Myths vs Facts of the Gleaner Transverse Combine

Whether it be a 1979 N-Series or a brand new S9, Gleaner has stayed true to its Natural Flow design. Providing the simplest, lightest weight, and most efficient combine on the market for the best return on investment for the farmer has always been the goal. Watch this video to learn the secrets to how Gleaner does it and put to bed the myths circulating the Gleaner transverse combine.

Nice video. Dont forget to point out that if you are unloading on the go and end up in a washout, the Gleaner swivel is the only unloader system that can "escape" the cart. With a turret you need to be quick on the brakes, and need to back up the combine and the cart at the same time to get separated.

That and many other reasons make it the king of rough terrain.

Good to see someone is considering the guy who has to work on it.

We have a had 3 gleaner combines loved them all easy to fixes nearly no losses out the back less than 1/4 bushels loss nobody around use with other colors can come close to that when get 0 dockage at the local elevator u set it right and Ave the right guy in the set it the best machine u will every run

We had 4 Gleaners in the past. Three had the big V8 Deutz air cooled, the last one I owned had the little 8.3 Cummins . Overall in 25 years of running them, we liked the clean grain sample, and the fuel efficiency of the Deutz air cooled engines. However, we always swathed our wheat into a 50 foot swath. The Gleaner just couldn’t spread it that far. About 35 feet was the max spread, most of it to the left side. Although they could really cover ground when they were running, we had a lot of break downs over the years. When we lost our dealer in our area, we transitioned to Cr 960 and later to a CR 8090 New Holland combines. Never looked back. The NH doesn’t do the hopper job the Gleaner did, but they have been relatively trouble free . We have been using New Holland combines since 2006. Love them!😊

I was born and raised in a country area I was 7 years old. Long story short, my trade is in quality engineering and advanced mechanical problem solving and root cause analysis. I do not understand farming, but I do understand machines. Based on what I've seen in this video, we need more of this! This is how things are supposed to be made, to last period. Simple efficient designs will always be more reliable, robots and repeatable for many years. I am speaking blindly about this and now will have to go research their RMPPM against competitors as well.

Worked with them all and Gleaner is the best and simplest!

I cut with a s680 deere this fall in the same conditions in the same fields. He ran a 35 ft. macdon and I had a 40 ft. 9255. The S88 was abought 15% better in capacity in the clean beans, but when we it the tough conditions it was no contest, after he almost plugged the rotor several times he pulled out and got back in the clean beans. He couldn't believe how I could still run 4 mph and never look back. He admitted that the Gleaner kicked the deere's ass.

I grew up in logging country where the KISS principles rule. Easy to fix. Easy to maintain. Cost effective and reliable. First time I saw a big silver Gleaner combine I said what is that? After a closer look, I can’t believe anyone buys the other ones. Marketing over logic but glad to see them approaching 100 years!

[miguelvalenzuelaherrera]

hello. Why hasn't this combination been sold in Mexico lately? greetings.

Pound for pound you can't beat a Gleaner for your money, smart design, belts instead of hydro drives use much less energy and you know everything is turning at the proper speed with belts as long as they aren't slipping. Relatively easy to work on as well. And I do love the way they look.

[juanitosully]

Now that a Gleaner, she"s a lookin' good. Lookin' good.

[billbright]

A proven track record.
Production not problems.
Full weight of customer support lines.
High grain recovery efficiency percentages and fuel economies.
From field to grainery, the most cost effective machines in the business.

Is there a way to make the head centered to the combine? We’re looking to switch our combine and our main concern is how the grain cart won’t be able to follow the combine tracks since the head isn’t centered. I heard there was a “ridge till kit” but we couldn’t find anything on the internet.

[dschefers]

I like the concept, but some of the material doesnt get two rotations before hitting the grates.

[interman]

I bet changing that top feederhouse chain would be fun.

[redbovine]

The fendt ideal combines look beautiful.

[massimopecile]

The first problem in combine for me its the chain of the feader, how can you do maintenance daily on the second one?

[warrenpost]

They need to redesign their rear end so we don't keep breaking spindles.

[alan]

Kind of hard to take that thing into the shop every time you need it repaired. I guess you send mechanics out to farms if the farmer cannot fix it himself.
