Ethanol-free fuel is readily available around here which may help. Like I said, I just want to have the gas option on the table when I'm ready to buy. Given the choice between a gas-powered one in nice shape and a "rode hard put away wet" diesel version it sounds like I can pick the gasser and not lose any sleep over it. If I were doing 200+ acres it would be a different story.


You didn’t stir up bad memories I just hate it when folks give bad advice. We harvested a lot of grain with the gasser K but I shake my head when folks say a gasser is the way to go. Another angle to gas vs diesel. I have a single axle GMC straight truck and a small diesel semi the semi hauls double the load on less fuel and moves effortlessly down the road.

in the early years i always chose gasser combines, we farmed many miles away from home and if it was cold out at harvest time, we could leave the gassers in the fields overnight and not worry much about them not starting the next morning! worked very well and also watched others bringing in generators and heaters to help start their diesel machines left in the fields overnight!   newer diesels start better than the older ones nowadays even if the older ones were new at the time. i farmed 320 acres at the time plus a few custom jobs for neighbors.

I'd pick a F,M, or L series in whatever presents itself in good condition for a fair price.

My personal favorite is a 81 or 82 L2 big engine hydro. We do have a 80 F2 gas hydro set up for corn, and I enjoyed it as well. pretty decent on fuel surprisingly. could head to the field with a full tank and 2 5 gallon jugs a day would almost keep up with our short days.

Gleaner: the properly engineered and built combine.

If you need parts for your Gleaner, we are parting out A's through L2's, so we may be able to help.
