Hi from Australia, QLD Awesome video..👍 You guys are by far the craziest farmers I've seen, those hills and slopes are for sure dangerous... Our fields here are pretty much flat, about the biggest hill we have to contend with is an ant mound..😁 Stay safe..
Grew up in Moses Lake and Royal City Washington. Went to college in Pullman in 1968. Beautiful country. Dad worked for John Deere Dealer in Almira in the 50's doing set ups on hillside Model 55's.
Thank you for sharing your harvest video . Some very rugged , and yet beautiful scenery ! The old rotor combine still does a nice job ! Never actually saw a hillside combine in action before , pretty neat the way it levels itself on the slopes . A 1670 model , now is that a 1680 or a 1660 in midwest combine size ?
The old girl still gets it done. But the capacity falls a long way short of your machines. Hope your harvest went well. I know a few guys over your way didn't quite finish.
Always fun to watch the hillside combine level itself ! Until you have seen that part of the country you have no idea of the slopes . Are there still a combine or two that roll over every year ? Nice video
Thankfully its been a long time since I have heard of a combine rollover. While its still possible the longer wider stance of the newer machines makes rollover far less likely.
60+ on summer fallow wheat. TW 60lbs. Almost always grades 1. Protein varies, I don't raise much red wheat. The soft white runs around 9%. Dark Northern Spring has run as low as 12% but I've had it go has high as 15.9%. We live on the outer edge of some fantastic wheat country.
The theory as I understand it is the soil was blown in and the hills were cut when the Missoula floods came through scouring the valleys down to the basalt base.
I'm not sure. The machine is several miles away so I can't run and see but I think 5300 hours on separator and a little over 6000 on the engine. It was new in 1991. I'll check the next time I'm close.
I'm not sure I'd call you outside of the Palouse you got levelers on that combine and the Palouse guys are the only goofy bastard's that run those damn things! God you guys Farm some crazy-ass ground over there if my combine was running at a 45 degree angle it means I'm about to roll the hell over. Got to believe that you boys are rocking no till out there like we are here in The Dakotas with that much potential erosion from runoff with the uneven Terrain.
Ha,ha. Some steep ground out there for sure. No-till has made a big difference in our farming. If I'm not worried about soil washing away I can focus on building more of it. Thanks for stopping by.
Definitely not at yote that's a deer. First off a coyote would be highly unlikely to hold that tight roughly about 25 yards in a header when it went and the bounding action of the way it runs is without question that of a deer although it appears to possibly to be a whitetail which this looks like more like mule deer Country but hard to say for sure on species.
Wow... What a view it must be from the cab of the combine! I have flat ground that I farm in Central Illinois
Thanks for the upload! That landscape is amazing.

We don't don't know any better so we just keep going. lol Thanks for dropping by.
Vieni in Italia per vedere i terreni scomodi

Missed the 55's but got to run a 95H quite a bit growing up.
@@lifebehindacow5999 I really enjoy the "look back" here. I'm 69 years old and retired trucker now but still miss those days back then.
Is that winter or spring wheat?

It's a 1660 with a sub-frame added by the R.A.Hansen Company of Spokane Wa. that includes all of the leveling mechanism.
Nice! we run 2 8120's right outside of Pullman with 17% levers. those 1670 combines are nice to work on over these newer ones.
And im assuming you guys make protein from your wheat.

@@boostingarage4754 I don't raise much red wheat but when we plant dns it usually runs in the 15's
@@boostingarage4754 We get docked for too much protein in soft white wheat
Were specifically is this at
Cause my grandfather has a farm right outside of St.john 🤷♂️?
Hi Grant the water you see is Texas Lake and I was harvesting the hills to the south. We are about 11 miles southwest of Ewan. Thanks for watching.
I am roughly five miles west of your Grandfathers home.
@@lifebehindacow5999 gotcha thanks
Where is this beatiful panorama!
Good morning Elcio Sampaio. This is eastern Washington state, USA.

Great vid brother. Thank you.
Riding in a hillside combine during harvest in Eastern WA is on my bucket list.
Maryland Mike I think you might know someone with a hillside combine. You just need to find yourself in eastern Wa at the end of July.
@@lifebehindacow5999 Well, one of these July's i may have to visit your neck of the woods. Thank you.
That would be fun.
What does wheat like this yield in your area TW, Pro, Bu?
60+ on summer fallow wheat. TW 60lbs. Almost always grades 1. Protein varies, I don't raise much red wheat. The soft white runs around 9%. Dark Northern Spring has run as low as 12% but I've had it go has high as 15.9%. We live on the outer edge of some fantastic wheat country.
I wonder how those hills were formed?
The theory as I understand it is the soil was blown in and the hills were cut when the Missoula floods came through scouring the valleys down to the basalt base.
the view is so nice, could live there
Them angles!!!
Very cool.
Thank you.
Beautiful Farm I'm from Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil
How Many Hours has the combine ?

Loving your channel :)

Ran a R75 gleaner non leveling combine with duals that handled the hills just fine. This was between Palouse wa and Moscow id,some very steep ground.
Iowa boy myself only ever seen hills like that in books I'll stick with the flat land but I do like the video
The hills definitely add some challenges.
Anyone else see the coyote?
Definitely not at yote that's a deer.

Wuauh, my american dream!!!👍👍🇮🇹👋👋
