- 1970's advertisement for the N Series (N5 and N6) Allis Chalmers Gleaner Rotary Combines from a Demo Pak machine which was used by dealers before VHS. Its basically a narrated slide show.
I don't know why but these old gleaner ads have such groovy music, it's been stuck in my head all day.
Rode in them as A kid in early 80s. Man them N series Gleaner were ahead of there time. I loved looking at all them tattle tale lights. They had A great sound to them. My favorite combine to this day.
We have a r72 and one tatle tale beeped non stop for no reason so my dad made me tape the little tatle tale speaker but it still was loud
Grew up on the farm with N6's and 7's. Now days we are running S77's and 8's. Truly remarkable the how different they are, yet still very much the same. Good things stay good.
Neighbor up the road use to custom harvest with two N-6s and an N-7 only ones around our area. Always thought the transvers Rotary was a superior design to the Longitudinal Rotary in IH and now Deere combines.
The N series Gleaner combines look way ahead of their time
thanks for the video. Ran a N7 back in the 90's on some really steep hills in washington. It was great on them
We had 5 of them they were great combined there was not a combine that compete to them they were clean trashes 2 steps ahead of all other combines
Love these classic videos, thanks for posting.
Even the d21 Ellis Chalmers you could not find a tractor like that out there that was an amazing tractor the 5010 John Deere don't even come close in my knee the allis Chalmers d21 was the only way to go
Those look great! I dig these demos. Wish somebody would make an N model for Farming Simulator 22. And a better M.
Learned to drive combine on an N6. I loved how easy to operate they are
I learned on an n5. Couldn't get 5 feet without breaking down. Told dad I was gonna blow my brains out over that combine, among other junk we had. One day I tried but mom pushed the gun away at last second. Got a fractured skull and dad still fixing a gleaner. True story. Yes, gleaners are that bad.
I learned two years ago on my in-laws' M and N series combines. The hour counters stopped working years ago but the combines are reliable.
I have to add, getting them into and out of gear can be a pain at times.
Fine combines 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That explains a lot I love it.
I started out as Kid running a A model combine 12 ft header whent to a C2 14 ft header then to G 16ft header then to a L2 24 ft header used it for several years until got out of farmer then sold it and it whent to the Canada boarder.
My grandpa had a G and CII
Man I find it sad we don't really have Gleaner in Europe. I'd love to check them out! However, width restrictions just don't make it possible to have such a combine design over here..
I think they are narrower than the axial rotaries....or according to my trailer they are anyways
😍😍😍😍
We run S88's now with 40 ft. dynaflex heads, each one will do what 4 N7's could do, they are amazing, the N's, not so much.
I miss the old orange company. Growing up we had a D17 IV, 185, 190xt and 8030.
The one thing I caught from the video when they were talking about the operator controls was the throttle and "choke" position. Hmm, I never knew that they offered a gas engine in the N series.
DD2 I think the choke they are referring to is for the cleaning fan.
It's constant speed, so intake air is "choked" to regulate flow.
RedIron1066 We still run an N7. You are correct on the fan choke. Less moving parts than everybody else's variable speed fans.
erienwhite I sat a lot of hours in an N-7. Shelled a lot of corn, and cut a lot of milo.
Hourmeter quit around 4500 hours and kept it going 6-7 years after. Finally started having big pieces of the cage break out, and it was beyond shot.
Remember schooling a brand new 9600 Deere with it in milo.
Salesman quit trying when that happened!
@@RedIron1066 My in-laws are running an M series and an N series combine. I know the hour counters on both of them failed a long time ago.
What the farm I worked on ha 1982. Amazing machine and a real fire hazard if you had a bearing freeze up as a neighbor farmer of ours had. Replacing a beater bar was a real job and why you did not want to overload the thresher cage.
GLEANER: "ALL THE WAY FOR USA"
They shouldn't have bagged out IHC ,they were the best imho.
Had an N6 , worst combine we ever had and the last Gleaner . Switched to Deere man what a difference!
series 3? Also at that time that would mean you went backwards
Just brings a shiver to my spine watching this video and thinking how many customers they lost and how many custom cutters they lost or went broke because of these combines. If you read the PAMI report the break downs during the test list was 4 times longer for the N6 then either the JD 8820 and IH 1480. Gleaners were popular around here until the N series. Our normal custom cutter at the time Tupper out of Kansas ran Gleaners starting with the Gs and it was the N series they broke him. Finished his career with JD. We had another custom cutter with a N7 try to cut for us one year. Whatever concave setup Gleaner used it would not work in our solid stem wheat and just kept plugging. The cutter tried everything even to the point of removing the cage sweep. Finally he was doing such a poor job we finally told him to go pound sand and that was the last time a Gleaner cut on our farm. Gleaner should have kept the N series off the market for another 2 or 3 years. Should have sent maybe 100 combines on the harvest run. Revaluate them after the run, fix the flaws, send 100 more then next year and do the same thing again until its right. The design was/is good. Just poor execution.
Solid stem wheat? What kind of wheat is that?
everyone had trouble with their rotary, just Gleaner gets picked on the most. see the feeder house argument.
The N series combines that are still around are pretty reliable.
I was raised on a farm. We purchased an N6 with 20 ft header at the start of wheat harvest. The best ground speed I could get was 3.5 to 4 mph before the cylinder began violently shaking or the cage sweep stopped causing slip clutch to slip. Unhooked the cage sweep and the shaking persisted. Long story short, AC technician discovered some of the cylinder bars were reversed at the exit end of the cage causing a buildup of straw, etc. The error was fixed and the N6 was a beast from then on.
The N6 was junk. The N5 and N7 was better machines
