Gleaner is the silver, now grey, combines.
The other makes mentioned are all in the Agco family, but not Gleaners.
Agco is pushing the Ideal combine now, yet another design and brand. It is massively huge. And very complex electronically.
Gleaner combines are actually about at their physical size limit. Good simple machines that just work. However with the rotor in cross ways, they are limited as to how long the the rotor can be, and you can only make them so big around. With a rotor length wise you can always add another few feet or make it a few inches bigger around and gain more capacity.
The cross ways rotor is pretty much maxed out where they are at. Never say never of course, can always wedge in a little more.
But it’s funny you would pick on the Gleaner as a monster machine, when the Ideal combine and there is a new JD combine also being tested this year, both are monsters that it’s difficult to find a header big enough to keep them full. They are running 6-7 miles per hour with a 16 row corn head to keep them full. Crazy!
