My son in laws new 9760......at RDO Wasco this past May getting
the new engine crankshaft update. Alongside his machine, which is
equiped with a Hillco leveler, is another 9760 which is decked out
with a leveler from RAHCO.
Here she is at work on some fairly nasty ground that is just east of
The Dalles, Oregon. OK, the light was crummy and I had to shoot this
right into the sun, but you get the idea. I rode around this patch on the first pass....the machine felt really stable. Seems to handle the downhill stuff well.....with no ballast in the rear tires.
By the time I got to the field on this evening, they were done with the
really steep stuff......I hope to get some better shots of this machine
working on some steep ground later in the season.
I just wish the Hillco stuff would have the leveling capacity of the former factory options. To this day, I'm still impressed by the stately 6602 and 6622!
OK, so I lied......well not really. Just didn't ever get the time to get
away from our own harvest to get some pictures of the 9760 in action
on something steep. But the son in laws' crew did get a few....here
it is in action over near the Deschutes River, cutting in a side canyon
that comes up out of the river.
I think your pictures should be required to have a disclosure of some type, something like this.

Wish I could have shot these in a little different light....sorta fun
though with all the dust coming off the combine....looks like it's in
some kind of storm.
The view from where they were cutting .....this place is practically
in The Dalles ( with all the problems that go with being too close)
This is The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River....I was drooling trying
to figure out a way to get the 9760 in frame with this in the background.......maybe next summer!
