My family grew up on gleaner combines, and we still are using them today. Gleaners are arguably the most underrated combine on the market. Love that 12 row corn head. It’s just eating up that corn. Residue management looks really good. More people need to give gleaner a look. Best combine on the market in my book.
So Kirkman and Irwin, dang haven’t heard those names in years! Played ball again those towns back in the day. That’s sure a good looking farm and crop he’s busting out there. Love to see more Western Iowa farming footage! Used to farm a bunch all over Pottawattamie and Harrison Counties.
Hilly country, no problem for the Gleaner all other makes have to have self leveling shoes, not the Gleaner just pore the coals and let her eat. Best combine made.
Are there choppers on the underside of the corn head? The residue looks so even, I've never seen such a clean field after the combine, then maybe it's the silver monster - that machine didn't slow down once. Great video Mike as always. A great way to start the day!
Makes more sense to me if the header has choppers underneath ,I know some argue that they take a lot of power ,but then so does a batwing mower afterwards and an extra pass with a heavy tractor,surely when faced with compaction issues it must be a no brained to have this equipment
That would be your neighbor just to the west when you cross the river mick. I don’t know where folks get that idea but Iowa is far from flat! There aren’t any mountains but these rolling hills full of corn, beans, wheat , and alfalfa is one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen and it’s constantly changing so you always have a different view unlike living in say the Colorado mountains (which are absolutely gorgeous by the way) but you will basically have the same view 3 months from now that you have today, and I like seeing that change especially on rolling hills!! I lived in Oxford, Iowa for many years. Oxford is 8 miles west of Coralville/Iowa City just off of I-80. My home set atop a ridge and was surrounded by 3,000 acres of rolling hills just like these in the video. When I stood on my back deck, the only thing I would see is corn fields just like these and down to my right as I looked at the fields there was a tree line that ran thru the field in the valley where two rolling hills came together and it acted as a waterway but at the end of the field I could see a 50 yard stretch of I-80 and I would use that as an indicator of how bad the roads were in the winter by how fast the truckers were going. I drove to Cedar Rapids for work and my wife would go to the hospital in Iowa City. Her trip usually wasn’t to bad once we made the one mile trip from home to the interstate on the non maintained county road but I-80 was usually pretty good but once I would head north on I-380 to head up to Cedar Rapids it was another story! Lol. They kept I-80 pretty clean because of the hospitals but get away from there a few miles and your thanking the truck engineers for having good four wheel drive designs to put in the trucks cause you were gonna need it! Sorry, I got off topic Mick. I love Iowa and miss it something awful! But once you cross the river on the western border, you don’t have to travel too may miles from what I recall before the terrain goes from the rolling hills of Iowa to a flat as a pancake landscape. I wonder if folks are getting us and Nebraska mixed up or what but Iowa is far from flat!! Take care mick, be safe out there brother!!
we were thinking about trading our 3000 series head for a 3300 series. How do you like it? how is it on head shell? trash intake. What moisture corn is this?
Good morning. The terraces, are they for soil erosion ? I live in the North East Thanks. Really enjoy your videos. Like the sound of the big equipment without being drowned out by music

we love ours
Nothing beats Agco. Love seeing your videos 👍
What a great way to start my Saturday morning. Hot cup of coffee & a Farmhand Mike Fall 2020 harvest video! Thanks Mike, look forward to many more.
I'm drinking coffee and reading the comments. Thinking about what video to edit next.
Love the Gleaner
Looks like they were on the edge of that wind storm that went through last August. Nice to see a harvest video again.
Thanks for recognizing and respecting the cattle guys....
Like I said in the video I love seeing the cattle out there grazing in the corn stalks.
So Kirkman and Irwin, dang haven’t heard those names in years! Played ball again those towns back in the day. That’s sure a good looking farm and crop he’s busting out there. Love to see more Western Iowa farming footage! Used to farm a bunch all over Pottawattamie and Harrison Counties.
Cleaner with a Gleaner! Silver fleet!
Kinda miss the orange wheels on the Gleaner when AC was parent company..(back in the 70's).....
This is the Perfect Video. Great to see AGCO Brand Tractors & Gleaner combines in one Field. You are the Man to get to Video these Great Machines .
Awesome video Mike!! I grew up on a farm in NW Ohio and that is all we ran was Gleaner and Versatile! Thanks!
Thank you Mike. Beautiful video. Completely different farmland than where I am. Those terraces are interesting to see. Two thumbs up 👍👍😁
Great video Mike. The rolling hills make for a good backdrop.
One of best farming channels on youtube. 👍 I like to watch american farming.(i'm from central europe)
Greetings everyone, chiming in to watch this video from Central Illinois. Not a farmer, probably would sure have liked to try it.
How did that gleaner run???...losing anything out the back??...the more we look them over the more we like the setup compared to our green ones
Gleaners get a lot of bad press but they do an awesome job.
Hands-down the best combine for side land hills. The transverse rotor system on those, really shines on those terrace conditions.
As good of combine as you can buy. Out run a Deere any day.
Deere man myself. Have brother in laws that design and build the combines at Hesston. Looking more and more that way every year
Hilly country, no problem for the Gleaner all other makes have to have self leveling shoes, not the Gleaner just pore the coals and let her eat. Best combine made.
Great video Mike, awesome scenery. I live about 2 hours north of Irwin in NW Iowa.
Love seeing the larger massey tractor in the field
Thanks for the great video Mike, drone work especially 👍👍👍👍
🖒 loving the silver
Awesome drone-shots!
Thanx a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Your drone shots are always great😁👍 the scenery looks awesome, nice to see harvest action there👍😉
Thanks 👍
Cool. Looks to be pretty hilly.
Great video Mike. Nice country out there. Different unload auger on that Gleaner.
And for good reason, fast, simple, smooth and quiet, the best design made.
The best unloading setup in the industry bar none!
Nice to see there is AGCO combines an tractors in the world, I thought there was just John Deree. Lol
Another great video 😎😍😀

Gleaner all the way!
Thank you Mike👍👍
Hello from Estherville!!!
Saludos mike buen trabajo
Good job body
Great job on the videos. How’s the versatile combine do I don’t see very many of those.
Look how flat IA isn't. LOL (I'm from SW IA and get a little tired of all the people that say that IA is flat.) good video

Hi Mike! Is that a simple walking tandem on that grain cart or some gearing business like a JD Roll o matic on there? Great video,BTW
Thanks, Walking Tandem.
Well Done Mike from oklahoma
Western iowa girl right here
Great video, - hardly ever see Gleaners in any US videos - why.? Here in the UK I have never seen one at all, - old or new.
You are not looking in the right places, there are lots of them out there.
Mike you sure know how to make a good video

Good morning.
The terraces, are they for soil erosion ?
I live in the North East
Thanks.
Really enjoy your videos. Like the sound of the big equipment without being drowned out by music
Thanks and yes the terraces are for erosion control.
Cows be looking at the drone saying what kind of bird is that lol.
is this DT currently for sale at auction in Iowa?
Does Versatile still sell combines in North America?
No I don't believe so.
Hi Mike what is the reason for the offset wheels on the trailer?
Its a walking tandem design for a smoother ride.
👍👍👍👍
My apologies, Mike, I addressed you as Mark.
Goo USA !. Get THAD MONEY AMERICA !.
Habajo la PANDEMIA !.
The absurd alloy intuitively laugh because persian hooghly use within a tasteless lock. hulking, nappy step-son
I always got to stop and watch a Gleaner video 📹
