AGCO’s Gleaner® brand marks 100th anniversary with model year 2023
15 Juni 2022 - 02:30PM
AGCO Corporation (NYSE: AGCO), a global leader in the design,
manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and
precision ag technology, celebrates the centennial anniversary of
the Gleaner® brand. The 2023 model year marks 100 years of
farmer-focused innovation and a simple harvest experience unlike
any other in the industry.
“From the first self-propelled harvester to our
innovative S9 Super Series combines, Gleaner provides the
reliability and experience North American farmers count on,” said
Matt LeCroy, marketing director, hay and forage North America for
AGCO Corporation. “We’ve spent a century focused on building the
best combine for farmers in the field. Staying true to our core
competency allows us to offer higher productivity, better grain
quality, and more cost-effective equipment. We’re excited to
celebrate this important milestone with Gleaner fans, old and new,
as sales open for model year 2023 equipment.”
Meeting harvesting needs from the
start In 1923, Curtis, Edwin, and Ernest Baldwin developed
the Gleaner combine to make harvesting more efficient, less labor
intensive and more enjoyable for the farmer. Prior to the invention
of the self-propelled harvester, crews of up to 12 were required to
cut, bind, thresh, and bag the grain for storage. The Baldwin
brothers, who farmed in central Kansas and ran a custom harvesting
crew, recognized the productivity and economic benefits of
combining these processes with one machine.
The Baldwin brothers’ innovative approach to
quality, comfort and straightforward design remains the guiding
principles of every Gleaner combine built since 1923. Today,
Gleaner continues to push the boundaries of product quality with
farmer-focused designs. Gleaner combines offer the innovations
farmers need for productivity, versatility, and state-of-the-art
comfort without being overly engineered. Features like the Natural
Flow™ transverse rotor system provide smoother material flow and
eliminate pinch points in high-moisture and green-stem conditions.
Large-diameter rotors and constant-pitch helical vanes provide more
capacity and minimize grain loss for maximum productivity.
Additionally, Gleaner cabs are designed to keep farmers comfortable
during long days in the field. They are equipped with a luxury
air-ride seat, an armrest-mounted control console, a large entry
door and an advanced climate-control system.
A century of innovation and
improvementGleaner continued to improve combine design in
response to those who depended on the machines the most — farmers
and custom harvesters. Gleaner combines were the first to
incorporate a rasp bar threshing cylinder located directly after
the header. This design created more consistent threshing and
allowed for a larger cleaning area in a smaller machine.
Understanding that visibility and comfort are critical requirements
of operators, Gleaner combines continued to feature a center-line
mounted cab and rear engine deck — rather than front-mounted
engines and off-set cabs favored by other manufacturers. To provide
more efficiency and productivity to keep pace with changing
agricultural process, Gleaner introduced the first 12-row corn head
and the industry’s first and only transverse rotary combine with
the Natural Flow processor. Gleaner provided more flexibility for
custom harvesters and farmers with the first draper head with a
fully flexible cutter bar — the DynaFlex® — and the first Class 8
transverse rotary combine — the S88.
Specialized harvesting
experience The current series of Gleaner combines
continues the traditions established by the Baldwin brothers. The
S9 Super Series produces better grain samples with less effort and
economic input from the farmer. The fully welded frame and
intelligent use of components to transfer power makes the S9 Super
Series one of the lightest and most efficient combines in every
class size. The Natural Flow processor provides a very high quality
grain sample while the spacious grain tanks, with a capacity of up
to 390 bushels, allow for optimal productivity.
“The simple and straightforward design of the
Gleaner combine, that has been refined over the last century,
offers our customers an industry-leading harvesting experience,”
LeCroy said. “Being single-mindedly focused on designing combine
harvesters to suit the farmer in the field allows Gleaner to
surpass others in terms of ease of use, industry knowledge and
reliability. As we celebrate our 100th anniversary, we continue to
look to the future of agriculture and keep our sights focused on
designing combines that meet the needs of tomorrow’s farmer.”
