I had just went past mattoon and seen a deere combine but it was narrow and really boxy.... pretty sure it said 9670 or some combination like that... just curious..

Probably seen a 9570sts, they are boxy, since the width of the sep. is the same as a 6620, it tends to leave alot of room between the gullwing doors and sep. sidesheets.

Heard there was a prototype or two at the factory in the not so distant past... perhaps you caught a glimpse of one of these?

T670? They aren't boxy, but are a European Walker, so you might consider it unsual.

Am I seeing wrong or does it say Hillmaster on the side of that T670? Doesn't look like there's a sidehill kit under that thing. Self-leveling shoe maybe?

Made me dig my glasses out.
Doesn't help much though, it does end Master but I can't tell the front letters.

It sure sits up off the axles like our 9510 sidehill does. I don't see the hydraulic cylinders though. Some other mechanism of leveling? To my eyes it says hillmaster and the machine looks like a sidehill from the height perspective.

Definately says HILLMASTER

If it is anything like the S690i the final drives actually rotate like a cam to raise and lower each side. Can't remember if it goes 15 or 22 degrees though??? Interesting looking setup.

I saw a machine like that on a delaers lot in Colorado today.

hi

im from the UK these combines are very popular, as bighammer says it is a hillmaster combine and the final drives rotate to lift or lower the combine, it compensates for 15% slope and then the feeder house will go for 7% giving a total 22% slope and the combine will still be level.
