Here where I farm, You would have to drive over two hours just to get parts for gleaners. Whereas my green dealer is 10 minutes and the red dealer is even closer. there are about three gleaners around here and one is used for parts. from the looks of it, you would not know if gleaner even come out with a new model in the last 20 years. This is deere country and only three farmers use IH. Don;t know how gleaners would hold up un rice. It will eat up a conventional in about two years.

It would be expensive to trade tires but, FYI I have a 9600 with 35.5in. x 32in. tires and I can reach speeds up to 30 mph. This kind of tire is about a foot taller than the 30.5in. x 32in. tire that you see alot of. I really like the big tire and it does real well in mud. What kind of tires do you haveIJ

Yup, they are Silver Seeders in the hands of idiots! Gleaner combines are for "OPERATORS", not "DRIVERS". They will do the poorest job of any make in the hands of someone who knows not how to set and operate a combine. BUT, in the hands of a knowledgable person, they won't be beat. Some of us on the Gleaner Talk site have achieved .2 bu_acre loss - That's 2_10 of a bushel, NOT 2%! As for the wear issue you raised - I wouldn't have a clue about anything to do with rice, but from things I've read here on this site and on Mach Talk, they couldn't wear any faster than any of the 9000+ series from Deere. Guys are talking about holes in their grain tanks at 800 hours - we've never worn any holes in any of our Gleaners. Neighbor owned an l3 that wore a hole in tank at 4400 hours. Tom l.
