Grew up with an E, real clean cutting K and eventually had an F corn soybean special. Cut a lot of fescue with them.
I have only just seen this video. We celebrated 100 year of Gleaner here in the UK last summer. We cut 10 acres of barley with 4 Gleaners. 1960 model A, 1962 C, 1964 A Super and 1966, Super A. All these machines are basically the same as American A, C or A2, C2 machines with slight modifications to suit our different crop conditions. Also they are Allis orange here. Just painted over the galvanised body work. Sold as Allis products. Unfortunately Allis pulled out of the Uk in 1970. Unfortunately Gleaners no longer sold here. They are my favourite combines for sure
Love them thats all we run here in Queensland Australia
Great video HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLEANER
Still no update to the lower and upper feed drum shaft I see. Gave 1 to Todd Davis hoping yall would improve the diameter or material used.
You work so hard to build your dreams!
I can’t believe that Gleaner has Quit making a 6 Row Corn Head! That is a decent amount of their Customer Base is Smaller more Mid Size Operations than John Deere and CNH have. That is a decent amount of the S96 & 800/900 Single Tire Customers are running a 6 Row Corn Head. Gleaner Offering a Class 6 Combine along with a 6 Row Corn Head & a 25/30’ Platform Will separate it from JD & CNH.
Glad they went back to square nose gathering chains. Rounds dont pick up and move down corn near as well
Great video. I had no idea there was so much communication between producers, engineering and those in the factory that brought the ideas together.
Good to see that AGCO is promoting the Gleaner but the opinions remain that if it had not been for the hard work and tenacity of Kevin Bien along with the vocal loyalty of Gleaner owners, the past leadership at AGCO would have quietly let the Gleaner die. Do Gleaner owners dare trust the company now considering what recently happened to the Massey and Challenger combines?
So you have to mess with 2 pins to fold the snout up to move it down the road on a header cart?
1 pin and a gas shock T-rod to hold snout in transport. No biggie.
@@robratcliffe5635gotcha
Where can I purchase the full video that was shown in Fargo at the theatre? My family ran Gleaners for 60+ years 🥰
Thank you for being dedicated to our great machine. There really isn't anywhere to purchase it at this point. If you like, I could send you a digital copy.
@@GleanerCombinesTVcould you post the full version? I would love to see it. We have had a few L models and many since. As long as we can still get parts we will keep running gleaners. No need to switch when every other harvester is getting harder and harder to work on with every new model that comes out. Simplicity and less down time is what keeps everyone coming back. Just wish there was more dealers but can’t complain
Nice video with one exception, the interview with quote “gleaner combine under the massey ferguson umbrella” That made the hair stand up on my back. Massey went broke in the 80’s and for good reason. Its Agco, now bring back your corporate branded tractors!!
We have a 9250. Cuts beautifully. We really like ours.
Still not a rice combine
So there are machine settings that must either be made while standing next to the header with the machine running at full speed or on a trial and basis repeatedly starting and stopping it to "dial in" upper auger speed? And I have to "calculate the difference" between and manually adjust voltages of header height sensors and "eyeball" header height level so that "automated" system functions properly? It has no ability to self-calibrate? Holy shit no wonder Gleaner owners that "love the combines" end up buying Brand X "bean heads".
The top auger speed ratio is set during setup of the header when first installed. It's really never touched again during operation. Setting the header to the correct header height position is done as a rule of thumb for the optimal performance. If you'll watch the video about Calibrating The Automatic Header Control you'll see the calibration of the sensors is fully automated and only requires the operator to start the calibration. Every brand of head is going to require setup and adjustments to get optimal performance.
What's the yield average? How much header loss? The "drop pan" is a joke as far as MEASURING loss vs. "calculating" it. And lets see the "tank sample". What FM? Moisture? Test weight? Damage? Any unthreshed pods and/or "baby beans" make it out of that "cleaner"? That "drop pan" test proves ALL the loss is "machine loss" since both pre-harvest and header loss are left out. And "less than one fifth of a bushel per acre" is the BEST CASE SCENARIO. In those "field conditions" blowing AT least 1/5 bushels to the acre per FIVE FEET of "machine width" (5 feet of pan can't catch residue from dozens of feet of spreader width) is completely unacceptable for a "modern" combine in "mint condition" in a "test plot". Gleaner "rotary" combines are shit in dirty crops. Always have been always will be. They are "cleaner" for that very reason. Which is why Gleaner doesn't even make a real flex head and never has.
