I have noticed farms out there that will run a Gleaner but would not look at an orange tractor whether it be AC or Agco. Does the Gleaner have more loyalty then the orange?

What do you think?

Gleaner is a class leading, still in buisiness, durable brand. We have owned a few(now onw a 1460 Rotary, the heads just dont compare, the IH will take as much as you can through at it, but it is a fuel hog) and they are great combines, period. I feel that allis tractors have to have a certain brand of operator(one that is not afraid to keep it at 2300 rpm all day, or 2600 for our 7080). They dont exactly hava a strong bottom end. This is not true with a combine, where you have to run it at rated speed. This is the way my dad feels. He will use his 1355 all day long vs our 7060 or 7080, just so he doesnt have to have it at 2500 rpm when he sets it in the
