| Really? Since they're of JD, it doesn't surprise me. I'll post hyper links so you can click on them and watch the videos on You Tube. |

This one is "Gleaner vs Everyone" Lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpTsAHwZrQw" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpTsAHwZrQw But watching Gleaners get tore up about makes me sick!  But, it is fun seeing a Gleaner tearing up a John Deere, so the video isn't all bad!

| the green combines don't last long in those competitions...they knock the rear axle out and they are dun! watched this several times. die hard green people would prolly take their wrecked ones back to the field when done, couldn't do any worse job! lol |

| bouts the best combines to derby with if ya wanna win are the new Hollands with the cat engines. they are heavier built than the thin tin green paint ones. but it's still a good way to gits rid of them. they should use the STS's |

I think that STS stands for Straight Through Seeding! Lol! Judging by our fields after the custom cutters leave, you would think that's what it means!

I've heard the rear axles on the L/M series Gleaners are kinda weak. Maybe not as weak as JD though!! I was talking to a friend who said about 15-20 years ago was driving an L3 down the road to cut the first field of the year. He had just put the header on and was driving in 3rd gear down the road. He hit a bump and the header dropped off the feeder house! The combine drove up over the header, and ripped the rear axle off! Amazingly, it landed upright and didn't roll. He was perfectly okay, although pretty shaken up!! He fixed the combine and kept using it, although the header was toast!

I had a header bounce off my IH combine once, but never on my Gleaners. the latch system on IH's suck! pretty poor design, but they kept it for lots of years! the old style latches on the gleaners were good if the springs were good and not broke!

  SOME OF THOSE VIDEOS YOU POSTED A LINK TO WERE FROM THE LORAIN COUNTY FAIR IN MY TOWN, I RAN THIS CASE 660 FOR 8 YEARS, WE HAD AS MANY AS 33 COMBINES IN OUR DERBY ( NOT ALL IN THE SAME HEAT ) THEY AVERAGE AROUND 20-24 COMBINES MOSTLY DEERES, MOST PEOPLE WERE SUPRISED HOW WELL MY LITTLE CASE DID, THIS EVENT PACKS THE STANDS, THEY BEEN DOING IT 16 OR 17 YEARS AND ALWAYS A SELL OUT. I HAD 1 SECOND PLACE AND 1 THIRD PLACE FINISH OVER ALL. LOTS OF FUN!!!  THE PAY OUTS WERE PRETTY GOOD, YOU GOT $250 FOR JUST SHOWING UP.

We don't have combine derbys down here. Or none that I know of! I'd love to see one, but to compete in one would be better!! I know where there's two JD 6600 combines sitting that are worthless as far as threshing is concerned. (Everything underneath is completely rusted out). I could buy them cheap, then turn them into derby combines!! Also, what is really the goal during the derbys? Destroy the opponents, or just push them out of the "ring"?

| just like other demo derbys, gotta take 'em out! disable them so they can't move. I would allow you to drive a green machine if in a combine derby! |

Thanks! I sure wouldn't drive a Gleaner in one!
 Unless it was in terrible shape, missing tons of parts, etc. Then I might, and show those JD guys who's boss! Of course, Gleaners don't seem that strong for collision work. They seem kinda thin in the skin. |

I'm just curious...what all goes into prepping a combine for the derbys? Do you modify the drive train or anything? Or can you just get a junk combine running and use it?

| gotta take all the glass outta the cab and then put something in it's place so you don't fall or gits throwed out of the cab. the header has to be welded or chained onto the combine throat. unload auger has to be removed, some places only allow grain heads, but have seen a few with corn heads with the snouts removed. header reels have to be off, steps have to be removed as does about anything that might drop off or fly off or prong another driver. and I've seen where a chain was around the door and post so it wouldn't open accidently. each derby have their own rules, until a standard is set up. also hydro combines work better than belt drive ones do! |
