Combines Gleaner C62IJ

[junknuts]

The C62 is still in the price book would you like to order oneIJ My guess is with the combine plant relocation the C62 is at the bottom of the build schedule. I doubt there are very many new ones sitting on dealer lots to take to a show and I doubt that the corn belt is there target area for that type of machine.I think they are looking at the north and NW windrow area for their market of a convetional combine.Just my opinion.

The C62 is probably not being heavily marketed in the corn and soybean belt. In the shows up in Canada, the C62 and its MF counterpart, the 8680, do make appearances and show quite well from what I understand against the green grinders and the kitty kat combines. I have seen a few C62s in corn and beans, and they are truly outstanding, as well as in small grains. Gleaner has a real powder keg with the C62. I saw some 8680s being made a couple weeks ago at Hesston, KS, surely headed north to Canada or perhaps into Australia. It would be a mistake for AGCO to scratch the conventional combine, just as it is gaining in the north. As for AGCO's combine sales, I talked with a company guy who said their sales were up from last year, moreso than they expected. Market share gains were even seen in some areas. About time.

Up here in Northern Alberta Canada,the C62 Gleaner is the best kept secret in the industry.We have retailed a 1_2 dozen and the guys like em' better every year.Super capacity and feed like no other. 1.5-2.5 mph on the green guys in any condition or crop.Keeping the TX68 operators on the edge of their seats.Gotta keep them full though.Typical conventional.
