit something as big as a house I dont know but it takes 1 minute to unhook that head

[jbacon24]

Well you know i farm and i do this with a 16 row corn head. If people can not see it then to fucking bad. I have a job to do and i do not have time to waste. We run 15,000 acres with only two combines and 4 carts. and i takes like 5 min to unhook and 5 min to hook back up plus you have to have another guy to move the head. so yeah if you do not like it then get the hell outa my way because i will hit you with a corn snoot.

[nchayfarmer]

@jbacon24 that would make your head 42 foot wide if its 30 inch rows you cant even get that in most fields btw if it takes you 5 minutes to unhook your head you need to get your ass on the cart and let somebody else drive the combine we have a old 9610 with a chain on each side and 5 hydraulic lines and 1 electric hookup and it takes me 2 minutes to unhook and tie down and get gone I dont know where you farm but around here there aint 42 foot between the trees on the road

[jbacon24]

@nchayfarmer well we farm ne iowa and yes we pick with a 16 row corn head and we have a forty foot been head. the only time we use the cart is if we are going more then 5 miles down the road. we run lexions and we do have some trouble on some roads but can manage most fo them

[nchayfarmer]

@jbacon24 well iowa would explain the no trees part but hell man you would be knocking the corn over in the other farmers fields lol we are about to buy a 9770 with a 35 foot platform we have a 25 now most of the time we just block traffic for anything under 5 miles its just safer to not have it on but hell our combine is almost 20 foot wide without the head so either way its goin to be hell

[jbacon24]

@nchayfarmer well trees and corn are not our prolem it is road signs and other things of that sort. we run manly all corn and only about 1000 acres of beans.

[nchayfarmer]

@jbacon24 yeah I have knocked more signs over than I care to explain lol we custom pick around 1000 acres of beans and 500 of our own and we custom pick around 500 acres of corn and 300 of our own

[kinghowie8]

run the stupid signs over! lol

[cumminspower10]

hes using a contour master not his hill co

[hillcotechnologies]

Cumminspower10: He is using the Hillco Lateral Tilt not contour master. When a Leveling System is installed contour master is either taken off or a new combine is ordered without contour master. The Hillco Sidehill header tilt goes 18 degrees left and right where as JD contour master only goes 4 degrees.

[ej20264]

that not contour master,  its tilts too far for that.

[canora2]

that header lifts up pretty damn high
