Here is an early 'E' model
Gleaner from the 60's harvesting corn. |
|
This is an 'A2' Gleaner. |
|
This is a '73 Gleaner GH
with a diesel engine and cab A/C. Allis Chalmers was one of the
first manufacturers to include A/C in their combine cabs. |
|
Here's another GH harvesting
peas near Walla Walla, WA. |
|
This is an MH2 that replaced
the GH model. It has a monitoring system that was the forunner
of the systems in the later N through R series. |
|
Here's a picture showing
the impressive sidehill capabilities of the MH2. Even with the
leveling system though, it's possible for the combine to literally
slide down the hill and sometimes they are run with tire chains
to keep hold of the ground. |
|
This shows the differences
between a '84 Gleaner N7 and a '81 MH2. The N7 in this picture
has dual front tires for better flotation and sidehill operation. |
|
Here is a '91 Gleaner R50
with a model 315 pickup-reel equiped header. |
|
Here's an R52 being delivered
to a customer. If you look carefully at the front tire rim, you
can see holes around the edge, allowing special toggle clamps
used to hold on another tire, giving dual front driver wheels. |
|
This is an '84 N7 running
dual front tires and a standard bat type reel. The N through
R series combines have a special accelerator system that throws
the grain through a blast of air, assuring even cleaning even
when on a hillside. The newer machines don't have leveling systems. |
|
Here is an '89 R60 with
rear-wheel assist (RWA) and a sizable extension on the discharge
auger. |
