What they have works. Will keep up with everything else on market in same class size and probably do a better job with less cost. Spend less so you have more profit at end of the day. A lot dont care how much they spend till the markets do what they are doing now. Then they look at cost some. It will do 5000 bu an hour in corn if you pull bottom sieve, 4500 if you dont. Most cant haul 4500 bu an hour away anyways. All the other companies just keep putting a new face on same pig, they just change everything more. Gleaner just keeps it simple, i cant understand whats not to like about that. These guys that always want something new and different desighn all the time complain how horrible the repair bill is to repair sheet metal or anything else. Cost to produce goes up when you change something every year.
Believe it or not, there are areas in this country where that cleaning capacity will never be anywhere closed to half used, as there what matters is cramming tonnage through the machine.
You know, like anywhere that doesn't grow corn, like where Gleaner started, like Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, the Prairies, where it is still small grains. Where it makes sense to run one or two big machines instead of 5 little ones, first because it is less moving parts running less machines, second because unless you want to cancel out everything you gained with efficiency, you can't find someone to run another machine. |
