Never had as much luck with the red corn head. We run the older jd heads. Very reliable I actually wrecked the last head never let me down but the outside snout slid into a culvert. Bent the whole row.

Yeah it sh:t the bed so out comes the real bine

 

[czar800]

It's been a really dry summer in my neck of the woods. I bet I'll be combining earlier this year.

 

[jakethesnake]

They're both goin to work I run the green one. Red one is bigger but a 1660 will eat the jd. Jd is a 9500

That reminds me of the 8 row 20" head we went to ohio in 1979 to get for the Gleaner G. We had 2 Gleaner g's back then. One Diesel and one gas, With a 436, and a 636 corn head. And a 13' and a 15' grain heads. The 20" corn head we only used about 2 years.

Some of the old days, apx. 1979 to 1983, Sorry for the bad pics. The 1466 international, with spray rig, and the 986 international with 10 row 20" J.D. planter with fertilizer tanks mounted. And the oliver 1855 with 12' chisel plow and loader burning old barn. ( all tractors have dual's ) The 1586 IH and the 3020 John Deere are not here at this time.

Will try to load more if you like!

One of the Gleaner G's doing beans.

jakethesnake. I always liked the silver ones.. The last one we had was a gleaner L2,with a 16' bean head. thought it was a massive combine back then! The neighbor had a N6 a few years ago with a 8 30 head, That bastard would eat until the motor went out.

 

[czar800]

Real nice pictures! You had a very impressive line if equipment.

Just for fun my gramp used to say they were gonna start painting those gleaners when they got the bugs worked out of em. Ha ha. There were a few gleaners around here but not nearly as many right in my "hood" Seemed more popular in md not many dealer here Were the older ones rotary?

 

[exSW]

There's a bunch of Gleaners here. Strong dealer with great service. He's a Kubota dealer now. I heard a rumor he's going to start selling Kubota's combines.

 

[jakethesnake]

Dint know kubota made a bine ??? They bought the Great Plains drill they'll now be selling I heard that anyhow

 

[exSW]

Kubota's making a big move. Thinks Deere and CaseIH are overlooking a few things. Smaller Combines being one. Think the skidsteer they came out with. Its only been five years and now they are all over.

 

[czar800]

I know Kubota wants to have a full line of farm equipment.
