The M2 has every option available just about it. It has 2900 Diesel in it, with more than enough power it hasn't pulled the engine down in the field running as fast as it will take it in. It does not have rear wheel assist's, just lug tires. We wanted something to level it out more with the larger front tires it has on it. The tires acctually tilt the front down slightly but it doesn't seem to be a problem in the field. The header has AHHC like the style Rolf has only older, but it works great. I live in North Eastern Ohio. Curt

I think we are averaging right around 40bpa. That's about average around here. Some of our other fields didn't quite make that much due to the weather we had in the spring. Corn is going about 150bpa this year and I haven't seen corn that good around these parts for years. Maybe at certain parts in the field it was 150bpa but not for an average. Curt

Nice pictures.Good looking machine.Back in 1984 the motor went sour on my 83 F3 and my dealer loaned me a 400 hour repo M2 to finish milo harvest with.I really liked it.There were alot of M2 Gleaners in this area at one time.They were considered to be a real good machine.

We don't have hills worth talking about, we do have a side hill blower off of our older M but we feel it's unnecessary so we never put it on. When you say a bump bar I'm assuming you mean a piece of angle iron to prevent rubbing the truck or wagon. I might just do it, but the auger has to be really close to the truck to hit it in which case you might be dumping on the other side on the ground. I know there are those instances where the truck might be on higher ground. Thanks for the suggestions, I am looking for any ways to improve this machine even more. Thanks
