1 Think of it as a combine with some experience under its hood. GUIDE TO PRE-OWNED COMBINES

2 The Heart and Soul of a Gleaner The Heart and Soul of a Gleaner While we ve released several new models in recent years, the core functions of a Gleaner transverse rotary combine are mostly unchanged since their 1979 introduction. Whether you re using a 2003 R65 or a 2014 S88, you still get the advantage of a design like no other combine on earth. All combines have the same goal to harvest crop dependably with the least amount of loss, foreign material, fuel, field damage and interruptions possible. Most combine designs are similar to each other and therefore have similar results. The Gleaner design is fundamentally different and offers a level of harvesting performance that other combines are unable to achieve. We call it Optimum Harvesting Performance, and its aim is to give you more and better results for every minute, gallon, pound and dollar the combine requires of you. Harvesting performance is affected by five core elements, and our approach to combine design addresses these elements in unique ways: 1. The ability of the combine to produce a clean grain sample while minimizing loss. Gleaner combines use a two-stage cleaning process. As crop threshes and separates on the rotor, a set of distribution augers and accelerator rolls thins the crop mat and propels it at 4 times the speed of free fall through an air blast above the cleaning shoe. This air blast pre-cleans crop material before it hits the shoe, which then finishes the cleaning with its lower duct air stream. The Gleaner system offers a superior grain sample because material is cleaned in two stages with two different processes. Because of the position and action of the distribution augers and accelerator rolls, crop material is oriented toward the front of the shoe utilizing the full length of the shoe and reducing the likelihood that grain will be lost out the back of the machine. 2. The efficiency of power delivery from the engine to the threshing and separating process. Gleaner combines weigh significantly less than competitive designs. Requiring less horsepower to move a heavy combine results in more of the combine s horsepower being directed to the processor and not wasted through parasitics. Our design utilizes straight through shafts and avoids 90-degree gearboxes that can rob power. It does not require ancillary feeding systems such as beaters or pre-threshers. Our cooling fan and chopper designs are also designed to require less horsepower than other designs. 3. The utilization of functional space in the combine s systems and the resulting weight, size and efficiency. Gleaner combines thresh and separate the entire circumference of their rotors whereas other designs have a closed top section. The 360-degree threshing and separating area allows the Gleaner to have more separating surface area in a compact design. The design of the Gleaner cleaning system pre-cleans crop before it touches the shoe and drops material in the same spot at the front of the shoe utilizing the entire shoe for cleaning. This differs from other designs that may drop crop in several places on the shoe or direct crop to one side of the shoe. 2

3 4. Reducing the number of times crop must be redirected, moved, compressed or shifted by the combine. Gleaner combines feed crop directly into the processor without shifting, bunching or changing direction. This natural feeding allows smooth and consistent threshing and separating. Other designs must change crop direction between feeding and threshing. This shift in direction can increase wear, damage crop, limit capacity and negatively affect grain sample quality. 5. Controlling the time and expense needed to set and maintain the combine s peak performance across changing conditions. Because the Gleaner design pre-cleans crop material in mid-air and always drops crop at the front of the cleaning shoe, sensitivity to a change in crop characteristics is reduced. The mid-air Gleaner cleaning design resists the effect of gravity on up to 23+% slopes. Competitors designs often require complexity in concave and rotor setup to respond to changing conditions. The axial design is also sensitive to slope that can cause material to build to one side and cause shoe loss. Gleaner combines rarely require changing concaves, and the transverse design of the processor means the majority of service points can be reached while standing on the ground beside the combine.

10 Upgrades Upgrades We are continually studying, testing and refining function of our combines. Many of the innovations that result can be updated to previous models giving an elevated performance. Below are some of our most popular innovations and a chart of which models can be updated with each. CDF Rotor 4 strand feed chain 68 steep-pitch helical bars Auto-reversing cooling fan SmartCooling XR 2-speed transmission Perforated cascade pan 3200 rpm high speed chopper Lowered chopper discharge floor Rear ladder grab handles 5-lug polyurethane accelerator rolls 2003 R5 Series 2004 R5 Series 2005 R5 Series 2006 R5 Series 2007 R5 Series 2008 R5 Series 2009 R6 Series 2010 R6 Series 2011 R6 Series 2011 S7 Series 2012 S7 Series 2013 S7 Series 2014 S7 Series 2014 S8 Series * See footnote below. ** See footnote below. *** See footnote below. See foot note below S8 Series 10 * Prior to the 2008 model year, the holes for the 68 steep-pitch helical bars must be drilled in the rotor cage and newer models have the holes pre-drilled. ** 2006 and newer R Series combines are able to use the auto reversing function of the SmartCooling system but are unable to vary the pitch of the fan blade. All S Series models that use SmartCooling can change the pitch of the cooling fan blade. *** Upgrade kit available in Fall Upgrade kit includes 24-knife chopper, however you can order the high speed kit and retain the 16-knife chopper.

11 11 STANDARD UPGRADABLE NOT APPLICABLE Upgrades See footnote below. 4-lug polyurethane accelerator rolls Clean grain elevator speedup kit Thickened elevator paddles and hardware kit Hard plastic straw spreader paddles Rear feed conveyer double belt drive Spreader motor relocation Optimized spreader curtain Larger 1½" rear accelerator roll shaft bearing, holder and pulleys Unloader auger pillow bearing 1000 NM feederhouse slip clutch Bin loader taper lock sheave Separator blanking kit for specialty crops #60 feed reverser chain Feed conveyer upgrade kit for canola/soybean capacity Spreader motor relocation 2 inches rearward and includes a heavier plate.

3 rows of 3 separator knives break up green material and reduce horsepower requirements. FOUR-STRAND FEED CHAIN Two undershot four-strand feed chains provide high capacity and reliability.

