Charlie,  I'd like to see one in operation myself. I imagine they are 
self-leveling but can't help but wonder if some of the first ones were not. 
I wonder if they can level  any for going straight up or down hills? I've 
got a couple fields that you have to deal with going up or down a steep 
incline for a few rounds. I always slow the ground speed down since I know 
the straw is having more trouble exiting the machine when headed downhill. 
Nothing like having an almost full bin and heading downhill only to have the 
bin start running over.

Dave, I was up around North Wilksboro last summer and saw a field that had 
been cut for silage. It was undoubtedly the hilliest field I have ever seen 
cultivated. There is no way I'd have guts enough to to tow a chopper and a 
silage wagon on those hills. I've been involved in a couple situations where 
a way wagon behind a baler caused a runaway.
