| I was recently looking at 6620 and 7720 combines and saw the 6622 and 7722 combines advertised. I have never heard of these models before. Are these machines made for specific crops and different in some way than a regular combine? They were both over in Washington if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Nick |

South Central NC | 6622 & 7722 are pull type combines. |
|
| |
|
| Actually the pull types were 7721's, the sidehills were 7722's |

EC Kansas | The 6622 is the hillside 6620 used in the Palouse and steep hills for dryland wheat in the Pacific Northwest and some California dryland areas.
The 6602 was the hillside version of the 6600. The 7722 may the pull type model. |

|
Statesville, NC | Actually the xx22 were hillside machines. Sidehill machines had the regular numbers and were for corn country, and could run moderate hills, not the extremes like the hillside machines. |

Correct, I have a 7721 pull type.
But lets not forget the smaller 6601 pull type either. |

Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND | I thought I remembered JD 66-77 pull type combines where the PTO drive model was a 01 and a pull type machine with it's own engine was a 02. Anyone remember or can correct those numbers ?

| 6600,6620 machines were offered as sidehill models,up to ????25%slope,6602,6622,were made to do 45%slopes such as out west in washington st. Later on in ???1986or1987 deere offered a hi capacity 7722 for 45%slopes.The 9500 was also a sidehill machine but was similar too the 6620,6600 sidehill machines,from that point forward deere stopped sidehill or hillside machines and left it up too hillco,and rahco to add there mods. to a standard deere machine. As far as pull types you could start with a 42 which was a 45 but pulltype with engine or pto,same for the 96 which was the same sep.as a95 and could be engine or pto driven.hope this helps you!!!!! |

Sunburst Montana | The 42 was a pull type version of the 40 with only a pto. 65 could have an engine or pto. 96 and 106 were only pto drive. |

Modena, Wisconsin | Deere continued sidehill machines from the factory up to the 9560. |

Northern Idaho | Just some more info about the hillside combines in general. The 6602 (1971-79) 6622 (1980-1985) and 7722(1986-89) all leveled to 45%. The earlier models were made by JD but the 7722s were actually sent to Spokane, WA and rahco put the levelers on and they look more like the 1470/1670 CIH levelers. Rahco also made 9632 combines up until at least the year 2000 which leveled to 44%. All these levelers kept the wheels vertical and so no duals could not be used and diamond or "plus" tread tires were used for best traction. Now days hillco makes a 27% leveler and rahco makes a 35% leveler for all the sts combines but they do not keep the tires vertical like the older machines and it is a cheaper bolt on leveler. The JD sidehill combines only level to 18%.
A 6622 compared to a 6620 level land or sidehill has more horsepower, wider spacing between tires, and is taller off the ground to accommodate the full leveling.
Here are two pics of our 6622s and then some pics from the nearby john deere dealer taken this winter. That second dealer pic is a 7722 front shot.

E Washington | deerefever is real close and I will throw one minute detail into the discussion. RAHCO built and installed the 7722 levelers at the plant here in Spokane close to the time they did same for the IH 1670 hillside combines. I drove by a few times when the yard was FULL of green, quite a impressive sight at the time. The last JD levelers with that style of swing arm axle went on the 9600, badged by Deere as 9632. There is an outfit near here that will rebuild a IH1470 leveler and install it on a XX88, giving it at or at least close to 48% leveling. |

E Washington | Hello NIF, thanks for the 9610 piccy. THAT must have been the end of the 32 conversion then? I read the outfit that took over Hanson was still building some levelers but not the steep one. Is that correct? How is the ground holding up there?--saw some nasty runoff near Rosalia the other day. |

|
Modena, Wisconsin | RAHCO is now Acculevel and they still build a 35% kit.

Northern Idaho | Bleedinred- I actually saw a 2000 model 9650 walker advertised with a 32 series rahco leveler so I am thinking they did a few on special order of the early 50 series. I could easily be wrong though, I know they built a few for the 9610s but not many.
As gunner mentioned acculevel is who took over rahco and they build a 35% leveler for the new combines but is not as common as the hillco.
The ground is holding very well on our place, it is cold and wet for sure though. Some nasty runoff in other areas.
Your should post some of your farming pics on this forum when you get a chance. I am sure people would like to see those shots of the three combines cutting together and some of the challenger and D5 as well. |
