@@nielsdybro9759 I was thinking the same thing. It sounded pretty loud, but I wasn’t sure if it was that, or the way the microphone was picking it up..really sensitive. I once rebuilt a pick up reel that sounded similar on one of mine.
I rebuilt mine on my R-62 this year. When I started harvesting I wondered what that funny noise I was hearing? It was every other sound on the combine, the anger was silent!!😂
Looks like fun, I haven't run a combine for years. Massey Harris ,Super 92 ,or JD 55. I always wanted to go out with a custom combine crew ,but I never did. 😊
Best summer job I ever had was working on a custom harvest crew. We'd leave our hometown in the OK Panhandle the day after school was out and go to Frederick, OK, then back to our hometown, Hooker, OK and be in Burlington, CO by 4th of July. We liked Burlington because it was cooler and cooled off at night. We had Gleaner C-IIs and Gs.
Always enjoyed running those L series. Sometimes regret selling that last one but it just couldn't handle 8 rows of modern corn production. Then came R60, and now running stripper headers in cereal on 8780xp Massey and A86 Silver Massey. Great video!
Those Gleaner L's still getter done! They had 40% of the combine market back in their day. Hell of a good wheat crop, here at Diller Ne I didn't have any but the neighbors 2 fields made 86 and 90bu/acre.
Have told the story about the silver seeder? My custom harvester neighbor got home from wheat harvest , told me this. A fellow wanted to be a custom harvester , he bought gleaner combine. Ask a farmer can I help you harvest? The farmer said yes! The fellow made a round the field. The farmer got on the combine looked in the grain bin , ask the fellow this. Did you adjust this combine? The fellow said this I have to adjust it!!! (Cylinder concave machines) Show this to the people running the combines!!!!
Gran video gracias por compartir y bonitas maquinas gleaner aqui en mexico un vecino tenia un gleaner M2 pero no pudo conseguir refacciones y lo chatarrizo ahorita tiene 7720 titan
Gleaner makes a really good combine. In my area they were the rule. We had some neighbors that had Oliver. Man that R62 is makin a banging noise. The straw must be a little tough.
I use to work for allis chalmers and mostly worked on gleaner combines. Have been on many harvests with the combines that were in testing. The L series in my opinion was the best combine gleaner has made 😊
