Great testimonial about the Gleaner combine. The advent of the rotary Gleaner in 1979 was a major event. Everyone in the industry took notice of the revolutionary transverse rotor.
Awesome video again Kendal Those cows/calves are looking awesome That was a nice history of all you're Combines and why you run them Darryl and your right you run the ones that works best for you and i think the fact that you can do your own repairs is awesome Really enjoyed the video as always Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮
Thanks for the video. Great problem to have when your trucks can’t keep up! Happy for you that harvest is rolling right along. Enjoyed the combine discussion.
I am a subscriber because of the Gleaner combines. Have run an R75 myself years ago. Currently have an MF rotary and it works well for my small operation. Many like to bad mouth AGCO but you don't know if parts or service is available when you never need any. People that run other brands need a lot of hand holding. Don't understand why Gleaner are not more plentiful, but I heard they could have sold more last year if they had built more. Local dealer has been good to me so I can't complain. Also run an AC 8070 and that unit has been good as well.
My grandfather always ran Gleaners form the late 50's to retirement in early 80's. Excellent mechanic but they always seem to run. You seem to have fewer problems than the newer Gr$$n ones. They seem to have to replace so many sensors. So many are a real pain to work on.
I think a lot of things built after the chip fans were shut down are going to have issues with chips for awhile. Lots of counterfeit chips were floating around.
Great video...calves sure look nice...and yes all combines have breakdowns...I know are busy but if get chance watch Ivers Farms brand new red combine blows hydraulic hose in engine compartment then has bearing go out of clean grain the 1st day of corn harvest.
Hello from North Dakota good video our wheat harvest is dragging on for ever always raining Our Gleaners have been having a rough year but we keep plugging on The R75 with updates has been a great help
Grew up in and L2 corn plus. Easily the lowest cost combine to operate I've ever been around. Covered a lot of acres with it. I just wish agco made an orange tractor to match the gleaner combines.
We’ve had CaseIH combines since trading off our L2 in about 1997. Before the L2, my dad had a C2 and an A2. I’m interested in getting back into an S series Gleaner. I have a few questions about them. How well does the rock trap work? How good do they work in green stem soybeans? What is the highest wear area on the machine? Is the Sisu engine a good engine? They sure look like a simple machine to work on. Hopefully I could do most of the repairs myself. Thanks, I enjoy your videos.
The rock has worked great for us. Last year, we had to clean it out every day. I can't answer how it works in green stem soybeans. Darryl might be better with that one. Highest wear is chopper blades. Feeder chains, return/ clean grain chains, rub bars and concaves in thinking are good for roughly 1000 hours, depends what crops you do. Sisu is unreal on fuel, I think we use roughly 12g/h. We've never had an issue with the motor and we have a lot of them on our farm. The only thing I feel I couldn't fix on them is computer stuff and we have had next to no issues with that. Hope that helps.
I will agree with kendal on almost everything. I don't want to mislead though. Our older S77 with the 6 gylinder sisu ran from 11-14 gallons/hour. In the S98 we currently run they have a 7 yes 7 cylinder sisu motor in them. They are running more like 14-17 gallons/hour maybe as high as 18 but that would be rare. Gallons /bushel would be similar but I just want to clarify that. Stone trap works much better then the old stone door that older models have. When doing crops close to rhe ground we just empty every day to try and avoid problems. Also working with agco on upgraded chopper blades as that is a yearly( for us ) flip/repair.
We used to have quite a few Gleaners running in our area. Our neighbor never ran any other brand of combine but Gleaner until he retired. Now though we don't have any. I don't think anybody has anything against them, it's just that there are no dealers in this area. I have heard there is going to be one coming sooner or later. If it does it will be interesting to see how many will show up in the fields.
When cutting spring wheat what does monitor typically show for bph while harvesting? I get that it doesn’t equate to actual bushels leaving field. I run a 760 claas and a 9870 deere. Looking at gleaner as 9870 getting up there. I’m just down by minot and we run same crops as you basically. Want a gleaner for the simplicity, losses and capacity if it’s there. Lot of snow down here hope you boys got done. I know we are not.
I would have to figure it out but I believe we were doing 12-15 acres an hour per combine at 77 bu/ac, that was on clean fields, we had a couple fields with lots of grass under growth that slowed us down.
There is a few tricks we have learned over the years that have helped us do canola better. Straight cutting is a game changer but if you want to swath a variable speed feeder house helps. We noticed our chains actually ran slower then most competitors so after we sped them up to match other feeder chains our problems drastically reduced
We have no issues with cutting canola, we run our 50 foot honey bee or we swath and lay a 30 foot swath, we have been toying with the idea of a 36 foot swather.
I won't get into details on sample in that hopper video as they will be nothing short of excuses by an operator. Please know my sample is normally better. I struggle with clean sample the most when moisture of wheat is 16%-18%. Settings we use. Filler plates on concave. Concave clearance .1, rotor speed 850 RPM (fast as can go). Fan setting is at 4. Top chauffer is set to 20 and bottom sieve at 10.
Fellow manitoba gleaner guys. Its really a no brainer when you open your eyes. Simple, sample, loss, reliability

