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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
For those of you who have older S-680s or S 690s I have a few questions.
I put 325+ separator hours a year on a 2014 S690 and am trying to figure out an average yearly repairs/maintenance that other people have with similar machines. I'm not including header maintenance, lease/ownership...
Last season we removed the rotor on a 9750 for a service and a full rotor cage rebuild. Since it has been reinstalled we are now having problems with rice straw wrapping around the rear of the rotor causing the rear wall b/w the rotor and gearbox to get hot. It is only happening with rice straw...
Found out today that you can go to your local John Deere dealership and buy Service Advisor. What I've been told was it came out Monday for the agriculture side. You can buy the EDL and the license around $200 a month. The only bad thing is you cannot get programs.
Im returning to the farm after 20 years and Im starting to update "within the last 20 years" some equipment. Anyway I purchased a 1996 John Deere 9500 on auction that has John Deere Greenstar yield monitor. Everything except the display or a gps. Im very new to precion ag but can anyone tell me...
