#harvest2020 #wheatharvest #farmvideo
Video form July 2020 as I am out in the field with Stegman Harvesting from Spearville Kansas as they custom harvest wheat for a farm near Hay Springs Nebraska with two of their Gleaner S78 combines with MacDon FD 75S Flex Draper heads.
Mike I really enjoy you custom wheat cutting videos. It takes me back to my youth in '78, '79 when I worked on a crew running IH 1480's. Thanks for the video
Everyone keeps saying those machines are going too fast . But here in Michigan we farm 5200 acres of wheat corn and soybeans plus we custom farm for others. we cut wheat with 2 s680 combines with 40 foot truflex razor heads at 7 mph in 120 bushel wheat just fine with little loss. If you have your machines set right you can travel at a decent speed . These guys probably have upgraded concaves sieves and other upgrades to the machines to maximize efficiency. If you custom harvest like my family does we have to move quickly or someone else will harvest the crop and we will lose money . We custom harvest 4 to 6 thousand acres between wheat corn and soybeans. Nice video keep up the good work !
I don't think anyone said they were going too fast, just that they were going fast. I think you are a little jealous because of the video and the good comments about the Gleaner. You then had to puff your chest out a little bit about how good your almighty 680's are so not to be out done. Lets see the video of 7mph in 120 bushel wheat doing just fine.
@@terrybraun4175 I'm not jealous at all I started out running gleaners they are great machines. I wasn't bragging I was explaining how we harvest . Sorry if I sounded that way but you got the wrong idea. Any machine that works good for the particular operation or person is fine . Besides that my comment was for Mike less not you . Keep your hard on too yourself !
@@anthonybanda8192 Will do, and Happy New Year to you!
@@terrybraun4175 sorry if I was a little uptight I just don't like to have people thinking that I'm bragging. I thought maybe i really offended you and that you were mad .I try to stay humble about my family's blessings with our farm . I really don't like people who brag . Happy new year to you as well stay safe !
There is another video where some guy was complaining about the operator had his reel running too fast. But when you are watching a video, that can be deceiving
on how fast something is actually running.
I have put in a lot of hours on gleaners thru the years. I spent the summer of 1971 on 1970 Gleaner G. We had four of them on the harvest run. They had a 20 ft. header
and 3 speed manual transmissions with variable speed and 135 gallon fuel tanks over the walkers which let us run about 3 days on a fuel up. The one big drawback was they
didn't have AC, just blower motors. You could turn them off for a while, then when you turned them back on, it felt like AC. All in all, they were good machines and i don't
think we had any major problems with them the whole summer. In 1985 I made a harvest run and ran an N7 which I really liked driving. I have a cousin I usually help out
with his local harvest with an R 60 air cooled engine. Gleaners are great machines.
Great Videos. Love the Gleaner Combines. Love the Sound of the Sisu Motors.
Hi Mike , great video by the way. Love those black wheels on the combines.
Man. Those guys can cover some serious acres in a day moving like that. I'm sure those Gleaners are giving a good clean sample too. Hats off from Alvinston Ont Canada 🇨🇦
I'm sure accidents occasionally happen but it is amazing how they make it look so easy to move those huge combines around that close to each other and the grain trucks and carts fun to watch , great looking country and cool video, love the black rims.
Brian ( Brian's farming videos) needs to watch this!
I am
Give it a couple of years and you lads will have a matching pair (no offence to the lesions)
HA!! I was just thinking the same thing!
Cool to see a truck on duty in the field. We had tandem trucks but we unloaded on the go into those and my dad did all the combining. He was particularly in tune with his L2, keep loss low but speed up, not harvesting wet unless needed, always tested moisture, looked like a briefcase. We swathed a lot on the old Versatile 400. During the time when farming still really beat a mans body. No air ride tractors or seats. AC worked in the L2, rarely in the 8550.
I am so glad my Grandfather instilled the love Gleaners in me. Thanks, for the video!
Reg is Gleaner guru. There are quite a few of his old machines around Spearville/Dodge City yet. When he's done with wheat they pick a ton of high moisture corn for Ford County Feeders as well as beans and milo. I made replicas of his trucks, combines and trailers 5 years ago. Pretty cool.
None better!
Been there , and yes I like them . I would like to see one with LSW on it . Gleaners are awesome in my estimation , but thats just me ..
