Cutting wheat at the SRS Ranches home place.....Delou's.
The 8010 & the 1670 getting ready for the day, parked up
in "The Saddle"

The 8010 laying out a draw on a beautiful harvest morning.

A little closer look at the 8010 as it lays out the draw.
Some pretty nice wheat in here.

A lttle different angle.

The 8010 coming back to wards the truck landing; the 8010 took
the longer run out to the east, while yours truly in the 1670 took
the run to the west, down to wards Eightmile Creek.

A little hill climb on the way back.

The 8010 working on top of a ridge in the early evening.

Pulling in to the truck landing....getting ready to unload onto
"******"

Ran out of leveler here.....the 8010 working on a north slope.

A head shot of the 8010.....in the background is the draw seen in the
first pictures of this thread.

Handed off the 'ol Kodak to one of our ace truck drivers, " Hollywood"
Jay Wilson and told him to make me look good. Here we had the 8010
set up going around one patch, while I took the 1670 on an " out &
back" run on a big south slope. Part of this slope exceeds the leveling
capacity of the 8010. Here the 1670 has left the truck landing at the
top of the ridge and is heading down the slope on it's run.

Got her half full......headed back up.

One of my favorite places on the ranch.....killer view of the mountain
and the wheat is really nice down in here. On a couple of passes
on this run.....it's steep enough to "turn the light on" ( the level
limit warning light) .....thats 48% in the 1670.

A shot of the 1670 from below as it goes by.

Moved across the road......the 8010 opening up a new piece on the
last 175 acres that we have to cut at Delou's.

Thanks for more interesting shots, 98j.
I'm sittine here at work dreaming about out cutting wheat with that 8010. Ah well, sitting looking out of my office at big Boeing jets here at the airline is better than nothing!

Wonder how that 8010 would look with the new Honeybee 45' flex draper head crawling around a steep hillside mowing a heavy crop of wheat. I'd like to see that.

Great Pics... keep them coming. A question.... have you done the power curve mod on that 8010? Looks like you would need 450+ doing that hill climb!

Beautiful pics, 98J! I have been wanting to see more of the 8010 with its Hillco stuff. The machine is awesome!
