- 2021 Wheat Harvest near Lone Wolf Oklahoma
Video I filmed on the evening of June 5, 2021 near Lone Wolf Oklahoma. I'm out in the field with Stegman Harvesting from Spearville Kansas as they are custom harvesting wheat for a local farmer. In the video I talk about the equipment used and a little history on the area. I have a few more videos from the area as I spent the weekend in this area filming various farming videos for my TH-cam channel.
This channel makes me realize the agricultural bounty we have as a nation. Truly "amber waves of grain"
Great looking equipment. Really like the black wheels on the versatile.
Good to see Gleaner is still in the line up.
Nice footage. I did the wheat harvest summer of 1985 right after I graduated from college. My inspiration was the old National Geographic article from around 1970. My crew was out of Pond Creek, OK but the first stop was down in El Dorado, OK across the river from Quanah, TX. A lot of memories from that summer.
Looks like the big silvers are MOVIN!
The black rims look awesome/best. Great video, thank you for sharing/posting.
We are about 3 weeks away from wheat harvest here in southern Michigan. Dad and I just received our 2 new to us gleaner s98 combines ours are on tracks We farm over 8500 acres and custom farm for others as well. We decided to trade in our 2 s680 johndeere combines for the gleaners . We used to run them back years ago but we switched to deere for capacity in the early 2000s but now the s series gleaners can keep up just fine. When we first looked into the gleaners we tested a gleaner s98 along side a 9870sts johndeere and the gleaner did very well. We will run the 2 gleaners along with a 9870sts johndeere and all the combines will run 40 foot gerinhof truflex razor heads. Gleaners are lightweight simple and provide a great grain sample . We added extensions to the unload augers and we upgraded the concaves and straw choppers for extra capacity. Great video keep up the good work and stay safe!
Always have ran gleaner, you got pictures of yours on tracks?
@@TwinElmFarms no pictures. My family is really uptight about pictures and videos for security and privacy reasons . I wanted to make a channel a few years back but I have to respect their feelings. We think the tracks are going to help especially in the fall when we harvest our double crop soybeans We tend to harvest double crop soybeans into mid November and mudd can be an issue due to the freeze and thaw . We had to special order the tracks and then install them they are 30 inch camso tracks . Take care!
@@anthonybanda8192 I totally respect that, I started doing videos but been leery about it. I always love to see what guys have modified on the gleaner. I will be posting in a couple weeks some of our modifying we have done that have really improved.
What concaves did you put in
@@walterwurz5898 Estes high performance concaves. We have had very good luck with them especially in soybeans . We can run at a higher ground speed and threash the grain more efficiently. They can be pricey but we have ran them for over 10 years now with great results.
Oklahoma is gorgeous.
Yes sir Mike, those black rims change the whole look of the tractor. Very cool or stealth like you could say.👍👍😁
My family farms out of Lone Wolf Oklahoma.... Last year we had stegman cut for us, but we didn't get to them this year... They do a real good job tho. The farmer he is cutting for does a good job of farming as well
Thank you for your videos Mike Less you are the best
Great video Mike and I really like the black rims on the Versatile. Looks awesome that way
Good Morning from New Zealand, thanks for your great Mike Less video, Thank you for sharing have a great week
Thanks for sharing you videos Mike I think they are very educational, I love watching them, from liverpool UK.
Keep the videos coming. I grew up on a farm but left to take a job in the airline industry. I enjoy watching and keeps my love for farming close. Checked you in at Columbus, OH. while flying to your next destination. Come back and make some videos from central Ohio.
Love this Video of Gleaner Combines. Glad to see more AGCO Brands in your Videos. Keep up the Great Work that you do. I like the Factory Cream Color on the Tractor. Black rims on anything dont look Good to me.
versatile looks to have that rockwell "swinger"front axle . herd a lot of good things about them
Is the model related to the NH 8x70? Supersteer and the cab looks quite similar.
you hear good things while they still work. lots of the blocks around my place have the smaller vineyard tractors with the Supersteer they have a horrible habit of braking after some time they really like to eat bearings on the main pivot and there mainly on New Holland so its extra shit. the work shop next to my block has the same 3 New Hollands with the Supersteer come in every year after harvest needing lots of shit to be fixed. most tractors can turn just a well with out the fancy Supersteer these days.
Mike I really enjoyed this video a lot of great shots. Really like it when you get up close on the machinery keep up the good work
Living in Iowa my whole life it’s hard to think of “harvest” in June. Great video Mike!
Great shots of awesome sunsets.
Another great Gleaner video Mike. Keep the awesome Agco content coming.
