Love seeing those older gleaners still working in the field. Sweet video!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@Seveneleven44]

My lifelong friends farm has two of these...when we were in high school, one caught fire on us, we were famous for a couple days...anyway they completely rebuilt and restored that machine over the following years, and I believe they put a cummins M11 in her if I remember correctly.

[@littlerougue]

I can remember back at the day crawling all over one of these at a Farm show in OKC looking back it is a miracle that the guys running the Allis booth didn't run me of since obviously I wasn't in the market for a $130,000 combine harvester @ 12 years old

[@Jared-91]

One of my favorite Gleaner models. Local farmer I know used to have a beautiful N5. He's got an R62 now.

[@bigtractorpower]

The N5 is a combine I would like to find to film.

[@B422TMack]

My Family had F2 Gleaner Combines. One with the Chevy Gas burner engine. &.One with a A.C. Diesel. Then a couple of friends of the family ran R50's. Another friend of the family ran F2 Diesels .(Thier family still does along with An N6 Gleaner.) I remember when the N6 came out I thought it was a House coming down the road lol. Sad thing is now the nearest Gleaner dealer here. My part of West TN is Paris,TN. About 135 miles & 2.5 hours NE from where I live. But still love hearing an old school diesel Gleaner work. Mack

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool.

[@sparkeyjones6261]

I worked in purchasing for Deutz-Allis about 30 years ago. My friends at the time worked in areas like banking, marketing, etc. So, I was always slightly embarrassed to tell them I worked for a company that manufactured farm equipment. Looking back at it now, that was pretty stupid to feel that way. Now, I have far more respect for people in farming than banking ;) Thanks for posting this video. It brings back good memories.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I like finding Deutz-Allis machines to share. I like Spring Green machines. Agriculture is our number one industry. Lots of big finance for banks. Lots of marketing to sell industrial sized machines that today cost $500,000 to $700,000 each. List price for the top end Gleaner today is $450,000. With a 40ft grain header at $100,000 and a 12 row corn head at $150,000 a new Gleaner is a $700,000 machine. Farming and the farm equipment business is a great line of work.

[@scruffy6151]

Opening shoot i see and hear a gray monster comeing at me. Never had a chance to run one but, would have love to. Thank you BTP.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@scruffy6151]

bigtractorpower . I have worked on farms in three states in each state i have seen them running in the fields they where good machines

[@mstr-farms257]

Love seeing farming in warm weather. Right now it's manure hauling in the snow. Yay.

[@craigbigboy1]

Love these old girls great video thank you BTP 👍🏻

[@roynelson7613]

That's a big boy right there definitely getting the job done

[@mackowen9337]

Back when things were built to last.

[@RJ1999x]

Mackenzie owen because it was an Allis Chalmers

[@mackowen9337]

RJ 1999 Oh yes. You can't kill an All is Chalmers. It would probably kill you first. Lol.

[@RJ1999x]

Mackenzie owen many a man has tried, most have failed!

[@mackowen9337]

RJ 1999 To bad we don't make quality things like we did in the old days.

[@RJ1999x]

Mackenzie owen I agree, it's a shame what our manufacturing has become

[@gregthomas7277]

He is flat out moving!!!!..what kind of yields??...gotta love the Gleaners

[@farmmachineryfan856]

+bigtractorpower Very nice footage! Please keep up the good work!

[@jamieshields9521]

Great vid, I would like to know what operators think of their machines like fuel usage n maintenance. Love Gleaner combines👍

[@bigtractorpower]

This farm likes Gleaner very much. They run four Gleaners. They have an L3, R60 and two R75s.

[@undergod1987]

Oh my those l's. Grew up driving an L.. Couldn't stop over throwing. Just had to slow it down because the cylinder would take it faster than the walkers could do the work. But the the L2 came out.. Longer and higher pitched walkers and bam cut circles arround that L..

[@SilverGleaner]

@@undergod1987 All L, L2, L3 and L4 (rare) had same walkers. Risers were available for all and the risers would slow straw down. They just bolted or riveted in. The early L2 was pretty near identical to the late L. In 1979 the L2 got a bigger grain tank and stadium lights and in 1980 the cleaning shoe got longer and that was a good improvement. I have a 1981 L2 sitting in the shed and an R52 that I picked up a couple years ago. Good machines both.

[@aidenmagnuson6306]

I love in Minnesota and all I see are John Deere's and cases

[@aidenmagnuson6306]

*live

[@SilverGleaner]

Used to be a lot of Gleaners until Deutz took over. In the late 70's Gleaner was number one is US sales and number one in resale value. By 1991, when I went to work for a Gleaner dealership, Gleaner only had 4% of the US market. Deutz was no good for the brand. Northfield and Goodhue areas had a lot when I worked at a CaseIH dealership in the late 1990's. In my part of Minnesota there still are a few Gleaners. Loosing Isaacson Implement in Nerstrand was a big loss in the area for Gleaner sales. They sold many.

[@ih1206]

Not many Gleaners left in my area. Most seem to have been replaced in the last 10 years.

[@undergod1987]

That is the one week point of gleaners.. Not a big enough dealership coverage.

[@Farmerjon9660]

Just out of curiosity, where did you film this at? Because this looks an awful like farmer near us in Cecilia Kentucky.

