Those were a couple exceptionally clean combines. I liked the L3 the best it still looked like new.

Looks like fun, I haven't run a combine for years. Massey Harris ,Super 92 ,or JD 55. I always wanted to go out with a custom combine crew ,but I never did. 😊

Best summer job I ever had was working on a custom harvest crew. We'd leave our hometown in the OK Panhandle the day after school was out and go to Frederick, OK, then back to our hometown, Hooker, OK and be in Burlington, CO by 4th of July. We liked Burlington because it was cooler and cooled off at night. We had Gleaner C-IIs and Gs.

great looking combines

I think so too!

Nice video. The head on the R62 sounds like the cross auger in-feed finger guide cam and followers could use some TLC. Lots of clanging from it.

@@nielsdybro9759 I was thinking the same thing. It sounded pretty loud, but I wasn’t sure if it was that, or the way the microphone was picking it up..really sensitive. I once rebuilt a pick up reel that sounded similar on one of mine.

Grew up running a ‘58 A Gleaner in central Ks. Dad eventually bought a JD 95. Looks like good wheat.

Best we’ve had in this area in years.

I use to work for allis chalmers and mostly worked on gleaner combines. Have been on many harvests with the combines that were in testing. The L series in my opinion was the best combine gleaner has made 😊

I’m with you.

Gleaner makes a really good combine. In my area they were the rule. We had some neighbors that had Oliver. Man that R62 is makin a banging noise. The straw must be a little tough.

It’s the header making that noise.

Always enjoyed running those L series. Sometimes regret selling that last one but it just couldn't handle 8 rows of modern corn production. Then came R60, and now running stripper headers in cereal on 8780xp Massey and A86 Silver Massey. Great video!

TT, I like the older un styled L series better. I would bet the newer machines have much better capacity and technology. Nice video, Boe

It truly is. Nicest one I’ve been near.

Those Gleaner L's still getter done! They had 40% of the combine market back in their day. Hell of a good wheat crop, here at Diller Ne I didn't have any but the neighbors 2 fields made 86 and 90bu/acre.

You need a 24 ft head for the 860 and show the old L3 who’s the boss of the early 80’s wheat fields.

Have told the story about the silver seeder? My custom harvester neighbor got home from wheat harvest , told me this. A fellow wanted to be a custom harvester , he bought gleaner combine. Ask a farmer can I help you harvest? The farmer said yes! The fellow made a round the field. The farmer got on the combine looked in the grain bin , ask the fellow this. Did you adjust this combine? The fellow said this I have to adjust it!!! (Cylinder concave machines) Show this to the people running the combines!!!!

Good wheat is always easier to harvest than wheat that has been hailed on or was sparse. Really hated cutting wheat that was laid down.