Very nice Mike, beautiful plains.
The gleaners look pretty sweet thanks for another great video mike
I think that Versatile cab roof could use a big 3' X 3' Farmhand Mike sticker. It sure would make my day to see that from above... Thanks again Mike - Great stuff.
Grand harvest-video!
Thank you very much for sharing! 😊👍🏻
Tractor rims look awesome Mike
Great video keep them coming .l love the custom harvesting
50 years ago this summer I worked on a dry farm in southeast Idaho. the farmer I worked for had a Gleaner I don't remember the model but a mid 60's with an 80 bushel tank and a 16" head. I would catch 3 bins on the go in a 68 chev 2 1/2 ton and race to the bin. I had 20 min to get back and catch the next dump. great times.
Hellooo!! From the Girl who runs that very, Concrete Elevator in Lone Wolf!!!
💞💞
Howdy from Colorado Springs. My Dad, who grew up in Lone Wolf, sent this video to me just now. He was born in 1941 and did wheat harvest as a teenager. He said this footage brought a tear to his eye and a whole lot of great memories. I spent many a summer vacations in Lone Wolf. Take care, Brett
Crikey even our little villages each have about 4x as many people as Lone Wolf.
Rims wise I'm unsure about the black phase that seems to be going on I prefer the ory colour scheme including on other makes though I did see a nice looking burnished titanium paint job or wrap on a Valtra that looked nice
I am a linesman for the county....
Nice video as always
Nice to see the Gleaners going
For a moment there when I saw the tracks getting dark from dampness in the field I thought I hope they don't get stuck lol. Its amazing to see how big these combines are especially w the headers they use. But when you see the acreage they harvest they definitely need it.
Great video Mike
Awesome & powerful machine 🤠
Very sharp looking tractor!!
Very very nice mike
I like that Versatile tractor.
Had to check this out when I saw the Gleaners to see if it was the crew we get. Its not, but I found it interesting this crew harvests at Hay Springs, NE, as that is only about 50 miles from us.
A cold one in my hand and a Farmhand Mike AG Video on the screen - perfect Monday evening to me gents!
Damn how fast is he cutting that wheat at they're running faster then the john deere combines
Tractor looks SWEET!!
Those black rims are very nice...should put them on more of their tractors
The rims look badass, they should paint the rims on the grain cart aswell
Those gleaners sound cool.
I used to live near here, about seven miles away in Hobart, Oklahoma. It's weird seeing this tiny part of Oklahoma on TH-cam lol
Great awesome video mike, go gleaner
Great video Mike. Don't care for the black rims. But I'm no fashionista of tractor colors! But it is a good looking tractor with or without black wheels.
white wheels are history. sure wouldn't want the grain cart operator to be green. thanks mike. ashtabula county wheat just started to turn last week, if you know where that country is.
Gleaner combines look so cool👍😁
Love the silver
They use to be a lot of Allis Chalmers & Gleaners around my part of the country, but every one has went to john Deere now
That is a very nice sunset ! Since the combine is unloading 4 bushel / second, grain cart a lot more… how much is the cutter head getting in/ second or they are not rating them like that?
Hello Mike. I think the black rims on that 305 versatile looks really good. Those guys driving them gleaners sure aren't cutting them any slack. How many acres are they getting a day Mike? Great video. I really enjoyed watching.
Ótimo vídeo , seu trabalho é top demais , equipamentos muito bons , agora achei que operadores estão entrando nos talhões e fazendo muito bagunça , não estou dizendo que eles são ruins talvez tenha uma explicação para eles deixar tantos arremates a fazer posteriormente
This is awesome my home town crew
Now you need to run across a fendt harvest crew and you will have them all.
Not a black rim guy.....but back when AC owned Gleaner, I thought the combines looked sharp with orange rims....
I found a newer Gleaner last summer that they painted the rims orange and I thought it looked pretty good. I posted a picture of it on my Instagram.
Wikipedia claims Hobart gets 26 inches of precipitation each year. Seems on the wetter years there would be some double cropping and especially when grain prices are high. Certainly looks like enough soil moisture to get a good start to milo or beans.
Dont care what color the rim is. Just want a tractor that don't break down.
Awesome machines 😊👍
More of Less, is a great week. 👍👍's up.
The black rims do look 😎
I bet there is a Braums out there…. Ryan, OK is home of Chuck Norris, he makes the happy meal cry.
Gotta drive to Tuttle which is closer to OKC to get to see a braums dairy farm.
To get an idea of scale, how far the mountains from the 2nd field? Very cool video and beautiful country. Nice job.
