Harvester, I TOTAllY agree! I know over the years, the moniker "Silver Seeder" has stuck in many peoples' minds. It seems our silver combines have been the brunt of many jokes aimed at combines and combiners, but in reality, any combine, regardless of make_model, IS only as good [or bad] as its operator will allow. let the Silver Seeder pseudonym go to the grave with all the other urban and rural myths and legends. I agree that some combines are harder to set than others. Also, some combines are simply overbuilt and overcomplicated, but they still sell. The Gleaners have always been one of the hallmark machines for overall simplicity and easiness to work on. I also question AGCO's policy on dealershhip contracts. I think a dealer for Gleaners should also be able All of the products by AGCO, regardless of color or sub-brand names. Way too many companies, including Deere cut way too many dealers, many of whom had been in business 20-40 or more years and were actively selling lots of machines and implements. It just does not make sense at a time when farmers themselves were having major financial woes and needed their lOCAl dealers for support.
