I follow a 2388 CASE combine with a Hill Co. leveling system on it. Hillside cutting in HD, while chopping it up with the crew.

Love that country, great job y’all

[@cousinbuzzin9060]

I learned to unload on- the- go when I was real young. That way the combine didn't need to stop cutting. I grew up 30 miles South of Spokane, WA. We had some of those fun hills. Those eyebrows were fun to sled down in the winter.

[@MrRoute661]

Didn’t have bank out wagons so how about the truck driver who kept truck under spout-on the fly…moving back and forth to distribute load? Oh yah, rarely was ground smooth, especially fall wheat fields.

It's always amazed me how fast the color of equipment changes once you get into the steep country. Here is east Idaho we have a lot of Deere, but when you get into the hills it quickly becomes red a yellow(Challenger) tractors.

Wow, thats crazy. I am a canadian flat prairie operator and we have a couple of big hills. Someday i want to get out that way at harvest and go for a whole afternoon ride. I will bring my own clean underwear and toilet paper just in case.

[@TrevorStruthers]

You can do it!

[@MrRoute661]

Grew up on farm in the Palouse. Nine years old I was the,”Cat-skinner”. Some hills I would have the cat track right on the grain cut the Deere 36B would be at an angle behind me so that only about a 1/3 of the header was cutting grain. No big…everyday business.

[@johnwaddell7239]

We have steep hills in Scotland and i know from experience that its a lot steeper in a tractor on a hill than it looks when you are lower down looking at it ,been on bits where you put your feet on dash to stop sliding out seat but that stubble will be a bit safer than wet slidy grass

[@garyreid7865]

have to the bloke that does mine , ours is not that steep

[@lancedever5633]

I just watch if I am over that way. I don’t like that sliding feeling. Happy harvesting!

[@joescheller6680]

Out in central state we talk about cab corn or wheat or soybeans. You haven't got a level enough field to test it like we do. It's always over the front of hopper but in your country can be over any side if you ain't careful

[@John-nc4bl]

Trevor, thanks for another video. Hinged draper heads would be better for some of the uneven ground.

[@TrevorStruthers]

Absolutely, the older one in followinf has its case header thats smaller and doesnt drape. Thats why he buzzed it on that skyline

I grew up ìn that country on those hills but ran JD95H at 13 loved those times also got to move the trap wagon a1946 ford😅😅.

Why do you run normal bar tread tires on the 2388 but on the new combines you run diamond tread and which one does better in the hills

I have diamond tread on my 9120 and it works. It slides a bit. I think they both dont work well enough.

Shank Spacing 15 inches. However, they are using a shank that seeds two rows 4 inches apart and then they are on the shanks that are 15 inches apart. It is confusing but I think its like 11 inches.
