There's plenty of 18 percent slopes here. Ive got a buddy with 2 680s with hillcos and he always has something to weld on them. We have plenty of hills. Another good friend and his dad went from a side hill 9510 to a 670 without any leveling system because they didnt want the extra complexity of it. Again we have plenty of hills. I love the concept of a hillco kit, but I sure cant justify putting one with what it costs


Yep and I bet big hoppers and cowboy'n ditches too.... Have a large topper on my S670 Hillco holds more than factory S680.... And have welded one tilt cylinder end on in 7 seasons.... So it's carrying 25,000 in hopper and a 12row split-flex corn head or large draper... Preformace out weighs any and all issues... Complex??? Where??? Axle is forward for better balance on one piviot and two leveling cylinders... Rear axle is factory and face plate is changed to allow more travel... That's it... Total of adding 4 cylinders but removing some factory ones also.... Not saying they are a tank but I'll bet there's much less final drive fails and wheels broken with weight being equal on hillsides... IDK