Want to see the "history" of Gleaner - i.e the 1970s and L2s and such - break out the carousel projector. Same goes with the NH, MF and IH competition. Want to see the "history" of the JD "competition" from the same era - i.e. Go drive back roads in "rural America" and eventually you'll find a 6600 or 7700 still running. And even a conventional 60-series is as "old school" as far as the machine's "guts". And of course EVERY rotary "innovation" from twin-rotor NHs to axial-rotor IHs to cross-rotor Gleaners was originally "innovated" by JD during "development" of the Titan (20-series) combines when Deere went actively looking for a "better way" than threshing machine technology and experimented with every rotor "configuration" imaginable including those "competitors" back when there WERE NO ROTARIES AND EVERY COMBINE WAS A "CONVENTIONAL" up to and including far out concepts like rotors in the header and feederhouse. And every configuration made it to the "proof of concept" stage before Deere determined the only legit iprovements possible were to the grain and residue handling systems. Turret unloading augers, straw choppers etc. Then Deere PUBLISHED all that "R&D" and all of a sudden almost all the "competition" had "innovative" and "new" rotaries. And every one of them lost "market share" to Deere because with the horsepower and technology available then conventionals were still the BEST "general purpose" combines. The problem was none of the "competition" had true heavy-duty off-highway engines and the hydraulic and hydrostatic and construction equipment and expertise to build true high-capacity - i.e. 8-12 row - "corn and soybean" combines to "compete".
Could you maybe “use quotations” a little bit more in your next “comment” please?
We love ours.
Most hated, most laughed at, best designed combine in the world. We love ours. Capacity, reliability, simplicity, efficiency, affordability. Keep your other combine, I'll run a Gleaner.
We run a S78 , excellant machine, Gleaner forever!
I can't believe Jerry Schmitt at 6:14. He and I began as interns the same time in June 1967. I returned to college to finish my last term, then returned to Gleaner in January 1968. Jerry continued as he was going to Rockhurst College in Kansas City, near the plant in Independence. So much left out that I lived through - the 635 prototype that lead to the L (635 was one walker wider, too large for transport at the time), J Lyle Shaver, developer of the Gleaner Rotary, Gene Allen who was asked to develop a small combine for small farmers and came up with the E in a very short time. And most importantly Paul Ratliff who saved Gleaner from oblivion. Deutz told the SAE conference in Moline, IL, that Deutz hadn't realized how much money they could lose trying to buy into the North American market and wanted to do anything to get out, were looking for a sucker. Paul told us Deutz had no future, get our resumés up to date, so I left. Then Paul Ratliff got 4 colleagues together, bought out Deutz-Allis and the rest is history. We went from 161 people in engineering in 1981 and were down to 19 when I left in 1989.
Love our Gleaner combine. Absolute fuckin weapon! Ruthless!
Still ain’t showing one in a rice field. I’d you want to impress me you’ll have to put one in a rice field.
Love this Video. Gleaner is the Best Brand on the Market.
Awesome a red tipped unloading auger nothing like attention to detail lol see 1:47 👀 maybe a Massey unloading auger.
No, grain cart auger.
@@gleanerman2195 perhaps
Yeah, look close it’s the grain cart unloading into a black trailer.
Happy birthday to the best combines in the world happy birthday GLEANER
5 generations have ran Gleaners on our farm. I sure hope that another 5 can do the same thing. Maybe work on getting the wheels to stay on them for 2024 though? 😂
Streator, IL farmer featured.....I was born in Streator! Great job Gleaner!
12:20.. 3 guys? maybe the front office hasn't heard of robotic welding yet..
100+ years of quality, commitment to exellence and most importanly, customer satisfaction. Thank you Gleaner, happy birthday. May the next 100 years be just the begining.
100 years of the silver seeder! Congrats!
Happy 100th birthday Gleaner!!! Congratulations on the outstanding documentary video .,. I loved it 😂. Aaron B, you are doing an outstanding job carrying forward the great traditions of being customer focused ... continue that VOC! It made me smile to see Jerry Schmitt again! Thank you to to the whole Gleaner team for all that you have accomplished and for all that you will continue to do to ensure another successful 100 years!! Gleaner has been and always will be a passion of mine!!!
Hey Garry - Was just thinking of you while going through pictures testing spreaders on the N6 & N7 back in the early 1980's. MikeEnzmann
Enzmann, great to hear from you. I think about my time there often and miss the people like you, the product and the customers! Would love to catch up with you but not sure how to do that outside of KZread. Any ideas?
@@garrybusboom9074 It's tough as everyone is spread around the country. Lyle Shaver still lives in the same home and I had coffee with him the day before Thanksgiving when we visited family in the area. He said only Dave Johnston and Dave Cook live in the area of the people we worked with. I've heard from a farmer putting together a Gleaner history who has talked to several of the engineers of our era. He found me through Facebook.
