2023 Wheat Harvest with the N6 Gleaner
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 07. 2023
- We finally got around to harvesting wheat with the N6 Gleaner. Ride along in the cab with us as we watch the machine work, unload the grain, and enjoy the scenery.
Honestly, I've always been watching all your videos and whenever I watch, it's giving me a calm and relaxing vibes and a positive energy. Also, your videos help me relieve my stress. Always take care and so is your family. Thank you for always giving us these wonderful videos ❤
Thank you for the kind words. We have been really busy, but we'll try to get some more videos put together soon.
I love the delight of the kids riding in the cab (though seeing them lean on the glass is kinda scary, as their dad points out). I got to ride in the cab of my dad's last generation John Deere 95 "squareback" combine, and I was always mesmerized by the sights and sounds of that machine. After college in 1987 I joined a Nebraska based, family-owned custom cutting crew, and I got to run their Gleaner L2's (a very different machine) in Western KS, when the owner needed to take a nap.
Oh, to be a kid again where everything is novel and fun! Working on a custom crew is a great experience. Thank you for watching!
great video, my dad hired a N6 to come and help one year in 1979 -80 or so, it was such a futuristic looking machine compared to the other ones, the roof over the cab, the galvanized metal look, thanks for the memories
Beautiful N6.
Thank you!
The neighbor down road has 3 N-6 & N-7s from back when his father was a custom cutter. Very interesting machines.
Yes, they are. We have had this one for a long time. It has been a very reliable machine.

god bless the farmers your the life blood of the nation thank you for your content peace
Thank you. It is a wonderful life.
When I was about 15 my first machine to run was a McCormick 151 that a cousin of mine broke me in on. My guess is that the year model was a year or two either side of 1960.
don't know for sure. It was a pretty good machine to run even without a cab. I made 4 wheat harvest runs and my last one was in 1985 where we ran 3 N7's, the best machine
I ever got to run. They had 27' cuts and were fun machines to run. In 1994 I ran an N6 for a relative of mine for about 3 weeks. Really good machines.
Very nice! Thank you for watching.
That's awesome, Eddie! Funny you mention a McCormick, we started out here with a 101 McCormick. Not sure on the year, it was before my time. I remember dad running it though, it had steering clutches instead of a steering wheel. I can't imagine how hard a day on that machine must have been! It's still sitting at the edge of a field, every now and then my girls will go climb around on it. After the 101 we moved on to an L Gleaner. That L was an amazing machine for it's time and fun to operate. Now we run this N6 and I absolutely love it! I have never seen a combine clean seed as well as this machine.
@@chadmercer4150 Thanks for the reply. My first harvest run was in 1971 when we ran four Glearer G models. They were good machines but the biggest drawback
was they had no AC, just blowers. In the summer of 1972 my brother made a harvest run and I stayed home and worked. In 1973 I made a run with a guy that
ran 3 7700 Johne Deeres, but I drove truck that summer and only ran one on occasion like thru the noon meal. In 1975 I went with a guy that had 2 Gleaner L models
but, again, I drove truck that year and got on the L onlu a couple of times so I didn't really get to know that machine very well. My last trip was in 1985 with a local
farmer that asked me to go with him and those three N7's. I told him I would go with the stipulation that I drove a combine instead of a truck and he agreed to to that.
As I said earlier, the N7s were great machines to run and am glad I made that last trip.
That's a sweet machine 💯✌🏻💚🌱
Thank you!
We had some new ones back in 1980, could run on average 8 mph and even up tp 12 mph at times, the most fun combines that i ever ran, when they ran that is.
This one is an '85 model. We have enjoyed it and not had many issues with it running. The AC going out a few summers ago was our only big issue.
I have a combined that's is a twin to yours. Carpet in the cab was shot, so my son put a Harwood floor into it. Put a rubber mat under it for sound and vibration dampening. Actually looks awesome ‼️
I bet it does! Can beat hardwood floors. It's easier to clean and gives it a "high end" look 😜
Great to see a Gleaner N6 video!
thats a cool combine👍👍
Great video.

Thank you. Love Australia! Our children are big Bluey fans and pushing their Daddy to take them 😄
Nothing i love more than an orange wheel gleaner, im a case ih guy now but we had an m2 when i was growing up until i was 14 and then the old crappy allis motor went on it while changing headers, she died at 2222.2hrs on the engine. Then we got a 1660 case ih. That was a game changer in the combine world for us and now we just run case ih everything, got a 7120 combine but i always have a soft spot for these Gleaners, they’re a great machine
Gleaner made a better sample than the Case, not much better but better, no comparison to a JD of the same age, JD was a dirty sample. JD has always been a dirty sample until the x9’s and now they’re not fooling around. Still will go gleaner, cih, nh, Or basically anything else over a deere
He has been meaning to post a picture of the seed. It looks like it has been run through a cleaner!
My in-laws have an M2 and an N5. The hourometers failed years ago.
the 301 Allis Chalmers motor was a great motor, tons of power for it's size it just needed maintenance
ผมมีความสุขในการทำงานที่มีเด็กๆๆ😊
I grew up with my face stuck to the front window of a L2 and a N7. I thought those cabs where huge!!!!! Not so much now.
And everything seems bigger when you're little!
❤
Thank you for watching
It is a very nice combine. And has a big engine..685 I
Thank you.
Nice
Thanks
Flying nun !
Are they called Flying Nuns? Never heard that!
@@mercerlandcattle9496 When i was younger and went to the allis dealer the guy’s in the shop were joking around and called the new N combines flying nun’s ! I used to watch that show so it stuck with me all these years ! When i was a kid i thought they look like a space ship out in the field without the traditional straw walkers also !
Great video I am new here
Thank you. Welcome!
Do y’all put cattle on your wheat in the winter?
We sure do! Most of our wheat is dual purpose. We put our wheat in the ground in early September and let the cattle in to graze sometime in October. They come off in early March. It really saves a lot in winter feed cost!
220hp ? little bit big header for 220hp ... but overall, probably it was faster.
We bought this machine in used condition years ago, and this was the header that came with it. He always said it was too big, especially for our fields, but it certainly does make the jobs faster. Thank you for watching.
Our neighbors bought the first two of those machines that were sold in the San Joaquin valley in California and put a jillion hours on them that is one beautiful crop I don’t want to be creepy, but could you be a little more precise on where in southern Oklahoma you are
That's cool! San Joaquin Valley is beautiful. We are in the Stratford area.
@@mercerlandcattle9496 My Family is in the Durant area
What did it yield?
About 45 bushel an acre.
Curiosa y bonita máquina tan compacta y con una distancia tan corta entre ejes, pero se la ve funcionando bien, me gusta el tejadillo y que el "culo" caiga en una sola linea es super curiosa, ya que en europa no existe esta marca , pero he visto videos de ellas
It serves us well. What brand is used where you are? Thank you for watching.
@@mercerlandcattle9496 usually class , new Holland , deutz farh and in the last yeara John Deere is increasing their numbers
Ground speed too slow
The machine has not been used in a couple years, so he was getting all the kinks worked out. By the end of harvest ground speed was sped up. We certainly appreciate your expert opinion!
At 13 Minutes he tells you why
Nice combine, how wide is the header?
27 ft wide
These combines are easy to plug up, especially at the beginning of the season before the crop running through it has polished off the inside of the combine. My father-in-law plugged his N5 on its first pass (went about 100 yards down the side of the field to open it up, turned, and plugged it) of the summer last year in thin wheat. It took nearly a day to get it cleared.