Great to see a video from my home state. I grew up in North Platte, Ne. A great state for agriculture, 92% of the land in Nebraska is used for farming and ranching (45 million acres)
Great looking combo!!! I’ve seen that outfits other harvest videos. Really cool to see them on this channel as well!! Really like seeing the Gleaners!
i m a french farmer and i m always pleased watching your videos !
See where Brian from Browns Farm bought dad a new Gleaner S97! Black wheels like good! Unloading into a Semi on the go was pretty neat, never seen that before!
Great video Mike, good to see you posting new videos!
I grew up on a farm, and always liked straight combining better than swathing the crop first.
Another thing was, if the farmer wanted to bale the straw afterwards for bedding for hogs or
cattle, that was always possible. Love these farm videos.
Summer of 71 I was catching grain on the go from an early 60's Gleaner (don't remember the model) with a 68 Chevy 2 1/2 ton. 3 dumps and race to the bin then back to the field. That Gleaner had an 80 bushel bin. If I didn't make it he would have put it in the old 49 Chevy an I didn't want to drive the old truck! 16 foot header and 40 bushel wheat, I had about 20 minutes between dumps.
I haven’t been to hay springs, but through the area on my way to the sand hills. Pretty country!
Really like the black rims! But I’m also partial to those silver combines.
nice video , great song leaning on the everlasting arms.
I like the black rims a lot. I think duals would've looked better but that's me. Real nice video Mike. 👍👍
For a custom combiner that has to haul the machine alot singles are a lot nicer
@@jagman9806 I bet, or tracks. I imagine some roads might need you to get duals off. I like the new LSW tires
Good looking combines, good to see them again, 🇬🇧
@John Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Hello hope you are doing great
Will love to know you if you dont mind
Just flying with those Gleaners!
Mike you did a fine job of dialing in that camera on that drone.
That’s how we did it in my day, couple rounds to let the trucks in and room to turn around, and 1 swipe to hit the corners at the end.
You really have to like the awesome videos that Mike Less guy puts out on UA-cam. I sure do. Keep them coming Farmhand Mike.
Been in Nebraska once. Really liked the open space. Black wheels looking good. I read where John Deere is coming out with an all black combine. Great video as always and have a great 2021!
Always love to see a Gleaner or two.
Remember, he said light crop, so that means they are harvesting lower than average yields. At low yields you can make any combine go super fast in a crop, faster doesn't always mean better.
Yes it looks like a light crop as a whole and its very short.
I'm a mechanic not a farmer
Your explanation is appreciated
Great video as always
Happy new year Mike
Pretty sure I read that the Gleaner has the biggest operating view... That is a nice combine .
I've been out to the Sydney Nebraska area for wheat harvest before. Its a beautiful area and learned a lot while out there.
The black tires look good😉👍 I like harvest action😁👍
That is some sandy looking soil. I imagine the sand hills area is just ranch land. Been out there with Ducks Unlimited and it's so rural we would be driving through pastures to get where we needed to go. Farm houses looked straight out of the 30s. Hard life out there in places making a living from.the lanf
Spectacular video, beatiful machine! Gleaner 4ever!!!
Happy New Year Mike Less you are the best
I like the black wheels on the Gleaners
Combines look great with those wheels!
The drone really catches everything.....hard to believe the wheat's so thin on this side and looks like it's nice & thick(er) across the field.
Nice video need more like that also nice music as well
Hallo Micke einen schönen Grüßt aus Deutschland, super Video ! Viele grüße aus Weil am Rhein Deutschland
Very informative, procedures vary between custom harvesting & the farmer owner w/ his single machine.
I prefer the black on the gleaners and your Versitile tractor. Wish we seen more good agco vids
Those guys are flying. Great vid.
Those combines can really haul the mail. Man they don't hold back. Neither pro nor con on the black rims. Good video Mike!
I wonder if this is 40 bushel stuff, they are going faster than I’ve seen a newer gleaner go with a 30’
@@heatmoon it was around 30 to 35 bushel the saw fly got in it bad.
Awesome! Thanks , Mike
Love them Gleaners.
Always like to see the Gleaners started my career as an AG mechanic on Allis-Chalmers equipment. Wish AGCO would have spent the money on the trademark name. Black wheels make them look bigger.
The "AG" in AGCO stands for _Allis-Gleaner._
Black wheels looks good.
