Those were a couple exceptionally clean combines. I liked the L3 the best it still looked like new.
They take great care of their stuff. That L3 is pretty low hour if I remember correctly.
Looks like fun, I haven't run a combine for years. Massey Harris ,Super 92 ,or JD 55. I always wanted to go out with a custom combine crew ,but I never did. 😊
Best summer job I ever had was working on a custom harvest crew. We'd leave our hometown in the OK Panhandle the day after school was out and go to Frederick, OK, then back to our hometown, Hooker, OK and be in Burlington, CO by 4th of July. We liked Burlington because it was cooler and cooled off at night. We had Gleaner C-IIs and Gs.
I still use a G gleaner and a 95 John Deere looking good guys be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Glad to hear somebody is still using them.
Excellent video, great content, love those classic Gleaners and your commentary, watching this from thr UK 🏴🇬🇧✌️
Much appreciated!
Grew up running a ‘58 A Gleaner in central Ks. Dad eventually bought a JD 95. Looks like good wheat.
Best we’ve had in this area in years.
Nice video.
The head on the R62 sounds like the cross auger in-feed finger guide cam and followers could use some TLC. Lots of clanging from it.
Pretty normal issue. A lot of us ignore that.
@@nielsdybro9759 I was thinking the same thing. It sounded pretty loud, but I wasn’t sure if it was that, or the way the microphone was picking it up..really sensitive. I once rebuilt a pick up reel that sounded similar on one of mine.
Nice footage, and combines. They sound great. The audio also sounds good. Enjoyed the video, thank you
Thank you very much!
That is an beautiful L3
It truly is. Nicest one I’ve been near.
good video of the gleaner combines
Thanks 👍
Have told the story about the silver seeder? My custom harvester neighbor got home from wheat harvest , told me this. A fellow wanted to be a custom harvester , he bought gleaner combine. Ask a farmer can I help you harvest? The farmer said yes! The fellow made a round the field. The farmer got on the combine looked in the grain bin , ask the fellow this. Did you adjust this combine? The fellow said this I have to adjust it!!! (Cylinder concave machines) Show this to the people running the combines!!!!
Thanks for sharing
Always enjoyed running those L series. Sometimes regret selling that last one but it just couldn't handle 8 rows of modern corn production. Then came R60, and now running stripper headers in cereal on 8780xp Massey and A86 Silver Massey. Great video!
A guy could still cut a lot of wheat in a day with two L3s and 24’ platforms.
Gran video gracias por compartir y bonitas maquinas gleaner aqui en mexico un vecino tenia un gleaner M2 pero no pudo conseguir refacciones y lo chatarrizo ahorita tiene 7720 titan
TT,
I like the older un styled L series better. I would bet the newer machines have much better capacity and technology. Nice video, Boe
Hard not to love an L series Gleaner
We ran 4 Massey 550s in the 80s cutting wheat in N.C Kansas
That’s a lot to keep running.
@@tmonteIH Good Times
@@tmonteIH I used to haul cows with a guy by Tmonte
Those Gleaner L's still getter done! They had 40% of the combine market back in their day. Hell of a good wheat crop, here at Diller Ne I didn't have any but the neighbors 2 fields made 86 and 90bu/acre.
That’s some darn good wheat!
Gleaner makes a really good combine. In my area they were the rule. We had some neighbors that had Oliver. Man that R62 is makin a banging noise. The straw must be a little tough.
It’s the header making that noise.
great looking combines
I think so too!
I use to work for allis chalmers and mostly worked on gleaner combines. Have been on many harvests with the combines that were in testing. The L series in my opinion was the best combine gleaner has made 😊
I’m with you.
We had an L3, loved listening to that engine run.
Me too.
@@tmonteIH What's the engine in the L3?
N6 was a dream machine for me 630 corn header and a 20foot bean header but land got crazy in my area I love watching the L series
I’ve never been near an N series. Would like to mess with one.
Beautiful machines and some nice looking wheat. What was the yield?
Didn’t ask. Wouldn’t share it here if I knew.
Gleaner does it cleaner😊
Yes it does!
Beautiful Kansas wheat. What was the bpa?
Never asked. Wouldn’t have shared if I did know.
Good wheat is always easier to harvest than wheat that has been hailed on or was sparse. Really hated cutting wheat that was laid down.
You need a 24 ft head for the 860 and show the old L3 who’s the boss of the early 80’s wheat fields.
Very, very tempting
S central ks actually. Alameda is sw of wichita.
Not quite. Almena is in NW Kansas. I would know. I live there.
wish i could come out there with my small square baler and bale some straw
You don’t see much straw baled around here. Try to leave as much residue as possible.
There's no wheat in heads if there was should stand up slowly when wind blows
Allegedly
