Do the late model Gleaners still say "Allis Chalmers" on them? It looked like that R52 of Lonn's might have had an AC logo on top of the cab between the head lights, or it could have been an Agco logo. I couldn't tell, I didn't see any other reference to Allis on it. I'm not knocking it, it's a very nice machine. I just wondered if they still referred back to their roots.

Don, that is a cool grain bin cover on your machine, never seen one like that before. I always wondered why US combines don't have covers on the bins, I know for a fact that full grain bins with no space to dump it attracts cloudbursts!

Thanks John for posting about the top, I love the top it works nice with the little door I can leave off to see how full the tank is but the best part of the top is my Dad built it for me, makes me think about Dad running the old "A" The top will not go with the combine if it ever go's down for the count.

It went from Allis-Chalmers to Duetz-Allis to AGCO on the combines. My 52 says AGCO and that was back when AGCO willingly called itself Allis Gleaner as AGCO used to stand for Allis Gleaner Company but today Massey Ferguson runs AGCO and denies that AGCO ever did stand for Allis Gleaner Company.

I Love The Picture Of The Gleaner Coming Out Of The Tall Corn!!! That is so cool. A K2 is a long way from being a new machine. But in that picture, it looks as good as it did the second day off of the line at Independence. Or the first day off of the dealers lot.

JimWenigOH, Yes that is a great looking Gleaner K2 & A330 black cornhead. Viewing from the location of it's exhaust stack, I'd say it has the GM250 6 cylinder gasoline engine. Combines looks to be the first of the longback style - 1978? How many hours on it? How'd your corn yield this year?
I still run a 78' K2 330 combination too. I love counting over multiple of 3 row increments to start a new through into tall corn. It's smaller grain tank size keeps wagons close. Here's a photo of it in a 2017 field of 320bu/acre corn. I peeled the husk back to get an appreciation of the ears. 
In the background on second photo, your cool old Army 6 wheeler grain truck is not messing around - all business. How many bushels can it haul?

Thanks for the compliments fellers. The K2 is a 1978 with the GM 250 gas engine, as far as hours go, I don't know. Per the usual, the wiring had been worked on by the mice prior to me buying it at auction. I went through the combine front to back and top to bottom upgrading where ever I could. The corn made 172 bpa which I was happy with. I was running 3.4 to 3.8 mph w/o blowing it out the back. The truck is a 1972 M817, 5 ton dump truck. With the sides on it will hold 330 bu.

I have to ask the brand and number of corn. I wouldn't mind shoving that into our Gleaner.

Without hijacking the post, does anyone know how the new S series stack up against the new Fendt?

Wouldn't that be a fun video to watch. Can Big Black be shipped with the wheels and tires on? How much does it weight? I too would like to see a contest between their class 8 & 9 against the Gleaner S98. The Sisu inline 7 cylinder engine in the Gleaner is oh so strong. I might be closer than AGCO would like. If you haven't guessed it by now, I really love the Gleaner cross rotor. It is so simple.
One thing I love the looks of is the hi-bred header we see the Fendt pushing. A draper belt that pulls the crop backward off of the sickle and into a cross auger. The crop flows in so nice. How would it work in beans and would you still want an air reel?

I think i recently saw an old Massey video from the 1980's using a head like that.

The corn is Spectrum Non-GMO no. 6241 out of Indiana. Mine was untreated and no-till.
