Unstoppable L2 Gleaner Combine Mud Bogging Video!! 

Agree! My grandpa ran a 1979 M2. Super easy to work on, and yes ahead of their time when it came to inside the cab. Changing cylinder bars was a breeze.

Any thoughts on the K2?

@@SchnelleKat they are more in the F2 family. It’s hard to go wrong with one. They are pretty simple machines. They would have AC diesel power or GM gas power, both reliable. I would recommend a hydro drive. Great for small farms.

@@douglasmayherjr.5733 The only K2 combines with a hydro are the ones seed companies had converted. No K or K2 came factory with a hydro.

I agree that they were way ahead. I tell people that they should go sit in a 7700 or 915 or 8600 White and then sit in an M2 or L2. There just is no comparison and I can't see how the other companies were ever able to sell one of theirs off their lot when a Gleaner was available near by.

Allis Chalmers, and centerline design. 426 Allis Chalmers engines doesn't know back down

@@RJ1999x Right 👍👍

Yeah and that's why I bought a tile plow

The current Gleaner is an Allis Chalmers design that been tweaked for more capacity, but because Allis Chalmers used a centerline design the new one will go through mud just like the old ones

I had an M2 and have an L2 and used to run my cousin's F2 and none rattled.

Was wondering about that too ...road transportation?

Yes I have heard we have been really really considering buying alot of the inventory and taking over where they left off

Well it's muck so it never really freezes and even dry its super soft and one more wind storm and most of this corn will be flat the growing season didn't really allow it to grow a very good root system at all

rolling culvert???

Galvanized combine…

@@Rokonroller I figured that but never heard that term before. I've heard galvanized pheasant feeder, tin outhouse, and of course silver seeder..... I prefer Silver Bullet or the Grey Ghost or The Leaner Cleaner Gleaner ... I call my buddy's 1660 the red headed stepchild ;) Actually I have a 1981 L2.... the same year as Dirt Grain and Steel's #1 L2 and my buddy's 1660 is a 1991 which I believe is the same as DG&S's too.

@@SilverGleaner we used to sell IHC now case since 1923, the 1660’s engine is an addiction to some farmers, they keep them for the sound! Lol. Farming has changed a lot over the years, we have producer that trades 35 million in equipment every year.

@@Rokonroller My R52 has the same Cummins as my buddy's 1660. It's kinda thirsty compared to my L2 but the over all combine is just sooo much nicer to run with the large cab and a reverser. 35 million beats any customers we had when I worked at the local CaseIH dealer 20 years ago.

Personally I'd rather grow weeds than to sign up my land in any government controlled program. BTDT! Just tile it out someday and turn it into productive land. Right now the biggest competitor against my ability to rent more land is the government in one way or another. DNR purchasing prime farm land, CRP taking farm land out of production for many years at a time, and government bailouts to large farms ...... all which keeps land rent and land prices high.....there are more ways government restricts my ability to farm.

Allis Chalmers made tracks for the gleaners, they were mostly down in rice country