Great job Mike !👍
Our lead combine will go around the field like this, the second combine will cut out at the corner and take off what the first combine left at the corner. That way at least one combine is running full all the time, and there are no corners at the end of the field to clean up.
The black wheels look cool on the Gleaners
20" a year that's funny maybe on a wet year, more like 12" to 15" and this year was a hot dry year, we only got one rain last summer and of course it brought bad hail with it, so took out about 2/3's of the 3,300 acres we farm just 100 miles south west of there between Scottsbluff and Alliance Nebraska. I'm surprised you didn't mention we raise edible beans, a lot of people have no clue about that and of that 80-90 percent of all Great Northern Beans are raised here in Western Nebraska. and of course them dam sugar beet's also. Always like Gleaners, it's one of the first combines I learned how to work on, simple design and easy to work on. Shame not more of them are around here, but not a very good dealer network for them here. So mostly see them red things here and what we run Green ones! Enjoy watching the variety you show on your vid's keep up the good work, and next time your in my area be happy to show ya around our farm!
How fast are they moving my gosh. But cant beat a gleaner in the field. Cleaner grain sample less weight less ground compaction less money simpler combine in the end best combine. Have ran one since the k models
in july my wife and i took are grandkids through Nebraska to Ogallala then south to limon Colorado if you did not have irrigation you had less then half a crop the drought was bad but the wind farm has really gotten big by limon then off to the mountains' of Colorado.
excellent video again, i like the bamboo shoots, they taste good, keep up the excellent videos and get your farm the way you like it🥰❤ ! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
looks pretty much like the old N7, I cut with one of them back in 1983 in Saudi Arabia.HADCO CO.
So Mike, you should know. Why is it that smaller combines tend to have rear wheel.assist far more often than the biggest ones. My neighbor always breaks out his old rear wheel assist 7720 when it wet and his 9610 gets stuck. His 7720 will plow through anytginh
Great video and also great information. When you have some “free” time can you make a video related to combines, why people like JD, Gleaner, Case IH, Fendt, Cat and so on with advantages, disadvantages and other factors that make them decide on equipment choice?
Ovidiu,
I just looked into this myself and it would be quite involved to fit it into one video. I would suggest watching individual videos put out by the manufactures. To give you a start, the name combine was used as these machines combine 3 different operations: 1 reaping, the cutting of the grain plant. This is done in the header and is easily seen from the front of the machine. 2 threshing, this is separating the grain from the rest of the plant, and 3 winnowing, which is separating the chaff from the grain, which is the husk (sheath) on the outside of the grain. These last two are done inside in machine out of view. The whole center of the combine is a factory doing this work. The manufacturers have cutaway animation to illustrate all the moving parts.
I will continue in another post for the sake of length.
Part 2
There are three basic designs used in combines, with a couple of variations:
1. Conventional combine: the reaped plant is fed from the header into the feeder housing. The chain in the feeder housing moves the plants to a drum, transverse to the machine, which has ‘beaters’ rotating inside. The grain is separated from the plant and most of the chaff is removed from the kernel. All the material then passes rearward in the machine where the straw is caught and shaken by a system of ‘straw walkers’. The grain falls to one of several grates where it is separated from the chaff and other pieces of the plant.
2. Axial flow, or rotary combines. These were first introduced by International Harvester years ago. The feeder house delivers the plant material to one or two rotors, surrounded by wire cages/grates called concaves. The rotors are long, and the whole plant travels in a spiral around the turning rotor moving toward the rear of the combine. The grain falls through the concaves onto cleaning grates where a fan system blows air to remove anything lighter than the kernel. The advantage of a rotary combine is throughput capacity. They are higher maintenance as the feed & rotors wear faster. Most combines sold today use this type of layout. The smaller models have one rotor while the largest have two rotors side by side. In the two rotor machines each rotor processes half the plant material.
2A, hybrid: Klass combines are made with the threshing machinery of both types above. The plant material is fed from the feeder house to a threshing drum as in type 1 above. After this it is fed to longitudinal rotors for separation as in type 2 above. Since Klass uses these two stages of threshing they have even more capacity than other combines.
3. Transverse rotor, natural plant flow. Gleaner combines are different than any other. They have one rotor which is larger in diameter and shorter than the axial flow above. The rotor is mounted transverse to the machine and has open concaves all the way around the rotor (360 degrees). Gleaner also has a different design to their grain - chaff separation machinery. Gleaners advantage is cleaner grain, less wasted grain discharged with the straw, ability to work on slopes and other tough conditions, and faster to changeover from one crop to another. They are also lighter and consume less power than axial flow rotary combines. Their disadvantage is throughput, as the capacity is limited by the width of the combine.
