Thank you very much for the thorough video of this machine. You know the bottlenecks and the improvements to them. First I have seen internals of the rotor machines. Back in the days we started with CII CSs and then up to L3s. I made a few mods to them to get more throughput. The CII I ran we put a G header on it and modified the adapter to sit at just the right angle. Mod'd the clean grain elevator and sped it up a tad. Just knowing what to adjust and tune. Ran mostly corn and beans. Only had a 4 row/38 in header but would run in second gear. Should have put a six row header on it but it was a transition to 30 inch rows at the time. L's were great machines too. The good ole days of knowing the sounds and no electronics, making them sing... lol
@@Hinesfarm-Indiana Grey pneumatic makes Extra deep impacts. I need to check my main shaft bearings. How do you get the belt off of the right side that runs the rotor gear box?
Eric hope farm a life is going great for you what year did they stop 🛑 put the hump in the Gleaner combine and what models on the R72 do the feed house have to come off to do the floor thanks
@@ClevelandBaldwin-w2n it’s my understanding they took the hump out on the r76, I don’t know maybe the last few r75s. Other than that the throat has to come off.
Might want to check out, on both lift and lower poppers there a little bolt on each one with a jam nut, that’s how you set the speed of them, turn them out and that should speed them up.
Did you put any filler plates in the concave when you cut wheat? And how did that work out having every other Rod pulled out of the second concave when you cut wheat? Thank you great video makes me want to try out some of those mods on my r62
, thank you so much for the help I'll give that a try. this spring to get ready for wheat in my r62 I put the Steep pitch helical bars and then I put all forward rasping bars on my open router and on my thrashing concave I put three filler plates on the first three squares but I've been plugging up with straw starting near the straw Chopper and then it it works its way back so now after watching your video I think I'm going to pull out every other rod on the separator concave and take out my filler plates on the threshing concave thanks again or the video i
Remember the days when you needed a different combine for different crops? Rotary Combines have eliminated that for the most part. A few adjustments and you're good to go.
Well done. had no idea the work involved in combines. well done again
Thanks for watching 👍👍

That’s really neat, yeah I like making them run better, in 2019 I found a 8-38 corn head, we can cover the ground with it.
You need an extra deep 3/4” socket for the feeder. This is a good video on explaining the change over.
Thanks for watching, yeah I should make one that’s extra deep that way I have it

@@CattleandCountry I’ll have to check them out. Yeah I’ve always taken the shive apart on the bottom to change the belt.
Welcome to Hines farm combine class 101 to see the public noise maker 😁
@@tnhillbilly1307 lol good one 😆😆😆
Good job, Buddy!
Thanks

Good explanation of reason why mods.
Thanks 👍
Clean machine
Thanks for watching
Good refresher course what shape are your accelerator rollers in
hope i see good results in all our changes we did when we combine wheat
Thanks for watching, yeah their not to bad, I replaced them a few years back.
Nice Combine would you ever Upgrade to a S series Gleaner
That’d be nice some day, but with the mods I’ve done to this I’ve opened the capacity a lot on it.
good video we have a R72 and the header lifts very slow have you ever seen that before
we replaced the O rings on poppets for the lift any ideas
Might want to check out, on both lift and lower poppers there a little bolt on each one with a jam nut, that’s how you set the speed of them, turn them out and that should speed them up.
we did that also after looking closer we found bad O Rings see if that fixes it
@@KesslerGrainfarms oh ok 👍

No I don’t run filler plates, it works good with every other rod pulled out of the separator grate.

Is that close router a lot better than the open router? And is it is it very expensive to make the switch
@@lucaswestover3 glad to help 👍
@@lucaswestover3 yeah it works good for us, I don’t know how much it’d cost to switch, it was in the machine when we bought it.

Oh yeah 👍
Awesome 👍
Thanks
What year is ur combine
It’s a 2002
My ole f I be half day changing her
Oh yeah the older ones took a lot longer
@@Hinesfarm-Indiana do you like the donnybrook chopping system
@@williamorman4779 yeah it’s always worked good for us
@@Hinesfarm-Indiana you ever deal with lakes in rushvill in
Does running cylinder bars the same way cause any thrashing problems
