    They ever get around to painting them? All jokes aside used to be lots around but no dealers close. Remember neighbours had them and mechanics would fly in to fix them. Battleford still sell them? Local guy has a couple along with his other brands.

      No Gleaners here. Case IH 1688. It hauls ass, bought it used, previous owner had it top notch, it has to be turned up a little. I really like it.
      Our retired repairman ran Gleaners up against anybody doing custom work. Easy to fix and underrated capacity. I know if only one farmer who owns a couple, they finished harvest last week.
      They sound like a simple logical cost effective machine, my problem is I get married to my shrapnel, , run it for a decade then, when I retire, no auction sale, straight to the smelter!!

          West of Blaine Lake. They are organic and run Gleaners. A Dad and 2 sons or something like that. The Dad is a real character, fun to talk with. They are good at what they do.
          I think he started with a case ih rotary back in the day, changed to Gleaner and never looked back.
          Times change, farms are showing progress around here, if you’re not changing 2-12 combines every second year, your not really farming.
