AGCO has officially launched its latest Gleaner combine line with the Gleaner T Series.
Our own Bern Tobin is down at Farm Progress Show at Boone, Iowa, this week to take in the show, and got a first look at the new combine.
“This series delivers lightweight performance, superior control and premium grain quality for the best value in your field,” says Robert Ross, marketing manager for Gleaner.
In this video, Ross highlights the key benefits of the GL T series, including right-sizing these machines for several different farms, powering up the drive system for quick moves, and ensuring upkeep and servicing is quick and accessible.
Ross says that operators will appreciate the new Dura Drive ground drive system to get to and between fields faster, staying there longer and providing better control while there. The shift-on-the-fly, two-speed transmission provides a wider range of speed with fewer gears, including a maximum speed of 25 mph.
The combination of the CVT-style multifunction lever and the internal braking system puts better control in the hands and at the feet of the farmer, he says.
“Great grain quality and cleanliness are provided by the Natural Flow processor and two-stage cleaning without sacrificing capacity or grain loss,” Ross says. “Achieving more cost-efficient and cleaner harvests is made easier by the Series’ simple design and reduced repair time.”
The new shielding gives farmers the ability to access more areas of the machine with less effort and reduces the amount of time to clean and maintain the machine.
“Gleaner understands that time is valuable, and we want to make sure that farmers can harvest quality yields without having to stop for maintenance,” Ross stated. “When unexpected field conditions create a blockage in the processor, the powered rotor reverse will reduce the effort and time to get back to harvesting.”
AGCO is taking orders now for these new machines, with manufacturing set to begin this fall.
