2000 Series Features

FEATURES



Operator Ladder	No Modification	Bi-Fold Retractable
	The heart of every Hillco Leveling System

Overcarriage Undercarriage	We didn't try to reinvent the combine's drive system - we just moved it. The transmission to final drive power train on most leveling combines is complex and expensive. The 2000 Series system moves the original, reliable, transmission-to-final-drive assembly from the combine's main axle down to the 2000 Series' leveling undercarriage. There are no extra or non-stock drive train parts, and the results are impressive. This efficient and reliable design keeps the tread face of the tires flat on the ground for increased traction and stability. You can even equip this leveling system with dual drive tires for the ultimate in stability and flotation.

STS Hillside

	No Cables!

Hydraulic Header Control	Today’s wider headers demand a better header control solution than yesterday’s cables and pulleys. Hillco Leveling Systems are equipped with an advanced master/slave hydraulic circuit that coordinates rotation between the combine chassis, header, and ground to deliver the ultimate in ground hugging performance. Equip your header with Contour Master sensors and enjoy the superb performance of fully automated lateral tilt and height control. Manual override, at the touch of a finger, overrides header tilt to take care of those nasty terraces and other unusual ground contours and it works great for tight maneuvering through gates and bridges.

	A Voracious Appetite

Full-Flow Feeding System	Every Hillco leveling system is equipped with a crop feeding system that ensures maximum throughput. Whether it’s green, viney crops and weeds or short slick straw conditions, Hillco Leveling Systems deliver the capacity you expect from your STS combine.

	Smooth yet Responsive

Electronic Slope Control	Select the automatic mode and the Hillco Leveling System’s state-of-the-art electronic slope sensor and module provide the ultimate in slope compensation performance. Digital programmable technology delivers infinitely variable speed control that is smooth yet responsive. This electronic control system is environmentally sealed to provide years of trouble free service. In both auto and manual mode, the operator can manually control the tilt of the combine chassis with the touch of a finger for tasks such as controlling unloading auger height.

	Nothin’ Fancy

Rear Drop Axle	To level a combine you must first raise it. That’s the job of the drop axle assembly. This bolt-on component sandwiches between the combine’s main frame and rear axle to balance the combine fore and aft after installation of the carriage system. After installation of the Hillco Leveling System the STS will be slightly shorter than a John Deere Sidehill combine.

	Powerful AND Efficient

Hydraulic System	Powerful yet Efficient – The Leveling Systems hydraulic circuit is integrated into the combine’s hydraulic system for ease of maintenance and reliability. Carefully engineered to maximize performance and minimize horsepower consumption, both the sidehill and hillside leveling systems deliver loads of power and speed to keep your STS combine agile and responsive in the steepest hillside terrain.

"By keeping my combine level my productivity has increased 50% plus, not to mention the added operator comfort. Leveling under load was not a problem… and it leveled faster than my 9500 Sidehill combine. The 2000 Series Leveling System is very well built. It surpassed my expectations and Hillco is very supportive of their products. They don’t just sell them and walk away, they back them up with technical support."

"For many years we used the JD 6622 combine in the steep and soft Sky Rocket hills, north of Prescott, Washington. This past year we were extremely impressed with the performance of our Hillco leveler on our JD 9750 STS combine. The Hillco leveler was the most economical leveler option and performed flawlessly. We were very satisfied."
