- Big Tractor Power is in the field with an AGCO Gleaner A86 combine. This video takes you out in the field and up in the cab to see and hear this 425 hp 350 bu. combine at work harvesting corn with a Challenger 12-20 corn head. This video also features AGCO history showing the Axial style combine developing from the WHITE Farm Equipment 9700 to Massey Ferguson combines to Gleaner.

You're always so very thoughtful making sure that our experience is as immersive as possible ... love ya for it !
Thank you for the comment and watching.
These machines move like nobody’s business. I’m very impressed.
👍
Love the Gleaners. One of the beat paint schemes that I've seen.
👍
Very informative. Well done. One tid bit: The MF combine shown @ 2:27 is of a newer vintage than the A series Gleaner. That MF combine has the current architecture with the engine sitting parallel to the rotor, which is driven thru belts, whereas the axial style combines of the Gleaner A series, and contemporary MF axial combines, were driven thru a hydraulic pump/motor system.
Yes. Very true. Unfortunately this is my only Massey combine footage.
I enjoy the many different brands who mfg agricultural machinery. Allis Chalmers was a huge company making equipment for industrial sectors. Much history in this video. Can't wait for next presentation. Be Well BTP
Thank you. Glad you liked the history.
WOW, That A86 combine is a big one.
It is a big machine. It does a great job.
Love the work you do...great little history lesson...thanks BTP
Thank you.
Thank you big tractor👍🏻 i'll enjoy more of your videos being laid up. From back surgery take care my friend😊🇺🇸🐝
I hope you have a speedy recovery.
Kppppppppopppppoppppppoppooop0pp
One of the only combines that you can reverse the rotor.... very nice for canola
👍
Thanks for the video BTP. Looks like someone was trying to trim trees while shelling corn.
Thank you BTP. Now i know what AGCO stands for. Very good information as always. Must be a little wet in parst of the fields corn trash does not stick to dry tires lol.
Thank you for watching. This was a bottom field that was tacky.
I didn't know either until now. I knew both were connected to AGCO but not that they made up the name.
We had a cleaner g it was a awesome combine and we had a d21 allis Chalmers I can drive that tractor 24 hours a day I love to hear the sound of that tractor
Very cool. Filming a D-21 in the field is top on my tractor wish list.
Another great video BTP. Really enjoy your documentation of the history of these companies and their origin. If you ever get a chance, would love to hear about the Deitz Air cooled diesel engines.
I am working on a Deutz-Allis 9170 video. Thank you for watching.
Nice touch with the Queen Mary!
👍
Thanks for another great video :)
Kind of more interested in the 4wd Allis. Good vid
It’s a neat harvesting team.
Another great Vid by BTP as always
Thank you for watching.
People make fun of Gleaner and Agco, but it's funny there is a lot of Agco products out there in the field yearly.
AGCO makes impressive machines.
I'm french but i love your videos ! Very informatives !
Thank you for watching. It is honor to have people watching from other parts of the world.
That's why we bought one it was are awesome combine
👍
The information you at more or less 10:00 is interesting and it let me wonder where does Deutz Allis future in the history, was that later years, thank you for a great video on the Gleaner Combines
Thank you for watching.
Deutz Allis was a middle period between Allis Chalmers and AGCO
Man another great video thanks again 👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Another great video, your the best!! Thx.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Don’t see many of the a series. Pretty cool
To see em
I was excited to find this one. They are on the rare side.
Agco is great thanks for sharing
👍
Another great video. I love Gleaner combines. I wish they would have kept making them out of galvanized steel. This model I never have liked. Dident care gor it's round looks. I love how Gleaner still is a square body machine, It just looks better in my opinion. I grew up riding in a N6 when they were released. I loved the sound and riding in that machine.
The N6 was a monster in 1979. First 12 row corn head combine.
@@bigtractorpower only topped by the n7.
Love those machines
They are impressive.
Good history info there. Enjoyed the video!
👍. Your combine helped make the story. It is an awesome one.
Gleaner does it cleaner!
You have that right. Top notch combine.
Gleaner was the only company to offer both natural and unnatural flow rotary combines
They sold the Gleaner S77 in Eastern Europe and China as the Massey Ferguson T7. I have not had chance to film one.
Great stuff as usual
Thank you.
Great Video BTP! If memory serves me correct on the C62 you could choose between the two unloading auger designs. It would of been nice for AGCO to offer it on the A series.
