My 90 year old uncle still farms and he still runs his N5 and N6 Gleaner out on his farm. I grew up around Gleaner Transverse Combines and I'll always prefer and refer them to any other brand. My most favorite will always be the R72.
If you run 40 ft. heads the extension is the best thing you can do to a Gleaner. Why Gleaner can't come from the factory with a long enough auger is a mystery to me.
We bought these combines a year ago and our farm has been running Gleaner since the 70's. I'm biased to Gleaner combines but they are all as good as the operator is. IMO
Simple combines that make a great sample that through over very little grain. They have a great cleaning system that no other combine has. Lighter weight for mud, in the past we ran just big tires up front and we could go just about anywhere. I should do a video on what is so different on a gleaner and why we prefer.
@@zcole6612 not sure, I would have preferred to do 1250 LSW or 1100 but that's not an option and rear wheel assist should be good enough. Do you know the price of case and deere tracks?
@@TwinElmFarms no I see used tracks in tractor house for sale and there was a set of 1250 Lsw on there off of a 9620R deere for sale in the classifieds

Great video Kendal and Darryl
Great idea with the longer unloading augers. Rear wheel assist will be a good long term investment. Enjoyed your video.
Yes, I look forward to putting the headers on and seeing the distance to grain cart
That's ingenius using the vacuum!
Double check the wheel nuts 🔩😊❤️👍🇦🇺
Good luck putting your extensions on your combines
After seeing the auger extension on the K2 gleaner, you thought the S98's needed them too. Good thinking
Lol,
Do the S98 gleaners have a folding hopper
Yes a button in the cab

Not sure if it makes a difference on the S series gleaners but the M3 with rear wheal assist is like having an extra range on the hydrostatic
When rear wheel assist is engaged it decreases the speed of the combine about 15%
We have been told to always have rear wheel engaged. Fuel use will be even lower. We have never had rear wheel, we just always used big floater tires.
What year did you buy gleaner combine and which combine is best for farmers

What concaves are you running on the gleaner
Agco factory with I believe large wire.
What made you choose Gleaner over other brands?

You keep checking up and down for straightness. Better run an edge down the side also
I did...
Holy cow that is expensive for tracks .
That's in Canadian funds but yes still very expensive.
@@TwinElmFarms is the bolt pattern different than deere or Case ?
