This combine cost me $400 and another $300 to fix up. The first load of beans paid it off. It's good for about 10 acres a day and the bin hods 40 bushels so your gonna empty it about every acre or so. It is a cheap well built machine for a hobby farmer like me.

@chwilliams5 Im lookin at one similar to urs but its sat out in field for prolly 5 years with no use. the belts are shot and the cab smells like piss from the mice. throttle is stuck and nothing functions rite in the cab any more. He wants 800 for it how bad was urs when u nabbed it???

[chwilliams5]

Not that bad. $800 should be field ready or very close to it. Sold mine for $950 in great shape.

Hi, I have a Gleaner AII that I still use on my corn. But I am lookin for a bean header for it. If any one knows where I can get one please let me know.

[chwilliams5]

Post on allischalmers com and on ytmag com. I am sure you will find one. Repost weekly to get max exposure. Someone has one out there. Good luck

Just Hobby farming. wish I had more land. Love the old equipment. My newest impliment is my JD 494 planter, from the early 70's.

You have the reel going to fast. It only needs to be going about 10% faster than you are traveling so it doesn't beat the crop before it hits the header

Congratulations and good luck to you.

by the look of your beans you could probably close the sieves a notch or 2 and open up the air a little. my only other suggestion is to slow your reel speed down i have a feeling that some of your beans are being beaten off the stems!

[ackermanfarms]

you really do need to slow your reel down considerably. your beans are shelling out and falling on the ground before they even get to the separator. that = loss of yield.

Enjoyed the video. Lots in common with my 1971 Gleaner F. Just finished my big 20 acres of beans

[yekralleahcim]

You don't need a seperator, your running your reel fast enough to beat all your beans out before they ever get to the combine.