[@adamrogers3946]

Farmerjon9660. Yes that is us.

[@Farmerjon9660]

Adam Rogers Lol hello Adam. I thought it was y’all

[@bigtractorpower]

This was filmed near E-Town not far from the WKY Parkway.

[@Farmerjon9660]

Yep it was who I thought it was. You were not too far from me then

[@nielsdybro9759]

That combine appears to have received an engine upgrade at some point. Do you know what engine they had in it here? Originally, that model had the air cooled V8 Deutz engine in it. The holes for the two exhaust tips are still in the sheet metal, but this one has a single tip poking out of the right side sheet towards the rear. It sure sounds like a straight 6 cylinder engine in this one.

[@Heimerviewfarm]

Niels Dybro there's also an air intake to the right of the cab, not sure what that's for?

[@bigtractorpower]

It originally had a Deutz Air Cooled engine. It has a Cummins engine now.

[@nielsdybro9759]

Midwest Allis Fan: Looking at the plumbing from the air filter, a best guess is that it is an air filter for the cab climate system.

[@jtoddjb]

thank you

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@mikemercer8395]

Damn think the reel is doing half the threashing

[@primalrex1905]

He should run the header more slowly.. he shreads the crop with it (just have a look at the beginning of the video).

[@CumminsDslPwr]

Good thing they did a heart transplant on it, or that machine would have ended up in the scrap pile long ago. Those air cooled diesels didn't hold up at all. The founders of AC never intended for it to mean Air Cooled.

[@RJ1999x]

Thank Deutz for ran rodding that down our throats. If they would have left Allis Chalmers alone there would have been 5-6x as many combines sold

[@robward6354]

now that ismoving

[@Stigsens1]

Look like he use the rake to pull up the combine:-) We had Gleaners in Australia, in 1994 Was ok combines, a bit underpowered for high yealding.

[@SilverGleaner]

I don't think there was a more powerful combine built in 1994. Certainly not Deere or CaseIH.

[@Laury79]

Like gleaners but don't like seeing them being used as seeders at that speed!

[@SilverGleaner]

Set right they have tons of capacity. I used to work at a CaseIH dealership and the farm next to the dealership ran an N6, then R62 and I'll never forget when a young new salesman came back from watching the Gleaner in the field combining corn. You could hear that V8 Deutz scream and he said there is no way a 2388 could ever keep pace with that R62 plus he went to check for losses behind the Gleaner and there was virtually none. The farmer eventually switched to Cat because he didn't like the Cummins for some reason in his last R62 and he had a dispute with the dealer in Spring Valley. This year he traded every thing Cat, tractors and all for CaseIH.

[@vanilakung7563]

Has anyone ever polished one of these to mirror shine?

[@gleanerman2195]

I use to try everything, only cure was to paint them. If they had been made of aluminum that would polish out to bee rally shiny.

[@SilverGleaner]

@@gleanerman2195 Steel wool is supposed to work good.

[@MrVanroot]

Where’s the narration?

[@bigtractorpower]

I am posting daily short clips now with out narration in between the longer fully narrated releases.

[@MrVanroot]

bigtractorpower what’s the reason behind doing that? I throughly enjoyed your narration

[@Redmallard]

What is it harvesting?

[@bigtractorpower]

Winter wheat

[@Redmallard]

bigtractorpower thanks.

[@adamsteele9521]

I never knew that tin sheds could harvest crips

[@ksufarmer5319]

They can't, but they can sure harvest the crops! Put others to shame!

[@noelhohberger1188]

Good ol silver seeder

[@RJ1999x]

Noel Hohberger uneducated reply

[@noelhohberger1188]

Oh yeah and how so?

[@RJ1999x]

Noel Hohberger silver seeder? That's a reference to the combine throwing grain out the back. Every combine regardless of brand will throw grain over if not properly set,so a reference like yours is a stupid comment.

[@noelhohberger1188]

Oh your kidding? I guess by my statement, I'm stupid or something? Or you just have nothing better to do than be butt hurt about some silly little thing I said.

[@RJ1999x]

Noel Hohberger You seem to be the one butthurt. Why call a gleaner a silver seeder? It was meant to be derogatory. You got called on it, now your pouting

[@1954-p4t]

it said deuts allisand gleaner

[@codyzellmer1998]

in 1984, Allis Chalmers, who made Gleaner, had to sell part of their agriculture department to Deutz to try to get out of debt. The last of the N series (from 1984 to 85) had the Deutz-Allis name on them. By the time late 1985 had rolled around, Allis sold the last part of the department to Deutz and the new R series (R5, R6, R7) was released. They basically took the N series and repainted it. In 1987, they decided to change a bit and they put their own air-cooled engines in them and called them the R40, R50, R60, and R70. The engines were some of the most fuel efficient engines of the time, but they weren't suited to Gleaner's down low rear engine design. We had an R60 until the engine blew up, thanks to the air filter not being put on right and it sucking dirt through the engine. All this time, they kept the Deutz-Allis name on them to keep the die-hard Allis farmers buying them.

[@J-1410]

@@codyzellmer1998 agree until the last part, deutz's you have to keep clean and that was the way companies did things, IH-case, tenneco's companies, even GM and such included their past to keep sales.
