Hey Tim! Glad the ol L2 is working out well for your brother. Your load out system seems to work well! The landing gear on that auger is weird though. I look at a lot of augers and wonder what on earth the engineers who designed them are smoking. They work, but they put a lot of force against a bunch of cheap thin tubing. Glad you found a job for the "turd" gas 190 LOL. Sounds like she definitely has some exhaust leaks. Thanks for sharing, Tim! Be safe out there, I hope the rest of your harvest is good!
Thankyou Evan! I couldn't agree more about the augers, every time we drive this one I feel like its going to fold in half lol I bet it flexes 2 feet or more at the end just creeping down the road with it lol. The old gas 190 is at least reliable 😆 it's done everything we've asked of it so far..... dad's xt just would do it better 😆 🤣 😂. We won't be back in the fields for at least a week at this point we've got over 2 inches of rain in the past few days, and things don't dry out this time of year. At this point I might be waiting for it to freeze before I get back after it. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend!
I recognize where you're at in Northern, IL. Been past your place many times. I worked for McCartney's on Gleaners and Allis-Chalmers back in the late 1980's in Rochelle, IL
My dad had gleaners for many years C2's and G's,,thru the years he mentioned that the tools needed to work on them were a torch and a big fkn hammer,esp after he got his first JD 7700 turbo and ran that for many trouble free seasons
He got tired of cutting in his own access doors to fix internal chains,replacing bearings, shafts, gaining access first so to fix and replace them,JD already had asset door panels already cut in and with removal clip panels covering them access holes,even if you had to clean it out after plugging things up
A c2 and a G are an era behind the 7700 is not fair to compare them really. Like saying he upgraded from a 7700 to an r series gleaner... no contest. Ask if the problems you said about the older gleaners were addressed by the time they got to the Ms, Ls, and Fs I'd put my M2 up to a 7700 any day off the week, especially now 45 years later, I still only need a hammer and a torch 😆. O and no proprietary parts on my gleaner either lol.
Yes my clay soil corn field does well, especially in a dry year if it is broken up well in the Spring and then stay off of it as much as possible. If you know someone with a red brick house, well that looks like my soil...
😆 I've got about 5 acres an together of red clay like your talking. I have 2 sections that were rock quarry around the turn of the century, the close you get to the acual quarry the feeder it gets. The rest of the clay ground is the light brown clay, perfect for pottery 😆. That's for watching and commenting Jeff!!
On the l2 they were at about ⅜ because the corn was 13% and I couldn't add much air without blowing seed out of the back especially on the hills. But I usually run around ⅝ in 18٪. As far as the chaffer I run it open as far as I can, just so the full cobs can't get caught in it.
I've got 2 fields with troubled spots, giant ragweeds, and of course both of those spots are right by the road where everyone sees it 😆 the fields that are tucked away are clean as can be lol.
They are hanging dead in the chaffer 😆. We had a pretty good mouse proofing routine in our combines. It involves poison, moth balls, dryer sheets, mint, and aluminum tape 😆.
@@user-ku8jh3ug4j I do youtube for fun. But I farm for a living. Most of this was my brother's in this video. I farm organically and have managed to make good money off 150 acres. I just do it with old paid for equipment the hard way to maximize profit instead of bank payments. But I do really enjoy farming, for the most part lol
O man, do they ever. I have Timpe in my M2, and in soybeans, I can cut circles around this L2. I also have homemade filler plates in my cylinder, I get almost 100% full cobs coming off the shoe and I'm able to push more corn through my M2 as well. But not like in soybeans I make this l2 look like a John deere out there 😂
Just subscribed. Like what yer doing. Was a semi owner for many years,,and been through your part of the country.
Thankyou Ron. I hope you enjoy the channel!!
I will be looking forward to the setup you do.
Thank you for the videos
Your welcome thankyou for watching.
@gmr61 it's been steady raining here, and I haven't got out to get the setup video done, but it's still coming.
Brings back memories from my childhood, had some neighbors that had a Gleaner combine that they used, back in the early 80s
Thankyou for watching and commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@MotoKeto if you've been past it here it's not hard to miss 😆 we still use ACM in Durand IL. We've got alot of equipment that came from McCartney's.
Would definitely like to see a video on combine settings. Just bought an L3
Yes sir, this should get you in the ballpark for any conventional Gleaner

It's supposed to be ductape.

Steady and smooth is always the way to go.
That's for sure, it's better to take your time and get all your grain in the hopper, than to go fast and torn it into a silver seeder 😆
My aunt had a 190. She also had a 185 Alice Chandler and then had a 7020 hours Chandler.

Changed elevated grain sprocket to run high bushel corn
I've heard of other having problems on the F combines with this!
I made extra adjustments added on sieve
What's bottom sieve set at?
On the l2 they were at about ⅜ because the corn was 13% and I couldn't add much air without blowing seed out of the back especially on the hills. But I usually run around ⅝ in 18٪. As far as the chaffer I run it open as far as I can, just so the full cobs can't get caught in it.
Had to put shoup new paddles in and accelerated rollers..go with steel not plastic my opinion
Our paddles are in his shape, our speed problems come on the hills in high bpa corn, not using the whole shoe,
Little shatter Cain I see in field
I've got 2 fields with troubled spots, giant ragweeds, and of course both of those spots are right by the road where everyone sees it 😆 the fields that are tucked away are clean as can be lol.
N6 sunny brook is 76 bushel a minute
How keep the weeds out of it being organic
Pre emergent pass before planting and a 8 row cultivator and a time weeder.
I have a pretty vigorous cultivation routine.

Here's a link to a video from this summer if your interested.
Where's the mice at?
They are hanging dead in the chaffer 😆. We had a pretty good mouse proofing routine in our combines. It involves poison, moth balls, dryer sheets, mint, and aluminum tape 😆.
You just do this for fun, correct?

Where does your corn go?
The organic corn goes to super soy in broadhead WI.
Put different bars in from Indiana made a diff

Sold f2 long shoe 292 to neighbor rebuild
I've got a wd45 with a 292. I plan to get running one of these days lol.
M2,
You know that in theory your brothers combine is supposed to be superior to Glenn in every way and any crop but that doesn’t appear to be the case lol
😆 is getting there. He's got a couple upgrades to go yet. But it's not a bad ride 😆
In your state, you get taxed for talking. ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Sucks asss
Trump and team !!!!!!!
