Allis Chalmers Show: 1962 Gleaner Model A Combine Harvesting Corn First Attempt.

On this episode, we take our 1962 Allis Chalmers Gleaner A Combine to the field for the first time to try and harvest some corn. Our adventure is cut short due to the combine jamming and rain.

Thanks for sharing. That's a clean looking machine. Seems to run great.

[@BenWinborn]

I could listen to that thang run all day nothing like em!!

[@Thoroughly_Wet]

Imagine when two rows was an impressive header size

[@dorperranch3748]

It was no doubt a better time.

Loved my old Gleaner E I had.

[@williamorman4779]

We had an e ,we ran a 13ft grain table on her in 2nd gear with hydraulic all the way back.dam nice combine.

Great video of the old girl. My brother still runs a CII he picked almost 100 acres with it this year corn and beans. I run an M2

[@ottoneidlinger4938]

Thanks for taking us along. Be sure to keep us informed with another video when you get fixed. Good luck

[@theda850two]

The shorter video format is just fine :) any amount of watching aged iron working is a good thing :)!

[@gleanerk]

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching! Gleaners are great machines! Got a GleanerK myself,been enjoying it. Born raised on JD’s combines but GleanerK seems to be easier to work on most of the time!

[@AndreiTupolev]

What a wonderfully improvised looking contraption.

Cutting edge of technology in the day

I saw a Gleaner today out pounding corn, its rare to see a big field with only 1 combine going usually anywhere from 2 to 5 going at the same time. This Gleaner was cooking right along and of course it was a big as a smaller shop and was running a 12 row header, and he was not running very slow at all, there were also 4 semis at the end of the field they were dumping the grain cart into!

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

It was fun while it lasted, thanks for sharing!

[@normpowell3566]

That's a piece of history in action. Hope it will always be run every year

[@cwalt4483]

Nice looking Gleaner. We have an early G in the barn. There's no fun when that raddle chain gets plugged up.

cool little machine

A wide row head in narrow rows .I did like the video

[@tomchrisfield7348]

At one time the Gleaner was the best combine out there. I grew up shoveling oats from an IH model 93. The oats were always full of ragweed seed.

[@jasonwhitler4167]

I'm seeing lots of videos of old gleaners earning their keep on KZbin. Not many from other brands.

[@RJ1999x]

That's because the Allis Chalmers Gleaner is the only one that stood the test of time

[@purplerunner1715]

I bet you one thing, when that thing was new, you could look over a real good field of corn from the cab. Now you can barely see what's in front of you for all the corn plants. Farming have surely changed in many ways.

[@mikefolknation2851]

I was thinking the same. Corn plants used to be 1/2 as big.

[@bryanginder5903]

@@mikefolknation2851 they were just as tall just not planted as thick!

[@Heimerviewfarm]

Really hoping someday you guys are able to find 10-15 acres to run all your equipment on.

[@curtallsup3581]

I'm still running the 1984 M3. 6 row equipment

[@keithkuckler2551]

That cab must be some later additon. When that combine was new, a hundred bushels and acre was considered a good yield. They were never built to handle what we have now. I think it had the same engine as a D 17 about 45 horse or so. They were a great little machine for small grain and with a ten foot header for beans.

[@JandLVideos]

I think the Gleaner E has the same engine as the d17. This has a 6 cylinder. The cab was made by ansel

[@keithkuckler2551]

@@JandLVideos Well,it has been a long time since i was around one of those. Thanks for the correcrtion

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

I would have loved to run one bet it was a lot less dusty and dirty than the mounted picker we ran and I didn’t think it could get any better

[@ArmpitStudios]

Man, look at that cool ol’ thing! Nothing like a Gleaner. I assume the painted logos are original?

[@JandLVideos]

Yep they sure are!

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

That a machine boy’s I picked corn with a new idea 2 row mounted on a D-19 and I thought that was it

[@olivei2484]

Love the vid! Now a belly deep surgury video.

[@rbharvesters7404]

Very interesting, i have a pair of English built model A,s. Neither have cabs. Do you find the cab restrictive at all. I kind of like being out in the open. Even though i get covered in dust then cooked at the same time. We don't do maize were i live. Not with combines like you do. Very occasionally i have heard of it. I haven't ever seen a combine cutting with a corn row header like you have on the vid. Only ever seen traditional grain headers is use. I probably need to get out more! We do have forage harvester whole crop harvesting it for livestock feed and energy production would you believe. Yes ridiculous i know but never mind. Thanks for the vid i would love to have a closer look but i live about 8,000 miles away. Keep the good work up.

[@JandLVideos]

I prefer the open station, but my brother (the one driving it in the video) he likes the cab

Hopefully!!!! We still have to try out our all crop 72 in some soybeans
