Strathcona, mn | I'm biased, I have gleaner combines, lol. I run a r75 and a r76. The last of the r series. Both have the 8.4 sisu non def engines. I think they are good machines. I will say the propaganda that they sell in the roadshows is true. Again I'm biased but they are easily servicable machines. I did have the engine in my r75 go down this year. I bought it used and and with owning it less than 80 hours the temp overheated. Still not sure what happend but two of us had the engine out in under 4 hours. I can pull a rotor out in 12 minutes. Most belts, bearings, and drives are accessible from the ground. The weight savings is substantial. What gleaner is missing is a good dealer network. There are pockets of gleaner combines surrounding good dealers. There just is not the dealer network like with the other color machines. Even with an engine going down I have yet to have a gleaner service truck on the farm. I have always been able to fix everything myself on the combines. I've harvested 11 different crops on my farm with a gleaner and have never had to change concaves. It only takes basics setting changes btw crops. | |
