    That's actually smart to have the ladder up! No more bending in mud, but I suppose to be mindful of obstacles. Does that ladder fold straight up all the way? I always appreciate that you don't have music during your drone shots... thanks for taking raw recorded audio from the machine at work instead!

    Yes the ladder can go straight up. If you watch the inside cab shot I showed looking out at the ladder you can see it’s all the way up. Have the latter horizontal or all the way up also keeps the ladder from knocking ears of corn off on the unharvested row.

    Empty weight of the combine as stated is 31,000+ no light weight like the old F and F2's. We had a F with 23.1 on the drivers. One year we ended up going to 28.1 rice tires on the drivers, putting a mud hog on the rear, put a turbo of the 301 diesel engine off a 190XT, turned up the pump. That was a combine that would almost float on water.

    Mike you are right about the snow. But 10 degrees Fahrenheit is the magic number. 10 degrees Fahrenheit or lower the snow will blow through the machine without sticking to the inside of it. It warms up to 11 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer and you will start plugging your sieves and everything else. Then you park in a heated shop overnight and steam power wash the inside of the machine out. Been there and done that lol.

    The pivot auger is a Gleaner standard for several generations. Of course this new auger at 4.0 bu per second can really move out some grain. A John Deere S690/790 unloads at 3.8 bu per second. The Gleaner turret auger was an option for the C62, latter R72/R62, R75/R65 and R76/R66. The S series has only Ben available with a pivot auger.

    Good question. As Gleanerman said the combines computer will indicate the loss, you will also see the grain on the ground and most likely you will heat and feel the combine working differently. Think about mowing the lawn in wet grass you can feel the mower deck sound different if wet grass starts to clog it and the engine starts sounding different. Thank you for watching and asking.

I remember seeing an IH 915 harvesting corn on one side of the field and a 1086, 1066 and 686 working on tillage and planting on the other side of the field. Too bad their won’t drones and digital cameras back then.

It is like a large washing machine spinning the crop material around a grate that strips the corn from the cob and pushing the grain through the grated holes that feed into the bin and the rest of the material back in the field. There is little space in this area to force the grain from the cob.

    The replies are pretty good. I would add the front drive wheel carries the most weight and the tracks help with traction and flotation up front. The rear wheel is often 4wd and adds extra power to pull. There are rear track kits but steering may be wider in the turns and upkeep on the rear track unit more. Tracks also add $50-$70K to the cost of the combine with the front set. A rear set would be even more of an extra cost.

    Well they are significantly lighter than other combines and they will help them stay afloat better in mud. Never needing tracks would be hard to say because some time tires just won’t give you the traction you need. Tracks or tires in mud a Gleaner will not sink in as deep as a big Axial style combine and as a result not leave super deep ruts. I have a friend with a John Deere 9860STS that ends up many years harvesting in snow and mud who is seriously looking at Gleaner next time simply because it is lighter. He runs super floater tires on the 9860 but still get stuck from the weight of the combine.
