My last combine was an A-2 Allis Chalmers with the 6 cyl. gas engine which was also in the D19 gas tractor. It had a 2 row wide head (38 inch rows). Modern corn hybrids would produce almost twice the bushels per acre as compared to the average yield when the combine was design so creeping along in 1st gear was often required to not overload the thresher. I still remember the sounds of the corn coming off the drum, one of my favorite jobs.

I have to agree with you when the combine is running good picking corn is right up there with mold board plowing 😆. The sound of the cobs hitting the drum is the best life music to my ears makes a certain sound when it's set right too.

Thankyou Nelson!!! It's been a learning curve myself with it, I wish I could have found a video like this when I bought the combine 😆. But you know me I gotta make this thing do the best it can or I'm not happy, and I've got alot of time to think about how to make it do better while I'm running it too lol.

Nicely done Tim! You really have old Glenn dialed in. It's funny, my grandpa had several different tractor brands when he farmed but after he bought his first gleaner he never changed brands for a combine. He told me which models he had but I can't remember them now. I do know his last one was an N5, but that was a long time ago now. Thanks for the video Tim!

Your welcome Evan. I appreciate ya always watching and commenting, I don't think I'll ever own another brand either, even the new Gleaners are simple and use allot of the same design as old Glenn, just many modern updates obviously 😆. But looking at the newer ones I really appreciate where they have gone over the years sticking to their roots, and still no gear boxes!!!! Lol

Your welcome Bruce. And thankyou for watching and commenting. I grew up around a New Holland TR70. I was to young to remember seeing it, just walking behind and telling dad if it was shooting corn out of the back or not 😆. This was the 1st combine I learned to acualy run and set myself. It's pretty simple once you understand how it all works.

Hello from Alberta I am actually getting our Fleet of L2 Hydro ready for barley on the farm. I never really learned from Granddad how to properly set the combines we also have an M2 Hydro that's been broken down for a very long time but I would appreciate a detailed how to set a Gleaner properly

I won't be able to make a video on it for a week or so. And I've never picked barley the closest thing I could compare to is wheat. So I'm going to explain this on the assumption that you know what the working parts are called, chaffer, sieves, concave, cylinder,ect,ect. You want your cylinder speed around 900rpm there should be a chart on the header housing right side if your sitting in the combine that tells what cylinder pully gives what speed. 2nd you want your cylinder gap to be about ⅜ of an inch 3rd your chaffee should be about ¾ gap And the sieve to be about ⅜. And last your fan choke should be set around 5 or 6. All that being said this is just a good starting point. It always varies between field conditions. If your not thrashing all the seed off the plants turn the cylinder speed up a bit, if that doesn't do the trick tighten the sieves to a ¼ if it seems to be cracking to many seeds turn the cylinder speed down a bit and then try to open the concave a little. I usually open mine until I'm not quite thrashing all of the seed off then close it an⅛ or so and I find that's the best for thrashing and not cracking seeds. Of it seems your losing grain off the back. And the grain you have in the bin is nice and clean try turning the air down a notch or 2. As your probably blowing it off the chaffer. If the grain in the bin is dirty and your blowing seed off the back. You could need more air as the fodder isn't getting held up enough to separate the seed correctly. If your getting large amounts of clean grain through the tailings return elevator outside the window then open the sieves a little bit. If your getting large amounts of trash there and not much grain close the chaffer a little bit. Something else to keep in mind. If your over thrashing at the cylinder is harder to separate the grain so it's important to get your cylinder speed and gap right so your just taking the seeds off the plant. And try your best to keep the combine full with a consistent amount of barley going through it. And always wide open throttle when thrashing. In the end your field conditions play the biggest role on how you need to set it. And I hope I've explained well enough so you know what to look for and what to change accordingly. I make a video on this soon as well. I would think other guys might find this useful. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. One other thing when you checking for grain loss check under the combine 1st so you know how much your loseing at the head, the old gleaner headed are not very good for this they cab drop upwards of 5bpa and there's not alot you can do about that. But if you just look behind the combine you'll drive yourself nuts trying to get it set right cause it might be catching all the seed that makes it through the combine and your just seeing what the header is losing. It took me a bit to figure this out 🤦♂️😆

Alright thank you very much just some great starting points for me there and you're right I hadn't thought about what the head is losing at all and generally that drives me nuts moving the straw behind the machine and seeing hundreds of seeds everywhere combining is a Halloween issue for us so I've been looking over videos for helpful tips and there really isn't any detailed videos that I can find on how to set the older Gleaners. I have a book I just learned much better from being able to see things I don't know. But thank you again

@user-wg3xu2um9s your welcome. If your not harvesting until Halloween you'll be able to catch the video 1st, I'll do my best to be detailed and show the different settings for different components. I know just what you mean about the grain behind the combine lol. It took me a couple years to figure that out. Mashes me wonder how many times I had the combine set right and ended up changing it because i didn't think of what i might be losing at the head 😆 🤦♂️

Your 100percent right I used to do the same. But I sent some really clean grain to the organic elevator a few years ago and they acualy have me apremium the next year, in the form of trucking for 5 cents a bushel. 10 cents less than the neighbor pays the same company, so when I'm doing organic I make sure to clean it good for them and they acualy take care of me..... it's the strangest thing I know 😆 usually the elevators give zero f@@@@s lol when I'm doing conventional on the other hand that sieve gets opened up and they get the trash just under the docking limit life you said lol.
