- These were both on the same tape so I figured Id upload them together. The Heritage Lives On covers the history of Allis Calmers up to the formation of
AGCO in 1990. Partners For Tomorrow is a quick overview of the full AGCO line for 1992 including White, Deutz Allis, and AGCO Allis tractors, Gleaner Series 2 rotary combines and Hesston hay equipment.
I told my wife we could watch a double feature tonight but she rolled her eyes when I shared these movies 😄.
Interesting to hear the whole loyalty thing being preached about dealers. When most of those machines did not stick around but a few years . I always thought that Agco could have made a decent tractor between the Original Allis and the White line and then just filled in with deutz for under 120 horse. And even kept the big 4w allis tractors with Cummins or Cat power as a nice part of the line. A good friend was a dealer and kept Allis line up until the phase out of the Orange Agcos . He went to New Holland and Kept the Gleaner line til Agco got pissed and took it then he just signed on with Case . Ran Gleaner out of the area since he was about 30 minutes from East Moline. in his 1st year he traded 40 gleaners into Axial Flows
Should forward a copy of this to the AGCO management, seeing how they swear up and down that AGCO does not stand for Allis Gleaner Company
Deutz dropping the 8000 series line, painting the 9000 series Green when they first came out, and dropping the conventional Gleaner combines at least four years early really hurt them. I know several guys who loved the conventional combines but wanted nothing to do with the rotary combines especially after the N series. Our local dealer painted several 9000 series green tractors orange because some customers would not buy the green colored tractors. We demoed a green 9190 Deutz Allis that had been painted orange by the dealer. I really liked the 6250 we had but I think they just pushed the German design/body style a little to quickly on American customers. We never had any issues with the Deutz engines in combines but a lot of guys where glad when the Cummins came out as an option.
Thanks Ethan, I remember those Days in the 90's with all those colors n changes...
I growed up during this time. I was around the M,M2, L3,R40,50,R60,R52,R62, and R72 Gleaner combines of this time. We use to run two different AC 7000 tractors, a Deutz Allis 6250fwa, and a 9150FWA tractor. Good times
Watching from Ireland. Brilliant video. Didn’t realise it was Allis Gleaner, in AGCO.
Enjoy your movies. Thank You,
Great films. Loved the Agco Allis and Agco White tractors. Definitely peak Agco right here.
Remember those tractors quite well even the combines and the equipment Cool little video
Interesting video, I never cared for the American/European mergers, European met the needs of the European farmer, farmers here in my area tried these half breeds, and you see them in the fence rows. You still see the 60s 70s and 80s tractors working the fields.
Thank you Ethan . I really enjoyed the history lesson. You really scored at the auction. Keep being yourself, keep the faith
That was interesting. Looking forward to more of your videos about your projects and farming.
That was a cool video! Just another sad example of big companies buying out a good company and ruining it like what happened to Oliver and so many others!!
I remember seeing a fair amount of those tractors and implements come out, there's still a few around but they never really took off around here. Cool video
Thank you for sharing some amazing video’s
Thanks for taking the time to restore these videos.

Thanks for providing these videos, Ethan. So enjoyable.
Awesome history! Thank you for the effort you put into share found history and stories!