Video of ‘type 1’ conventional combine animation. Please note that my type 1, 2, & 3 are just what I used in the outline above. They are not used in the industry:

Without wheels, Gleaners could be "Star-Trek"-Shuttles... 😊👍🏻
I may have missed it and I'm not nitpicking but are combines actually allowed to run their headers attached on public roads? Looked unsafe as the oncoming car and to move over to the shoulder to pass safely. It was probably just for a short trip to the next field but still. Are there any laws about this?
Happy new year that’s for the video
Pretty country
Black rims look need. Need seeing unloading on the go in the truck
You should check out briggs farms and harvesting at it imperial Nebraska they run from Haskell Texas all the way up to cut Bank Montana pretty big outfit check them out
I would love to run of these machines the last combine I ran was a L2 gleaner.
Nice video. painting the wheels a different color than silver make them look better. Have you seen anyone paint them the Gleaner red accent color? I bet that would look nice!
Yes I did see one on a dealers lot last summer with the wheels painted orange and I thought it looked great.
How fast is their ground speed. Seems like they're hauling a$$.
Mike, I love your videos! You let the machinery do the talking! I'm a city slicker with a a love of the country, and I'm not very knowledgeable. What is the big rotor on the back of combines. I have never been able to find the answer just by searching google.
City folks have us farming folks out numbered by 20,000 to one , or more
Eso es campo propio o estás brindando el servicio de cosecha ????
Cosechando a esa velocidad de cuánto ?? 10 km/h ???, Las pérdidas por la cola deben ser tremendas !!!.
Cuál es la necesidad de cosechar corriendo carreras ???
Why didnt they spread the straw all of the working width of the Cutter ?
gleaner should have orange wheels
on the tractor, the black wheels would look better with a matching color cab top, as is looks kind of like someone bent the door on their black truck and replaced it with a white one, why change versatile's original colors?
There were some pretty thin spots in that field!
I live about 20 miles to the west of here. in 2020 we only got about 8 inches of rain, so I'm sure that wasn't the best yielding wheat they ever grew.
Does that dust have any mineral or nutritional value? It's bad isn't it. Thanks for the good video. Love the drone footage.
It’s chaff, the husk around the wheat kernel. It adds organic matter to the soil. I don’t think it’s harmful but some of the guys wear dust masks when working on combines in the field to avoid the dust irritation.
Another name for a Gleaner is a silver seeder.
Sure hoping they get that field all chopped off tonite ... snowstorm on the way!!
HOW FAST DO THOS COMBINES GO MIKE
Gleaner time 🖒🖒
boy in them Dusty conditions how often do they blow the air cleaners out
We dont we have reversible fan that blows out cleaner and radiator automatically on our gleaners98
Find it funny how fast they run compared to here in Michigan.
What do you mean? Anthony Banda is from Michigan and he runs 7 mph just fine.
@@terrybraun4175 , We usually run about 4.5 miles per hour with our combines, and everyone around us runs about that speed as well.
I like the orange wheels better
ass Always Nice video mike
BYG, BYG BYG LIKE FOR YOU 👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
Happy new year, from the imperial co California.
What is the average per acre in that area
can you explain to me why is that i see some farmers cross cutting there crops?
Good work Mike! What was the music you had on?
I used some audio from iMovie and UA-cams music library.
That's a thin wheat crop.
Not a fan of the dark colors at all
I though the video was sped up
👍👍
Do you know what obstacle was they cut around about 15 minutes into video? Jerome Manhattan Ks.
Maybe an old rock pile or water well
SO what do you think the reason is for such a poor crop Mike? poor soil, drought or....
How fast are they moving?
Unloading on the go in a semi 🚛 thats the first time I've seen that.🤠👍black wheels look good 👍
They got their harvest in and planted their cover crop all in one!
Any more tRump tractor rally videos these days.
You drive fast , whats the Speed?
How fast does the combine go?
Why is there so much hate about these combines
Has to be JEALOUSY.
@@farmhandmike yes
@@farmhandmike u make some grate videos
the critters are gonna eat well
From what I saw while in the field the critters would be starving unless;ess they want to eat straw or dirt.
