| Sounds like orders for S7 are HUGE! I'm just hoping for some good late model R66's to come in so I have something more in my budget to choose from. |

| Has anybody else noticed that when you go to the agco website, you have to dig to fine Gleaner? And why is it you can buy a silver massey, but you can't buy a red gleaner? |

| A silver massey would be the A series Gleaners, (which I have one, and I like it, (A76)). But a massey guy can't buy a Gleaner, (transverse rotor) that is painted in massey colors. So what's the point of this rant? I just think it's just one more piece of the evidence that the days of Gleaner are numbered. |

Bigal lets not get into the whole whats what with Agco, But that A series is no more massey then it is JD. Its a white with alot of gleaner added to it. There is no massey in the A series other then a sticker on the side. IG ------------- Education doesn't make you smart, it makes you educated. |

I'd rather see an orange Agco tractor again than a red Gleaner combine. ------------- '49 A-C WD, '51 A-C WD, '63 A-C D17 Series III, 1968 A-C One-Seventy, '82 A-C 6060, '75 A-C 7040, A-C #3 sickle mower, 2 A-C 701 wagons, '78 Gleaner M2 |

| It was actually started by Cockshutt, then developed by White (by what was left of the cockshutt people). Varity had nothing to do with it. Resurected by AGCO, I think it is one hell of a machine, makes a lot more sense to me than the Gleaner. |

They are a good machine, and far more attractive in silver, but I am still partial to the transverse rotor system. After studying it awhile you can't help but appreciate the simplicity of the design. No extra beaters to feed it, and not changing the crop flow direction just makes a lot of sense to me. Of course, that is what we have had on this farm since the N5 in the eighties. I wasn't paying a lot of attention when the M2, or G was here, so the natural flow is about all I have ever worked with. I really don't remember much about the A2 either. I just remember watching the reel on the bean platform, and getting very drowsy-kinda the same kind of drowsy I experienced while cultivating.
This machine is noisy enough we don't get drowsy.

Just curious, hear everyone talking about the high price of the S7, how much? |

Eric I think they are about 330,000.00 loaded up and ready to go to the field. Of course you will still need to buy heads.

Redline your right about the noise. Know some guys with a r72 and when I step out the door I can hear them running and they are about 3/4 mile away.

Case is no better. Very noisy. Deere, if I give them any credit at all, are much quieter. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

I got a call from one of the AGCO combine reps last week, I asked him how the S series are selling. He said that they had more orders than they have had in a long time and are starting to worry about getting retailed units built by next harvest! I told him simple fix, just boost up production and get them out there! Jim |

Wouldn't it make as much sense for an American company to be converting Europe and S.America and everywhere else to American brands and designs, rather than trying to convert the people that helped get you where you are to something they don't want? Seems logical enough to me. Seems to be a real shortage of logic in the decision making these days. Or, at least keep the brands in their rightful places. Kind of a "dance with who brung you" deal. ------------- If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done! |