The rotary and the best grain saving design, in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing.🐂

We had a 8070, I do miss the orange
Great looking herd, nice and healthy. Be well stay safe.
Well Said!
Good looking cattle
Like your opinion on your machines. Thank You 😊

That's too bad, too buy a new machine and have that happen would be frustrating
Nice looking cows and calves. It’s a good problem to have when you start running out of storage space. Good explanation on the Gleaner.👍❤️🇨🇦
Hello from North Dakota good video our wheat harvest is dragging on for ever always raining
Our Gleaners have been having a rough year but we keep plugging on
The R75 with updates has been a great help
What kinda issues with the combines?
Header clutch bearing that wrecked the Armature
alternator pulley which is a cummins part
just little things that tie up time looking for parts

Yep I love the orange

Yep that's been a problem for Gleaners, short on dealers. We have been fortunate to have a couple great dealers.
If it’s cured bale with dew on doesn’t matter if it tests higher in moisture as long as it’s cured all ready
Thank you, I'm slowly learning this baling gig.

GLEANER Are the most easiest combine to work on and can be set to have the cleanest sample. NOTHING CLEANER THAN A GLEANER
Have you guys seen the new Black and Silver massy tractors.
I always thought the r72 air cooled engines sounded like a helicopter.
WHAT ? The Deutz air cooled were fuel efficient and sounded like any other motor
Could hear them running from a mile away
Im in the market for a newer combine. These silver ones have me interested but im worried how the narrow feederhouse will handle a heavy canola swath.

i see a lot of white caps we have the same issue with our R75 and R72 how do you run your rotor speed and concave and sieve at
just trying to learn

Not much more you can do maybe tighten the bottom sieve some more
good luck on your harvest@@twinelmfarmsdarryl8806
They all throw grain out the back how much is up to you and what you consider acceptable loss. The main reason to run Deere is resale value.
Whats the reason for not cutting north south-?
You want to drive the same direction as seeded, or it is way too rough. We combine which ever direction the field was seeded.
Why don’t you guys bale any straw. Oh by the way I think your cattle are awesome
Thanks, having cattle has definitely changed our farm. I did bale close to 600 bales of straw this year.
you'd be going 3.5-4 in a big new holland!!!
Probably, we know we aren't the biggest but we get it done. I think the new Holland is another under rated combine.
twin rotors and twin returns .... works very well... by far the best sample... but... they're expensive to maintain.. it seems
@@TwinElmFarms
love your channel
These guys just drive to slow 😂.
I've seen gleaner out run the competition many times.
4 mph in 100 bushel wheat no prob
And to be honest, it's probably that honey bee header.
Macdon 240 is better and feeds better
Have you guys seen the new Black and Silver massy tractors.
I had no idea what you were talking about. I googled it and they look sharp, not sure if that's the direction they are going or just fun