They cut for a friend of mine here in Goodland KS......
Good work
The unloading auger needs to be 15 feet longer. SHOP TIME...
MAKE THAT A QUICK UPDATE!!!
LOL
Them rims aint bad and I think they look good on it.
I still use a L2 Gleaner but I don’t have that big of a operation maybe 800 acres.
05:05 that moment when you end your work and have to get the rest of the harvest that courseplay has missed
👍👍Mike from oklahoma
These big combines & others just like it need the Goodyear LSW tires.
There are some great trophy elk hunting in those mountains if you are lucky enough to draw a tag.
Lightweight 4wd but very capable of chewing through crops. Gleaner has a lot of upside
Gleaner "L"....we had one back in the day....sure don't miss that thing. :)
If it was bad then I can only imagine how bad the other brands were, Gleaner was the best thing going back in those days.
@@gleanerman2195 Yeah they were the cats ass when they first came out but when the axial flow rotors showed up straw walkers were done. We had a straw walker let go within the first 50' of cutting one day...found a used one in Indiana, had to drive 5 hours to go get it..take it out and 5 hours driving back . Put it in, went another 50 yards and another walker let go. Called it a day.....we had cut about 20 bushel of beans. :)
@@rayjupina6719 We ran 5 M,s and M2's and like 15 L2"s from '75 -'92, they were very reliable combines and yes there was an occasional straw walker but rare.
@@gleanerman2195 We must have had a lemon then because it was at least a yearly occurrence. That and bearings. Our nickname for the thing was "Gleaner the bearing eater." Thing is we couldn't afford to go through as many machines as you did. We had one "L" for at least 15 seasons. We are a small farm though....less than 1,000 acres.
After that we rented an R-50 for one season and then we went red. I'm sure the new machines are great....just no one here in northern Ohio runs them....dealers are few and far between.
Guess I am too much old school. Kind of like cases Construction equipment. Do you not like the black wheels
I like them
I like Mike less videos.
Why was the combine missing wheat on every turn? The front wheels on the Versatile reminds me of a New Holland. Great video and narration as usual.
Waiting on that answer. I can't see a pro outfit doing that without some reason.
When you cut round and round a field its generally quicker to just turn and leave the corner and clean the corners up at the end especially with multiple combines in the same field
welcome to lone wolf
Good ole meaner cleaner gleaner combines
Black rims mean machine!
Did this ground average 60 bu.??
👍👍
Might should black out the wheels on the cart to match the tractor?
Mike the very nice versatile
Gleaner the beast mony making combine on the market. IF IT ISN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT.😝😝😝 ( YES I'M FROM TEXAS BUT OKLAHOMA HAS SOME PRETTY COUNTRY, thay just keep it to themselves ) 🌄🇺🇸🎆
Nice video. Not sure if we will have a harvest here in western Nebraska this year.
Fingers crossed!
@@farmhandmike if we do have harvest you swing by and get my 8820 going around.
A big no to the black versatile wheels
does that out fit have a semi loaded with parts tools etc to travel with the equipment ???
What year are the gleaners. Didn’t know they still made stuff
Great video like the looks of the black rims..are you going to be around Pratt Kansas this year for wheat harvest?
Thanks but probably not going to make Pratt this year for wheat harvest.
I'm wondering two things. Are yields down compared with years past, and are you being coerced by the fed to destroy your crops and claim subsidies?
No one wants to raise a crop just to destroy it intentionally, and crop insurance payments are less than what you'd make off of a good crop, there is no incentive to purposely destroy a crop
Mike, what is the widest header you have experienced on a Gleaner.
These bois are hauling ass !!!wonder what the yield and losses are
How do the companies transport the combines? Obviously driving from field to field during harvest is feasible, but what do they do when they need to go longer distances?
Lowboy trailers behind a semi
Mike i wonder if you know why more custom cutters don't use the sripper heads. I hear you can cut at a higher speed and they make a cleaner product?
They use them more in certain areas
Most want the stubble chopped and lower..that ground will be reseeded with Milo or something else then replanted to wheat in the fall..
You need a combine driver?
The grain cart must drive scary close the header. And unloading auger seems very short and flimsy on these Gleaners.
But great video as always!
Flimsy? No, not at all.
We run the same, except j&m grain cart leaner side, no problems. Make fun of the auger all you want, they are solid and no 90° bends
The margin of error between the header and tractor is very fine (narrow) (close). Lol
How do they get the combines to the next job? Do they load them on semi's?
low boy trailer and which is indeed pulled by a semi.
