100 YEARS of GLEANER Combine

[@gleanerman2195]

That swivel unloader is spectacular, easy on grain, simple, uses less fuel, old school that works the best. Good job bigtractorpower.

[@truthseeker5890]

Fantastic overview and presentation. My family's first Gleaner was a "C" (straight C). Although I was very young at the time, with every passing year I began to take more interest in it; today, I remember it like it was yesterday. 262 cu. in. 6-cyl gas engine, wooden idler blocks for the chains, wooden slats on the raddle chain, and more. It worked great in oats but as the years progressed and the corn yields and the stalks increased, that wooden raddle was the weak spot. Today, we also use green paint but Gleaner is where it all started. I sure wish they would have kept the Allis Chalmers orange paint for the tractors. Thank you for doing this.

[@Dirtanddieselphotography]

I’m loving the paint scheme of the centennial edition. Gleaner never fails to impress.

[@bigtractorpower]

It is very cool looking.

[@demontrain4438]

Nothing better than a Gleaner. Cleanest combines around. Thank you for the video

[@bigtractorpower]

They are great combines.

[@derekkienzle2582]

As an old Allis guy, thank you gleaner for remembering AC in your heritage. Fantastic looking combine.

[@bigtractorpower]

I am excited to film a 100 Years Edition in wheat this June.

[@e23561]

Great video. Take it from a Case IH mechanic by day... Running 3 generations of gleaner at home in the evenings, G, R7, R72, simpler to work on, less down time, great grain samples.

[@robwar2288]

Are they built Heavy enough??

[@e23561]

@@robwar2288 my dad worked 20 years for agco and now 20 years for CNH. Ask him how many turret auger housings and gear boxes he's put in a red one and how many unloader joints he's replaced on a gleaner. Shaker bushings. Rotor transition cones. Case rotor variable speed is controlled by a glorified car window actuator. Gleaner it's a hydraulic cylinder integral to the variable speed drive hub. Yeah they are built heavy enough.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

This is the only non IH machine we have ever owned. Don’t get me wrong IH axial flow was a winner but Gleaner is Gleaner and our N Series is 7000 hours strong.

[@kshrock]

We started an emergency harvesting crew in 2003 after Hurricane Irene. We bought 44 series John Deere tractors for the wagons and a large Class 840 harvester, a Miller pro silo blower and we rented IH tractors to run the blower. It should have been only 1 tractor, but it ended up being 6. The PTO blew in short succession on all 6. So we finally got an old beatup John Deere 40 or 42 series tractor, and put it on the blower and it ran flawless the rest of the season. IH has not been good to us at all. Everything from 1066 to the newer fancy ones. They break easily and randomly. And JD has been the opposite. Almost indestructible.

[@mljw4080]

From 1959 to 1986 our farm had 5 Gleaner combines. Three of them had rice tires. Fun times when there is no cab or cab without an air conditioning setting in a glass bubble. Easy to service with access to all parts of the combine. Clean grain and minimum grain loss out of the back. KZbinr Brian's Farming Videos bought a Gleaner combine in 2022. It is harder to get used to the feeder house being to the right instead of dead center. Wasn't the smoothest start with the transmission, but that was fixed. With a corn head, the back end is light. There is a weight package and I would definitely want that. I did not feel the combine was as stable as it should be. The grain is cleaner than the Claas, John Deere, and CaseIH combines I have seen on other KZbin videos. I am looking forward to hearing about your experience with a Gleaner combine this year. Great and informative video.

R.I.P Kevin Bein. Kevin kept the Gleaner brand alive. Wish he could have made it to the 100th anniversary.

[@bigtractorpower]

Kevin is greatly missed. Aaron is a life long Gleaner enthusiast and really enjoys being a part of AGCO.

[@Dirtanddieselphotography]

Kevin inspired many. I became a gleaner fan three years ago watching every episode of the gleaner roadshow.

[@truthseeker5890]

That is/was a huge loss for the Gleaner brand. He really pushed to improve Gleaner in the last years. Huge loss!

[@backachershomestead]

I remember when growing up in the 70's. A school friends parents had a Gleaner. We always picked on him saying Gleaner was so cheap they couldn't paint them. Guess Gleaner taught me a lesson. Still here today!

[@ncpanther]

Honestly the transverse rotor is the most efficient and lightest footprint of all combines. Just wish here in NC there was a bigger or local dealer network. Despite some still running doing maintenance in house and take that 45-60 min drive for parts. Thanks BTP for the informative vid!

[@boomerang379]

Not in a rice field they’re not. When gleaner switched to transverse rotor machines they quit selling them in rice country. They can’t handle the tough conditions.

[@normpowell3566]

100 years is an amazing achievement. Congratulations.

I love my Gleaner. They're great combines and always have been. Agco should have dumped the Massey name and stayed with the orange Agco line.

[@bigtractorpower]

Massey has a strong presence world wide. It would have been nice to see AGCO orange continue in North America. If they had started consolidating to orange from the start it may have been a stronger brand.

[@404nitro]

With the corporate name of AGCO and the A standing for Allis, there should ALWAYS be AC orange in and on their products IMO. I always enjoy the videos with a Gleaner running in them, especially the newer Gleaners. Lots of old ones around here (and I mean old) but very rarely do we get to see a new(er) one here. I wish that would change.

[@bigtractorpower]

It is nice to see the orange. AGCO has really become a strong company. While orange is not the brand today it built a world wide leader with top end products.

[@gleanerman2195]

When they formed Agco it stood for Allis-Gleaner company, how they have abused it.

[@gleanerman2195]

My dad traded 6 L2's for 3 N6's in the fall of '79, I found some black striping that looked something like the series three strips. A guy we knew at the time ran Gleaner experimental machine's and saw them, they put those on the '82 series three machines. I remember thinking that was cool of them.

[@bigtractorpower]

Wow what a great history. Thank you for sharing. What crops were you harvesting. I hope to film the N5, N6 and N7 at some point. Very cool combines.

[@gleanerman2195]

@@bigtractorpower We harvested wheat from Texas to Nebraska, then went back south for rice, corn and soybeans, we ran those N6's then N7's till '88 then went back to 12 L3's.

Because that concept was developed by gleaner and belongs in the gleaner name.
