i rode on several combines in the Palouse region in 2016. I always wanted to see the area. I spent the summer in Spokane in my rv and made rounds to different fields during harvest near Pullman, St. Johns, WA. Just stopped and talked to the guy in the waiting grain truck and asked if I could take some pictures. Next thing he’s asking if I want to ride on one…uh, yes please. Every bit as steep as it looks here and scary when they start to slip sideways. And to all you armchair quarterbacks from KS and Iowa commenting here who are such experts on tires and header width, well I think the guys that farm there know a thing or two about it and you may want to defer to their expertise. Just be on the side of one of those hills with over 300 bushels in the tank and get yourself turned around without rolling your machine down the hill. This isn’t like harvesting beans or corn in Iowa, thats childs play, this is some extreme combining. So if dual diamond tread tires and 40’ headers work for them I think they know what they’re doing.
Hi Terrence. Glad you had the opportunity to experience harvest in the hills of Eastern Washington. Photos & video just don’t capture the full extent of the hills.
I drive combines several years, but I must say that your work is really impresive!!!!! incredible as it slides sideways machine!!! where is this place?
The R3 "Diamond tread" tires seem to be the most universal design in our hillside terrain. We've found that diamond tread is good in most fields and best in steep, soft ground. The R1 "Tractor tread" is better suited to harder ground.
Eh be, cercano di fare sempre più veloci, con barre più grandi, mietitrebbie più grandi, auto livellamenti migliori....... Se non mi sbaglio quella new holland avrà sicuramente l'autolivellamento HILCO che lo montano anche ai Case e John Deere.
In terrain like this, do you do any harvesting at night? I'd think it's be too risky, that you'd want to be able to see what's up ahead but may be wrong.
In our area we must have a leveling combine to harvest crops on our steep hills. The leveling system is manufactured by Hillco Technologies, Inc. and is not a factory New Holland attachment. Thanks for your comment.
Thomas, this was the first full day the customer had operated his new combine as he was getting used to the large, 40ft header, In addition, the ground was steep and soft which adds a certain degree of difficulty when operating a combine. I appreciate your comment.
Thanks I appreciate your reply. Id like to make it out that way sometime and see hillside farming for myself. We don't have hills near as big as that here in north missouri.
I dont disagree,you know better but that tires seems to me like slick and in this fields i think the tractor is better...the tire has to grab the groud thats why i tel the tractor will be better.
There ia a time for speed an time to slow down! As others said smaller header neededd maybe.All in all was poor job with much wheat lost. Drive training might be appropiate
martin jeffery tires choices vary depending on soil type and terrain. In this case the R3 diamond tread tires have been found to be the most universal. Regarding header size, it is necessary to have a large enough header to keep the machine full as the steep terrain limits ground speed. As for yield the video was shot in a light area of the field simply because of wind direction. Is it worth it? Yes.

The driver has earned his money there that's for sure.
Very skilled driver,great vid
Mad, mad, mad! I used to be a fisherman and wouldn't have gone to sea when it was as rough as that!
Javier, this is in the S.E. area of Washington state near the town of Walla Walla.

We usually don't harvest at night mainly because the wheat becomes tough or difficult to thresh.
Looks like a lot of "side slip" with those tires on the slick wheat stubble. The header looks too big for the area too.
the land of the jake brake on the grain cart tractors and real brakes on the carts

Doug Roquet how do you spray those hills seems like that would be more of a problem
Shocking video!!!! Da vedere

Sliding sideways looks cool but its a sign that the machine is to heavy and on the wrong tyres

Do those hillcos come with brass balls? I hate when I start to slide, and our hills aren't nearly that big, just a few steep spots.
You get used to the hills and learn to cut the fields with consideration for the terrain.
How come is leveling combine?, New holland has no leveling of these models, only the models CX5000-CX6000. At least here in Spain.

why you are using this type of tires and not "tractor" tires??
Squeaky bum time at 10.50 big slide
I don't know much about hillside farming, but it looks like he misses a lot of wheat.

I understand and would enjoy showing you our farming conditions.

Bad tyre decision, header to big ,yield looks really poor .Is it worth it ?
