…you are all too familiar with the challenges: unstable combines, limited on-the-go unloading, and grain loss from uneven distribution. That’s exactly why Iowa-based grower Jeremy Muff swears by Hillco Leveling Systems– a gamechanger for hillside agriculture.

The Solution

Stability + Efficiency = Hillco

Hillco Leveling Systems have both automatic and manual leveling options to keep your combine level, safe, and efficient on steep hillsides. This not only prevents grain loss but also allows continuous, on-the-go unloading, regardless of slope.

"Every time your grain cart is on the downhill side and you can't dump on the go, you’re wasting minutes. Those minutes turn into hours…. With Hillco, we just get a lot more done in a day."
Jeremy Muff
Owner/Operator

The Savings

Productivity: Continuous operation saves hours each day.

Grain Savings: Prevents grain throw from uneven leveling.

Operator Comfort: Less physical strain from navigating steep slopes all day.

The Proof: 5,000+ Acres & Six Years Strong

“You’re out here 12 to 14 hours a day. It’s nice to take some stress off. It just makes everything easier.”

Jeremy’s operation spans over 5,000 acres of hill ground- and they’ve used Hillco Leveling Systems exclusively for six years with zero breakdowns.

When demoing new equipment like the X9 combine, Hillco is non-negotiable:

“If it doesn’t have Hillco, it’s not an option.”

Ready To Level Up?

Don’t let steep slopes slow you down or cut into your yield. Hillco Leveling Systems deliver stability, efficiency, and long-term savings—trusted by serious farmers across the Midwest.
