Subject: Re: Gleaner R52 vs Case IH 2166



SE Michigan
I have a R62 Gleaner and I can vouch for ease of maintenance. It is easy to adjust to get a clean sample. Before this machine I had 2 N6's and moved heads from one machine to then next. I did not run the 20 ft head very long on the R62 before I got a chance to pickup a 30 foot head and have not looked back. Should have had the 30 from the get go with the R62. Not that I harvest that much more in a day, but I drive slower and do a much better job of cutting. There has been nothing but Gleaner on this farm since 1964. Back several years ago when I still had a N6 a neighbor died and there was a work bee to harvest his corn and beans. I took truck for beans, but combine and truck for corn and all the green and red operators were surprised at how much corn I harvested compared to them. I was traveling faster with 8 row head than they could travel with 6 row head. I know that there are bigger machines out there now so that may be different now, but I still would stay with Gleaner.
