| Any Gleaner owners out there that combine canola ? This was the harvest from hell, new S78 had constant plugging in the feeder house had it sped up to 500rpm, one machine had the floor dropped in the back, it helped a little. Had custom help with JD 9770 and a s670 they did more then twice as much as we could do. Any ideas out besides trading? PS they work great in grain and soys. |

SE ND | Yeah you may as well trade. I had a new 68 trying to do canola, it was a joke. Anything over 1.7 mph you spent more time unplugging than anything. |

Sunburst Montana | Is that why you don't see Gleaners in canola country or Canada? I've only seen one and it was a C62. |

Central Alberta | Try the Gleaner page on thecombineforum.com There was a guy posting about excellent results in canola from his S77. I have ran an R75 in canola and it got along fairly well. With all combines you have to watch chaffer loss in canola. If you push the combine to capacity you will have high chaffer losses. One of the things to check is the table auger and make sure it has extra flighting to move the swath into a narrow band so it will feed in Gleaners relatively narrow feeder house. Dan Hurtt posts on that other website as well and they did some mods to the 4200 pickup (which is a MacDon unit) in order to get it to work better with the Gleaner. |
