2024 Harper, Kansas Wheat Harvest 1

Harvesting the 2024 winter wheat crop near Harper, Kansas with a 1976 Allis-Chalmers Gleaner F Combine with 18 foot header.

The wheat crop was a bit below average, but not the worst. We will try again next year.

I hope you enjoy.

Cool to see these Gleaners still in service! I was a kid in the 80s and my grandpa and uncle had one of these, and a 7020. Spent lots of hours in both of them.

Hada Gleaner E. Awesome little machine. Loved combining wheat.

Started out with a Gleaner G, brought back some good memories, less stress and expenses keeping that ol girl in the field that how things are now! I think I spent less the whole time I ran that thing than I do yearly now. They can sure clean that wheat can't they!

Back in the early 2000’s I was on the harvest run and we used to cut around Harper and Norwich area…it was like a step back in time in some ways seeing all the older machines and trucks….i really enjoyed that area….great people!! But always muddy lol….it was like the harvest crews are here so let’s just rain 10 inches lol!

That old gleaner seems to do a good job cleaning . I always wanted a diesel F when I first started out, but in this part of north east Oklahoma there wasn’t any real support as far as parts go. In the 80s they were still commanding a pretty high price. Nice work and video!

I like music but the sounds of the machine would’ve been better

[TammyThurmond]

Goes to show people that everbody dont need a 40 foot header just to farm lol