The R75 had the pivot and turret auger options. The C62 is turret only. I hope to film a C62 some day.
bigtractorpower if you go to TractorHouse.com you will see listening for C62’s with both designs of unloading augers.
a C62 could have both the Massey version (8680) could only have the turret.
Correct.
Congrats on being featured on the kinze manufacturing instagram
Thank you. That was pretty cool.
Nice video as usual
Thank you for watching.
Great video, thanks.
Thank you for watching.
Shout out for Andrew Hourigan in New York they have a large Dairy Farm with JD's he works on his equipment takes you through day to day Farming and issues.... they have a new 8700 JD chopper and his daughters run the chopper and work on the farm... Hope BTP don't get mad for me saying this
Neat.
Good job
Thank you for watching.
According to gleaner man , gleaner transverse will way out cut a gleaner a series. I talked to a farmer in northeast Iowa that had 90 bushel green stem soybeans on a regular basis, he would travel 5.5 mph with the A86 n, 40 ft. draper, the transverse, s97 that he got to replace the A86, would do 3.5 mph with a 35 ft. head. Maybe the farmer should have done a demo with the S97 before he let the dealer sucker him into getting a transverse when he could have gotten a new Massey 9565. The new Massey"s don't thresh as well as the A series or the transverse , but maybe Gorden cylinder bars would fit the rotor since it was a copy of the rotor put into the Case Ih 7010-8010 and 9010. The Gorden bars make a big difference on Case IH rotors's in cutting down on un threshed grain getting past the short, poorly spaced bars.
The MF 9540 you show is a 2012 or younger, and is a redesign combine mechanism is different then this a86 the real comparision was a MF 9895
The motor on the 9540 is a 7 cylinders 9.8L, rotor drive is a belt vs hydro,bigger rotor, new cooling package V design, better cab insonorisation
Nice !
Thank you for watching.
Lol...I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas morning??
very informational, thank you for this video. I like how you explain the history of this machines. Most of them you´ll never find here in Germany - as the Gleaner combines. AGCO only sell MF and Fendt combines here.
A little question: do you know the brand the of the header at the A86?
Thank you for watching. Allis-Chalmers sold Gleaner combines that were painted orange in England in the 1960’s. I believe that is the only place a Gleaner has ever been sold in Europe. The A86 is running a Challenger corn head.
I know wich you mean, I saw pictures of these - but I didn´t knew that they were sold in the UK. A Challenger header - I could have come up with that too, the color fits. Thx for the info.
Another cool video.. Forgive my ignorance. But what was AC's reasoning for the duel pipes on the turbo-ed tractor? When all the other builders, at least the ones I know of, used a single pipe for turbocharged tractors unless they were V-8's. The link you left for the tractor takes me to 4 John Deere's planting. However, I found the 4W-305 video and see it has twin turbo's which answers my question.
Love the old large AC iron.
Thank you for watching. I will check the link. The 4W-305 and 8550 before used an AC engine. My understanding the way the turbos are set in the engine they added two pipes to match them.
bigtractorpower the 4w-305 has 2 heads on it even though it’s a straight 6 engine. So it has to separate exhaust manifolds which leads to the two exhaust stacks.
Yeah Gleaner has the most apt name for a combine as back before spray and big machines people walked the fields picking weeds and pulling diseased plants and they were "Gleaners"
He got duals on that for compaction. Cause it doesn't look like it would need much power for that 12 corn head
Most class 8 combined have duals for traction and to reduce compaction.
That’s a different type of gleaner design we have a gleaner S98 that has the auger that rolls up and the stubby rear.
S98 is a nice combine
When you buy a gleaner it’s your for life, we call them a boat anchor lmao
I film all brands of combines. I find the Gleaner produces the cleanest sample and leaves the least amount of grain behind.
Yes it international puts it in the tank instead of behind lol
Well it depends on if its a real Gleaner or a repainted White-Massey like this one
wow that cab is a loud on inside as case 1440
Off the subject here but what is your opinion on the new 700 John Deere combines compared to the 600 series and also the caseih??...they do better job of harvesting ?..less loss ?..are the quiet ??
Fuerte y poderoso
Great video B.T.P..I thought Gleaner was a registered name owned by Allis-Chalmers.
Gleaner was part of AC from about 1955 to 1985. It became part of Deutz-Allis in 1985 and in 1990 when Deutz-Allis became AGCO the brand name transferred again.
