They were the most smooth running, longest lasting machines ever built. I bet there are more 6620"s still running today than all Gleaners combined. And FYI mine has a grain loss monitor, variable speed cornhead, and it is a 4 to 6 row machine, not a 12 row machine. You make no sense.
@jhoag293994 I make perfect sense. Your combine might have some of those features but Gleaner had all those features before Deere ever did. That's my point. I'll give Deere this, they know how to run a company. There used to be Gleaner dealers everywhere but after Duetz it all fell apart. That's the number 1 reason Gleaners have disappeared. If you have to drive 50 miles or more for parts you trade. Values fall and it's a snow ball effect.
@jhoag293994 to add to what I was saying. The combine loses value and so it becomes not worth fixing. You wouldn't stick $5,000 into a combine that's not worth much more than that but if it's worth $15,000 then $5,000 sounds better. I'm not saying Deere doesn't make a good machine, I'm just saying Gleaner was actually the one ahead of the rest. #1 in the USA through the 60's and 70's and into the 80's. The XX20 Deere series in my area are about gone but this was a strong Gleaner area then.
Let's say you have 120 acres that routinely produces about 190 bushels of corn per acre. It is rented out now but if I were to farm it, what type of combine should I buy? Or should I just have it custom harvested?
@Archivesman1 Thanks for the information. Sounds like the 4400 Turbo is capable of handling quite a bit of land. I suppose it uses a 4 row corn header. The 6600 in the video has a 6 row header and is a good looking machine. We always kept out equipment in good shape (when I was growing up) and did not have too many breakdowns. I would like to farm my little farm (120 acres) at least 2 or 3 years before I die. I've been at a university for most of my adult life.
We may do 400 acres next year, I agree it keeps up pretty good with the new machines. With a grain cart we can fill a semi with 40 tons in 4 hours. The Mack isn't ours but I would love to have one with a regular cab and a little bigger box, it has plenty of power and is built stronger than anything else.
@ray3rd yep here we got 900 acres and we run 5 newjds a case and one of these and these aint to bad for up here we had ac put in er thought today it was 106
@ray3rd yep here we got 900 acres and we run 5 newjds a case and one of these and these aint to bad for up here we had ac put in er thought today it was 106 we dont use all the land sometimes

i have a international about the same size 5500 for sale call me if u want an update
I still run about 1000 acres through one of these, it has 4190 hrs. on it. God Bless older Deere combines, no one made anything even remotely close to one of these. They were before their time.
@jhoag293994 In what way were they before their time? Stone ejection door protection? Electrol Hydraulics push button controls? Grain Loss Monitor, Full Bin Monitor, Automatic reel speed, Variable speed corn head, Big Grain Bins, Rotary technology, Sidehill operation without spending big bucks, simplicity, true two stage cleaning fan system, centerline design, visual tailings from your seat while combining, 12 row corn head, speed in the field without grain loss? Nope none of that. Who had those
I see that he took off his center shield extensions. I have a 443 head, and the 1st year we used it we had to take them off due to severely down and tangled corn. But I put them back on in the dry harvest of 2007; and let me tell you, that head got EVERYTHING!!!

A lot of those old mack cabovers were garbage trucks. 300 horsepower with tandem axles made them solid workhorses.

We're doing about 200 acres this year plus some for the neighbors I think. For 20 acres I'd just hire someone unless you got money to burn.
No idea what center shield extensions are...
ray3rd 2 years ago
@ray3rd They're crown-like sheilds that go on the center snouts. Obviously they're not for downed corn but they keep ears from rolling off the edges.