12 Upgrades CDF ROTOR The 24-inch (610 mm) diameter CDF rotor uses six rows of 3/4 in. (18 mm)-or 1/2 in. (12.7 mm)-spaced high-profile bars that are chromed and reversible. The bars build just enough pressure to release grain that often escapes other rotors, while taking less toll between bar and cage on the green-stem material. 3 rows of 3 separator knives break up green material and reduce horsepower requirements. FOUR-STRAND FEED CHAIN Two undershot four-strand feed chains provide high capacity and reliability. (Compression springs maintain feed chain tension.) AUTO REVERSING COOLING FAN & SMARTCOOLING The optional AE50 award-winning SmartCooling system consists of a variable pitch cooling fan with reversing capability. The Smart system monitors key temperatures; coolant, intake air, and hydraulic oil and varies the fan pitch automatically resulting in only the necessary amount of cooling provided. The reduction in fan pitch results in a significant increase in available horsepower and can save fuel. When the separator is engaged, the fan will reverse pitch at full speed rotation for one and half seconds every fifteen minutes to clean the radiator and rotary screen. This reversed blast of air easily removes debris such as soybean fuzz and chaff. 68 STEEP-PITCH HELICAL BAR Mounted between concave and separator side to move and redistribute material reducing any bottleneck and increasing capacity. XR 2 SPEED HYDRO TRANSMISSION All S8 models feature an optional XR twospeed hydro feature that provides greater climbing ability on hills and convenience on the go shifts. The two-speed on the go shift is operated by a convenient push button from the right-hand console. The two-speed hydro features a 30% larger hydro pump. 12

13 PERFORATED CASCADE PAN REAR LADDER GRAB HANDLES 13 As crop dynamics have changed, farmers are harvesting more acres of higher-moisture, higher yielding corn and other high-density crops. Because of this, the 2015 Gleaner has increased shoe capacity by opening up the solid cascade pan area. The pan is slanted at a 6 angle and an additional 992 square inches have been converted to pneumatic cleaning area. This provides additional cleaning capacity and allows high moisture corn and other highmoisture crops to fall through sooner and reach the sieve and clean grain cross auger faster. 3,200 RPM HIGH SPEED CHOPPER 7½-inch diameter chopper drum features 24 knives running at 3,200 rpm. New design features a taper lock hub, larger bearing, larger hardware and round bearing flangettes for greater strength at higher speeds. The stationary knife bed features 6 adjustable lower knives for a finer cut with a retractable feature for reduced horsepower requirements when finer cut is not required. 25-inch grab handles fasten with 4 bolts and provide a convenient way to climb up the ladder into the engine deck. Retro-fittable to all combines 2003 and newer. POLYURETHANE ACCELERATOR ROLLS The injected molded polyurethane accelerator roll lugs provide several times more wear and longer life than previously available rubber lugs. CLEAN GRAIN ELEVATOR SPEED UP KIT A larger drive pulley has increased the speed on the clean grain elevator by 6% over the current rating of 5,000 bushels per hour. This speed increase moves the additional higher-moisture grain away from the shoe faster and is designed to complement the shoe capacity increase from the perforated cascade pan and increased pneumatic shoe area. THICKER ELEVATOR PADDLES AND HARDWARE KIT The thicker paddles and a deeper cup provide more elevator capacity with heavier hardware. Upgrades

Upgrades HARD PLASTIC STRAW SPREADER PADDLES The hard plastic provides substantially greater life than the rubber paddles and provide a more consistent throw of material from the spreader.

SPREADER MOTOR RELOCATION Moves the spreader motor back 2 inches to provide 50% less wear on spreader curtain and paddles and provides for better spread of MOG material.

LARGER 1½ REAR ACCELERATOR ROLL SHAFT, BEARING, HOLDER AND PULLEYS This provides greater reliability to the rear accelerator roll at higher throughputs.

14 Upgrades HARD PLASTIC STRAW SPREADER PADDLES The hard plastic provides substantially greater life than the rubber paddles and provide a more consistent throw of material from the spreader. UNLOADER AUGER PILLOW BEARING This converts any unloader auger from a carrier block on the end to a cast bearing holder and bearing for greater reliability on the unloader NM FEEDERHOUSE SLIP CLUTCH 14 REAR FEED CONVEYER DOUBLE BELT DRIVE Consisting of (2) new 2B belts and (5) pulleys and a 1,000 Nm slip clutch, this provides 50% more power that can go through the drives and increases the speed differential to 10% for better feed rates. SPREADER MOTOR RELOCATION Moves the spreader motor back 2 inches to provide 50% less wear on spreader curtain and paddles and provides for better spread of MOG material. OPTIMIZED SPREADER CURTAIN Provides a wider and uniform spread of MOG to the right side of the combine. LARGER 1½ REAR ACCELERATOR ROLL SHAFT, BEARING, HOLDER AND PULLEYS This provides greater reliability to the rear accelerator roll at higher throughputs. Adds a larger slip clutch on the front feeder house drive and increases the size and strength by 25%. BIN LOADER TAPER LOCK SHEAVE The taper lock provides greater strength for more reliability. SEPARATOR BLANKING KIT FOR SPECIALTY CROPS These blanks can be fastened in on the separator side of the processor to affect shoe distribution in specialty crops like sunflowers and grass seed. #60 FEED REVERSER CHAIN Converts the current #50 chain on the feed reverser to a heavier #60 chain. FEED CONVEYER UPGRADE KIT FOR CANOLA/ SOYBEAN CAPACITY This special upgrade eliminates any wedging of crop to occur in heavy gnarly canola and soybeans for smoother flow of crop and material for faster feed rates and less chance of plugging in these conditions.
