For 100 years, Gleaner Combines have been a part of the harvest tradition. From the first combine in 1919 to today’s modern machines, Gleaner has been providing farmers with quality equipment that helps them get the job done. As we celebrate this milestone, let’s take a look back at how Gleaner Combines have evolved over the years and how they continue to be an integral part of the harvest tradition.
“From the first self-propelled harvester to our innovative S9 Super Series combines, Gleaner provides the reliability and experience North American farmers count on,” says Matt LeCroy, AGCO marketing director, hay and forage North America. “We’ve spent a century focused on building the best combine for farmers in the field. Staying true to our core competency allows us to offer higher productivity, better grain quality, and more cost-effective equipment. We’re excited to celebrate this important milestone with Gleaner fans, old and new, as sales open for model year 2023 equipment.”*
The Baldwin brother’s innovative approach to quality, comfort and straightforward design have resonated in each Gleaner combine ever made. The Gleaner Company says its machines were the first to incorporate a rasp bar threshing cylinder situated right behind the header, providing a more consitant threshing and a larger cleaning area in a smaller machine.
Gleaner combines are known for their unique design. They are designed to be more efficient with their center-line mounted cabs and rear engine decks instead of the traditional front-mounted engines and off-set cabs. This allows them to harvest more crops in a shorter amount of time, making them an ideal choice for agricultural operations. Gleaner combines also feature a variety of other features, such as advanced harvesting technology, precision guidance systems, and automated material handling systems that make them even more efficient. With these features, Gleaner combines offer the perfect solution for large scale agricultural operations looking to maximize their yield.
