Why did we buy a Gleaner Combine? 

Hey everyone the editor (Brian) made a mistake and left a double clip

“It can be done, but it’s tight!” Ahah that’s what she said Brian 😂

Like your "thought process" why you bought the Gleaner. Not everyone has that process - just keep that same color. Profitable farming generally involves evaluating options. Great job especially one handed. Love that Bob cam. Thks for taking the time - keep um rolling.

The auto header height control is a thing of beauty on the Gleaner 👍 especially in corn 🌽.

No matter what combine you bought people wouldn't be happy with choice. To me it's about cost and how well dealership is. Plus cost per hour is big thing

I ran Gleaners all my life. The F L R50 R62 S67 and some others to name a few. I’ve been Retired now for a number of years now. I think you will find they are the corvettes of combines. They are low cost easy to repair and easy to run at least the ones I had were.They have high capacity if set properly.Your Excelerator rollers are where a lot of the grain is cleaned with the blast of air blowing through them so keep those in good condition. I really enjoy your RU-vid channel. Your kids are a great asset along with the entire family. You do a great job explaining your operation.

Come the next wet fall that Gleaner will shine . I run a Gleaner and have always been happy with mine specially in wet ground . When the neighbors sinking in the mud I'm running on top .

Love your opinions of the Gleaner, we have been running gleaner for over 40 years. A lot of farmers aren't willing to give them a chance because they aren't "flashy". On our farm it would cost over 8k $ more a year in fuel alone to run red or green

That's a mean looking machine with the new vision cab and your 40 ft head.

Had a neighbor who always ran Gleaner and would always out cut or Deere. I hauled all his on farm storage and was always the best quality grain of anyone else. And I used to truck a lot in the winter. I would like to run one some time for sure.

The Gleaner chopped the wheat straw into confetti. Impressive threshing, too.

Buying a Gleaner is like Buying a Versatile Tractor, They are Cheap, Economical, Productive Machines, and Most Importantly they Work & Get The Job Done! They will also be Priced $100,000-200,000 Cheaper than their Competitors. It’s All about Cost Per Acre.

Don’t matter what I think you need it’s what y’all need that matters People think you have to have the latest and greatest newest things but there’s farmers out there still farming today with equipment that’s 30 and 40 years old

The way I see it you buy what suits you cause you are the one that knows what best suits your needs.

Great video. It is your money, spend it the way it works des for your farm. I'm am happy that you got a Gleaner, I don't see many of them on RU-vid.

Super series is the coolest looking combine on the market. They look so awesome. After learning about them from Kevins videos from agco, I can't believe more people aren't running them, seems like a no brainer. But I am an A-C fanatic to be fair

I used to drive a Gleaner C-II and then a G a long time ago when I was in high school and worked on a custom harvest crew. About the joy thing that is the same is the color and name.

“He won’t let me drive the gleaner” haha….guess he wants ya to get all the bugs out so he can just run it

Awesome....... I understand why you bought the Gleaner Good description......

Y'all will be pleased with the Cleaner.... Bottom line at the end of the year will make y'all smile

To the little working man: you keep wearing your orange vest!! It's a good thing to do so you can be seen when it's crazy busy on the farm. May you and your sisters have a fun summer

I am a old shit kicker from Vermont if I am listening write the Gleaner will show it’s true colors in three to four years. Not as handy as some but does a better job and less long run maintenance. Thanks BFF

We farmed in the 70’s and 80’s. We did some custom harvesting with some other farmers for several years. Might be 3 to 4 brands in one field. But at the end of the week our Gleaners we’re the only ones left still rolling them acres. Love me some GLEANERS!!

Absolutely love your gleaner! Thank you for sharing it with us love your channel.

Somewhere in American agriculture we have lost sight of the simplicity of planting and harvesting. I fear we have over complicated the process with Cost of technology that its breaking the back of the American farm families. The simplicity of things like Gleaner combines and white planters has benefited my farm and family for many years putting black ink on the bottomline! 👍

I am in JD country down here in NC, I had not even heard of Gleaner for a long time. My granddaddy ran one 30 years ago. We were the only ones around with one.

Looks like some pretty good wheat hopefully the calibrations were easy enough to figure out.

Nice to see Dax, thanks for sharing and farm on. 🇺🇸

Good to see the wheat harvest is taking place, and to see the Gleaner is at it to.Hopefully all works well and that the wheat harvest yields well. Have a happy 4th. Hope you will take a break and celebrate with family.

That was a sweet reminder, Brian. Thanks.

I always liked Gleaners. They are good looking combine

I wasn't a gleaner fan but after seeing you new one I would defiantly consider.

You are a good dad thank you for that God bless

Been waiting for an appearance by big Mike. Your comment about not using that trailer was entertaining if remember correctly in fall harvest I remember a time when everything including both dump trucks were filled with corn 🤣

Nice double in there Brian lol. Glad to hear that Gleaner is pleasantly surprising you. Hope it keeps going like you want it to.

Any color combine can do corn. The crop that really tests the limits is wheat. Glad to hear the gleaner is shining.

We normaly dont shoot the editor, and must say good thoughts and reasons for picking the gleaner, i quess time will tell. Thanks for another great video, greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

Great video Brian,lot of Gleaners around us in North Central Indiana.ran an r52 years ago in wheat,nice combine. Keep the videos coming an have a great summer.

You nailed it when you said it is cheaper to repair. On our farm we run a Caseih 8120. I don't even drive anymore when something breaks it is a 6K repair bill.

Kid doesn't know how good hes got it. I used to sit on a pot in the L2 and it was always air conditioner but alot of condensation gave me a constant shower. That withy barley dust was itchy, and little louder inside. My dad would all of a sudden jump out check loss while going and jump back in. L2 had a 426 diesel and kept up with much bigger machines. 2000 acres a year, back in the days when people still used swathers and pickup headers. Versatile 400 of course.

