100 YEARS of GLEANER Combine



GLEANER was the first self propelled combine ever built back in 1923. AGCO is marking 100 Years of GLEANER combine production of Centennial Edition S9 combines in 2023. Big Tractor Power visited with AGCO at the 2023 National Farm Machinery show to review 100 Years of GLEANER S97. This video talks about the combines harvest capabilities and the special 1923-2023 GLEANER graphics.

  1. With the corporate name of AGCO and the A standing for Allis, there should ALWAYS be AC orange in and on their products IMO. I always enjoy the videos with a Gleaner running in them, especially the newer Gleaners. Lots of old ones around here (and I mean old) but very rarely do we get to see a new(er) one here. I wish that would change.

  2. From 1959 to 1986 our farm had 5 Gleaner combines. Three of them had rice tires. Fun times when there is no cab or cab without an air conditioning setting in a glass bubble. Easy to service with access to all parts of the combine. Clean grain and minimum grain loss out of the back. YouTuber Brian's Farming Videos bought a Gleaner combine in 2022. It is harder to get used to the feeder house being to the right instead of dead center. Wasn't the smoothest start with the transmission, but that was fixed. With a corn head, the back end is light. There is a weight package and I would definitely want that. I did not feel the combine was as stable as it should be. The grain is cleaner than the Claas, John Deere, and CaseIH combines I have seen on other YouTube videos. I am looking forward to hearing about your experience with a Gleaner combine this year. Great and informative video.

  3. Brown Family Farms have a new Gleaner that had a warranty issue and Gleaner brought out a loaner combine no charge. Not many manufacturers will do this. When can we see a visit with Brian, Robert Sr. , and Bob Jr. ?

  4. The thing I don't understand is,…..Fendt and Massey Ferguson are also part of AGCO, so why do they not make their combines "Natural Flow" like the Gleaners, if the "Natural Flow" is such a great concept?!?!

  5. My dad traded 6 L2's for 3 N6's in the fall of '79, I found some black striping that looked something like the series three strips. A guy we knew at the time ran Gleaner experimental machine's and saw them, they put those on the '82 series three machines. I remember thinking that was cool of them.

  6. Honestly the transverse rotor is the most efficient and lightest footprint of all combines. Just wish here in NC there was a bigger or local dealer network. Despite some still running doing maintenance in house and take that 45-60 min drive for parts. Thanks BTP for the informative vid!

  8. Great video. Take it from a Case IH mechanic by day… Running 3 generations of gleaner at home in the evenings, G, R7, R72, simpler to work on, less down time, great grain samples.

  9. I remember when growing up in the 70's. A school friends parents had a Gleaner. We always picked on him saying Gleaner was so cheap they couldn't paint them. Guess Gleaner taught me a lesson. Still here today!

  10. I love my Gleaner. They're great combines and always have been. Agco should have dumped the Massey name and stayed with the orange Agco line.

  11. Fantastic overview and presentation.

    My family's first Gleaner was a "C" (straight C). Although I was very young at the time, with every passing year I began to take more interest in it; today, I remember it like it was yesterday.

    262 cu. in. 6-cyl gas engine, wooden idler blocks for the chains, wooden slats on the raddle chain, and more. It worked great in oats but as the years progressed and the corn yields and the stalks increased, that wooden raddle was the weak spot.

    Today, we also use green paint but Gleaner is where it all started.

    I sure wish they would have kept the Allis Chalmers orange paint for the tractors.

    Thank you for doing this.
