Subject: Re: Gleaner Combines


watch the hours. We have 1800 hours on our 99 R62 combine. Had nothing but trouble this year. Rear conveyor floor wore threw, return chain shot, rear axel broke,fuel problems, front feeder bearing out, header auger shaft broke, Front drive shaft splines shot on feeder house and needs new chains and sprockets. Head casket. Most repairs start at $500. but are closer to $1000. We do have a turret auger and this is a high priced peace of S**T. We have replaced the elbow inside the auger 4 times now $1000. each time. Would never get another combine with it. So if you are looking at an older combine you better look it over good. Paying more for a newer combine will save some head aches later on.
PS. If anyone knows how to keep the turret auger from breaking the elbow and gears inside I sure could use some advice. [email protected]