The gleaner was a score!

That is one good looking Gleaner combine.

In my opinion wheat will be the toughest test on a combine; you're bringing in 1.5-2 tons of material to the acre through that machine. Corn doesn't come close to that. If it can roll 3.5 in wheat then I have no doubt it'll handle 230 bu corn

Great "why did we buy a Gleaner Video", thanks for sharing

Boy i wished i lived in Ohio!! Instead of below Pittsburgh! Id def haul sum corn for you guyz or grain cart!!💯💯👍🙌🙌 Glad Gleaner running!🤘 Hope AC is in it is good!👍😆🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Dax is clearly a working man safety first! I like the looks of that Gleaner. Especially when you walk behind it. No lost $$

Plus you can go a little slower if needed for the price difference. Glad your wheat is yielding good.

If you are happy with the Gleaner that's all that matters! It would be interesting to see if the ground holds moisture better where it was combined with the Claas?

Brain,i think the gleaner will be a great combine.We ran those combines,we had a A2,M,M3,all good combines,easy to work on. I know the new models should be so much better.

i have only ever heard great things about the gleaners in small grains such as wheat

Hi Brian. I am a farmer for northern Mn. I am driving to Princeton West Virginia to my in-laws and just happen to be going through Chillicothe Ohio today.

Really enjoy the harvest videos !! Thanks!!!

There are two schools of thought on stalk choppers versus spreaders I preferred choppers residue management it helps with but it takes more maintenance due to wear and tear.... but if it's not a problem then the spreader is fine my experience in rice was residue management and I like the chopper one way too expedite decomposition....less hair pinning when planting

Glad your farms have some great yields in wheat !!

As always you make great videos and keep doing what you do best working the farm and making videos for us to watch thank you for your hard work and Postings .

Nice

Nice to see Big Mike back. TCO is a thing.

Give your son hell Dad! And it was nice you let him drive the Gleaner!

Good video!!! Well done!!!

From the front it looks almost like an Ideal, and that is good!

When the Gleaner turns out to be a reliable machine it has been a wise decision to go with . Current prices on a class 6 Claas or Case in mind . On the other hand I thought that Bob was going to use the Gleaner as his combine . Getting older and slowing down a bit and maybe finishing his career with the machine he started with .

Your macdon does have auto header height by the way. You run your wheels on the header at like in the middle (height as necessary) you unlock your header adapter like you do for soybeans except you don’t have the cutter bar in flex. Then you have to adjust the weight of the header with the springs in the header adapter there is. Typically a gauge bar on the right side of the adapter and you run it to a number depending on what size header you got.

I’m sure the transverse rotor would be better for bailing straw, because from the design, it looks like it would be easier.

That paddock is next to a road; it better be doin' awesome!

I was once in Florida in 90 deg / 90% weather and went for a bike ride to cool off. The breeze did me no good at all.

Why did we buy a Gleaner? Because we run the checkbook and damn it that's what we wanted....enough said 😁

You are writing the check. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Turn your fan speed up a little to help clear the chaff... Check you return amount

Hope you get the rain we gotten 100 miles west of Louisville!

Nothing runs like a Gleaner !

Great job Brian!

i love the gleaner. its a work horse. great vlog

Very interesting video, totally enjoyed , thanks for sharing Brian.

Thx for sharing the video. Greatings from Belgium

It’d be an interesting video if you went over the cost difference of all the combines you looked at. I enjoy the channel. Thanks for sharing.

If the gleaner can handle 40 ft header in 90b plus wheat should be good in corn good buy.Seems good machine.

Ty for sharing your day.l learn so much.

Ha brian we had 2 gleaners and never did get the bugs out of them it seems u only get what u pay 4

That was funny when, Dax gave you the look when you said turd. He must of thought it was a working word. Our grandson (6) would say " that's a swear word " even when it might not be. Then you have to explain why it wasn't & we would say it was an inappropriate word. lol.

Nice thought. I agree with u there.

evening brian, nice content again cheers.

All good things here👌

Seems like a good investment. I am sure you will be happy with gleaner

The farmer I know we where harvesting corn in a gleaner s67 and had it up to 430 bushels of corn, but we where running a 6 row corn header

Good video as always Brian. Keep them rolling.

Brian If you are interested 802 farms Broulette farms in the great state of Vermont shows juice farming skuize A tree skuize a cow

The green weed ure dad was talking about, I believe its called cheet grass, could be wrong but here in South East Indiana alot of the weat had it in there this year

I picked up an older gleaner this year because it out performed a 2008 combine on corn sample last year and had comparable capacity with way less cost. The cult following exists for a reason

I do think you'll be impressed with the "silver beast" in corn. We run JD but if we ever switched we'd most likely go with Gleaner. Take care guy's.

Thanks Brian! Enjoyed the video!

Enjoy your videos buddy!

There good combines you will like it next person asking why tell them get there check book out pay the difference you go to that color combine .

Just need an extension for the auger and you will be set. Did you guys ever think about getting a class 8 or 9 and go down to 1 combine.

Our gleaner has done pretty well in corn with an 8 row head, but I don’t think it will keep up that that class with a 12 row. Then things plow through corn like nothing

"The Tortoise and the Hare". We know what happened there. I think you are right, ultimately it comes down to repairs, cost and access to them. Your relationship with the local dealership has a BIG impact on that.

Cutting the straw better is an understatement the claas looks like you are going to bale the straw

Awesome machine 😊👍

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!!

Nice looking machine! As the smell of the cast, I had one a few years ago and I used Febreze and it helped 😂

Gleaner #1 👍👏👏👏