@@bigtractorpower Interesting,my old neighbor bought a brand new one back about 1970-71,he had no real issues with it either,it was a very reliable piece of equipment according what he said about it.
@@4gauge10 gleaners were great conventional combines and probably cut the cleanest with the least yield. The n series had their set backs at the start but got them sorted out out before deutz bought out allis. When deutz took over issues returned when thet tried to change the engines to air cooled and other parts. Alrhough when agco took over they used the cummins in the r series which made them a great combine to operate. Even for today an r 72 gleaner is hell of a combine.
I was noticing the Challenger cutter head. Do all AGCO heads interchange with all AGCO combines. Are there any other brands that will match up with an AGCO cutter or draper head.
The AGCO built heads will fit across AGCO combines. I have filmed a few Gleaners running Massey Ferguson Draper heads and Challenger corn heads. As far as another brand like a MacDon or Geringhoff adapter plates are needed.
It sound's like the cab door is open? I've rode in other makes of combines & they don't seam as load in the cab! IH & Deere are much more comfortable to be in.
It was plenty comfortable.
You should go to the farm science review in London Ohio from September 18-20
I would like to but I will not be able to this year.
Maybe next year
Did Agco buy or require Massey Ferguson back in the day and keep their product line? Like the design internally of components or did they merge the brand name into the company and discontinue MF design.
Massey is part of AGCO. This is a Massey combine and to expand sales it was sold as Massey, Gleaner and Challenger in the United States. It was also sold as a Fendt in Europe and Valtra in South America. .
Thanks bigtractorpower for the info.
👍
You show go film the Dowson crew by south western Illinois
What do they run ?
A bunch of s790
Silver sided pheasant catcher
Do you know why the allis-chalmers only has a single fender on the back?
It most have broken off at some point.
👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching.
By the look of this, it doesn't have a automatic computer that it can run automatically
+bigtractorpower Very informational video BTP! First to comment.
Thank you for watching.
Anything yet on challenger 1000 series video?...or did I miss it??..lol...thx
Soon. I have been filming a 1038 since last December.
Gleaner? Good luck with support.
This farm has a stand out AGCO dealer. Great support.
My closest dealer is 350 miles away, don't need support, just cut.
The question is how does the A86 compare to a S88?
Both good machines and both class 8 combines. The S88 is a generation newer than the A86. An S88 holds 390 bu. Vs. the 350 on the A86. The S88 cab has more tech and features because it is newer.
Just a question, how many acres does an average field in the US have?
Im from Europe :)
Well it all depends on region and geography. The farms here in Kentucky have fields as small as 5 acres and as big as 1,000 acres. One farm in town has a 3,000 acre field.
Sure is loud in the cab.
That is the can air conditioning. My camera microphone was too close it.
@@bigtractorpower fair enough. Still quieter than an early JD s series.
Did this happen to be near newton Illinois?
Yes
Is it me or is that cab loud?
My camera microphone pics up the air conditioning vent. I switched to a GoPro this year to avoid the vent noise.
@@bigtractorpower Oh yeah..10-4. Love your videos.
Fendt , Gleaner and Massey. One harvester; 3 different names.
And Challenger.
Only the A Gleaners are that way. the R and S are transaxial flow and unique to gleaner
Camel Tanker the gleaner is different, it is only the A series. It is a Massey Ferguson combine. Agco was trying to make one universal combine. So they designed the A series combine. It is a Massey painted gray and says gleaner. The gleaner rotor runs side to side. Every other combines rotor runs Parallel to the feeder house. My family runs a gleaner and we compared it to the A series and it is basically the opposite of a normal gleaner combine.
Thanks.
Gleaner combine models have always confused me
I try to tell our neighbours that's the only way to go is cleaner
Gleaner is a good harvesting machine.
Schöne Maschine.
Verstehe aber das Gelaber nicht.
Englisch lernen!
@@christofferhoyns1901
Hasse Englisch
I'm sure they're not all like this but out neighbors A series was an absolute bucket of crap. Endless problems with it.
That is not good. I have filmed two A series and both farms really like them.
Silver seeder
Lowest loss levels and the cleanest sample, silver seeder, not hardly.
Gleaner transverse of course.
That must be the better version of gleaner
Not even close, we ran both, the transverse will kick it's ass.
