Combines I m a believer

[greengoose]

I was also at the canadian international farm show. The gleaner is a good combine but they really have to make a better cab. That NH CX combine that was there I agree with you FHB it is ugly.

Yes you may not have climb up top to grease it, but what about everything elseIJ Cab comfort, header hookup, that alful headache of an engine cover, trying to see a header on header trailer to hook up, try manually moveing the lateral tilt while hooking up a header, try climbing up the straw chopper to unstop it, Ive never heard about hyperizing a combine till gleaner, and I've been around all makes even worked at a deere dealership an ran a few deere including a sts, but have always ran a cih on our farm (nonhyperized of course) But if thats what it takes to make on run why dont they do it from the factory and why isnt there more gleaners out thereIJIJIJIJIJIJIJ

Your complaints do not have any validity to them. Cabs are comfortable and more roomy than the rest of them. Header hookups are easy. Engine cover has never gave me a headache. Headers are easy to get on and off trailers. lateral tilt is easy to manually adjust if necessary. Unplugging choppers or impellers is not that hard. Just because the header doesn't stick out in front of the cab 8-10 feet doesn't mean it is hard to see it at any time. A Gleaner is designed the way it is to maintain a balanced, easy handling machine that is easy to work on. Kelly

lets see, I'll try to answer those questions. What about everything elseIJ Well valentines day is coming up, have you got your sweety a romantic little whatnotIJ I guess that comes under the category of 'else'. Cabs are roomy, ergonomic, farphenughany, w_smoke tinted glass that is 'bout as good as anything on the market and way ahead of some. Header hookup is 'bout as simple as hookandlatch. I have hooked most other brands and don't really see much difference. The lateral tilt works pretty neat, You drive up to the header, slide the throat in and raise up til it lifts slightly, then either turn the knob or toggle the switch and see if it raises or lowers the header and proceed to inch it up til she locks in. If you are on unlevel ground I really like the ease the lat tilt adds to hooking up. Stopping up the chopper would involve worn knives and or other operator error OR a belt failure or other mechanical problems (or an inexperienced novice as an operator) . Unstopping would involve removing the inspection plate on the lH side and removing the slug and then I have had the distinct pleasure of poking a green slug out down the chute from here and the inside plate. I propose from conversations at the shop digging out a red or green one ain't no picnic either. Plus the fact a plug on one of these can cause serious secondary damage as well. As material exits the chopper the area swells dramatically so a slug doesn't have to be moved much. Crawling up the chute to remove a slug first is kind of like sending a proctologist to deliver a baby. Hyperizing - I would suggest you are talking about a particular verb or word here. I don't know what term others use but if you are the wise, experienced world traveler I deem you to be, you surely have heard of a 'specialty rotor' havn't youIJ Think Case thought that one up all by their lonesomeIJ Have you ever took a look at Mr. Gorden's home page hereIJ If you are ever at a show such as l'ville Farm Machinery Show look somewhere except up the rear of those guys in the matching shirts in the carpeted areas and down through the years you would have seen people making a pretty good living selling stuff to 'soup up' red and green and other machines. We have said many times the Silver Studs run pretty well right out of the box, especially now that a lot of the things we promote here are now standard or options on the current production machines. Not all people can afford the new stuff though, thus we offer the ability to make the old ones run with the new ones. Try that on some of the others. Ever heard of anyone making a '82 1420-40 run with a 9600 DeereIJ Why are there not more GleanersIJ n1Cause deere don't finance painted galvanized. n2Due to turmoil of ACDEUTZAllISAGCO dealer numbers took a hit. Takes dealers to sell iron.n3 Gleaner simply doesn't have the plant capacity to build to the numbers Case and Deere have in the past. In years past we have actually lost sales due to inavailablity; and we are not big dogs in the numbers market. This probably won't be a problem in the near future though, to gaining market share. Finally Gleaner didn't play the 'rollover' game like red and green, right wrong or indifferent.

You tell em boys. Have two R-62's and would not have it any

 

[Kurt]

What's going to be special about an R65IJIJIJIJIJIJ Kurt

 

[silverluv]

New cab design. Double acting cylinders on the steering

 

[roadfarmer]

hmmm worn knives low hours. toggle switchIJ swellingIJ I can tell you all about swelling try unplugging the elevator when it is about twice its size. It doesnt work and it causes down time. hyperizing how about a m2 keeping up with a (hyperized 52) specialty rotor yep know what that is been around one since 90 and low it still waiting on that hyperized 62 to be overhauled though. NFMS dont worry i'll be there and i hope to talk personally with the G guys. oh yea toggle switches why isnt it on the control armIJIJ

 

[still_galvanized]

Well put. I just love it when someone tells it like it is.