Happy Birthday, Gleaner! So glad to see your marketing folks out and about, telling the story and history of the past 100 years. Not a lot of brands can do that. Congratulations!
19:08 "Under the M-F umbrella"? "Gleaner by Massey" coming soon or something? Also is AGCO still mad at Independence Missouri? No mention of the fact they were made there for the majority of their production. I guess, like AGCO and dealers, I was expecting more, more of a documentary here.
Hope it doesnt become a gleaner by fendt or MF or i wont buy any more
@cummins595959 if they were smart they'd build off Gleaners success and drop the other two lines.
@@HeWhoRoamsAimlessly well massey domt make combine in NA but gleaner is only a NA brand so i see why they have ideal to sell globely
@@cummins595959 Gleaner SHOULD be globally
Last time I drove by the plant, probably 2018, a decaying series of original plant with additions over the years. Very sad for me - 22 years of my career spent there. Would have liked to have stayed while Paul Ratliff bought but an outfit in red paint paid me double to leave.
Gleaner has always been in our family, dad had a G with 4 row head when we were kids and when my brothers and I started farming, we had an L2 . Today, we are running an R87 with 12 row head. Robinson Implement (Irwin Iowa)is our dealer , and you will not find a better group of guys, owner Lenny and sons Lane and Luke are, simply the best!
The gleaner brand has always fascinated me. It’s my favorite brand of combine to see in the field.
Cage sweep headache check it everyday ! But double sickle what speed do you want too run ?
so interesting video you could sell more if there were more dealer
when are going build bigger combine interesting video
How are these machines not big enough? They have tons of capacity and put more money in the owners pocket than any other machine. Physical size doesn't always win
@@daehlerfarms So is said about the L series, but he does have a point with wanting more capacity, especially compared to others anymore. Efficiency doesn't matter if your crop gets totaled while waiting for the machine to get to it.
@J-1410 crop can be totaled while its still growing too, thats farming. Maybe large farmer could let a smaller farm be able to grow if they ran more efficient machines, wouldn't have to have as many acrse to have same return. But everyone is so dam greedy, they think they got to have it all.
@@daehlerfarms Not all of us are in Iowa, here on the high plains your wheat average is 30 bushel, soybeans run 5, yes 5, corn is under 100 and has no market, barley runs under 30 and no longer has a market, except for seed. Canola has a market-4 hours away, if they're not full and if your swaths didn't blow away. You can't live on an 80 here, you never could, even in 1912. They homesteaded it in sections, later multiple sections. 8 hours east you had the Bonanza farms, so today's western farms of similar size are nothing new. No amount of "small farms" will ever happen here again unless wheat goes over $20 and fertilizer stays put. Our diesel is 75 cents more than Iowa on average and our dry fertilizer is almost double. Anhydrous is dead, has been for a while due to safety and cost, liquid never existed here. So, with declining small grains prices, increasing diesel and fertilizer, it means smaller profits, which means you have to cover more ground, its not a choice, especially at since all equipment is insanely priced anymore. Yes Gleaners are efficient, but they're small in capacity anymore compared to everyone else. We can't find people to run trucks at any price, even the oil fields can't, how are you going to get more to run more machines?
@@J-1410 an S98 with a 45ft draper is hardly a small combine lol.
So you have to change the Reel hose and the back Shiv bolts to go back and forth from Corn and Beans???
Correct. When changing from corn to soybeans, you will slow the header down the the slowest speed, move a quick disconnect from a fitting on the feeder house to the single point connector, loosen three bolts with a 3/4 in. wrench, move the lockout ring, then tighten the three bolts. Vice versa when going the other way. Takes a lot less time than you would think.
It’s a piece of cake on my R-62. I imagine it’s the same on the S series.
@@jordanellis8572 it’s a Piece of Cake on my S670 hit the button and you are off to the Race.
Love the history with these combines
So whats coming next
Stay tuned! ;)
@GleanerCombinesTV been hearing thag for years now.
@@user-jl1uc9nl8w haha yea keep talking about something but just falling behind everyone else
Curious to know what the twin rotor setup on the jig is all about? I seen it in the foreground during the in-cab commentary. Can anyone elaborate?
That is a display Fendt uses to show the components of the processor in the IDEAL combine. It includes the rotors and the cleaning shoe.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
The orange is so fucking good. 🔥 🤟 #itsgottabegleaner
Besides that auger design🤣🤮🤮
What about it?
Simple. Fast. Efficient. Best auger design in the business.
No one is smart enough to duplicate it.@@HeWhoRoamsAimlessly
Cheers to the group of people that made the video, well done. Go Gleaner!
