Posted by JoelMN on November 25, 2005 at 05:13:56 from (129.176.151.6):

At least as far as Gleaner is concerned.

1. What company was the first to introduce
electrohydraulics in combines? Gleaner was first in
1972 with the M & L.

2. Who was first with hydrostatic drive? Gleaner was not
first but started producing Hydro drives in 1968 for the F
& G.

3. Variable control ground speed? From what I can tell
Gleaner offered a variable speed in 1951 with the A.
Hydraulically controled from the operators platform.

4. Auger-type header? Gleaner was first in 1923.

5. Variable control for cylinder speed? Allis-Chalmers
model "All-Crop" in 1935. By variable I mean being
able to change speed with out adding or removing
spacers in the pulley.

6. Stone protection? By at least 1961 Gleaner offered
as standard equipment the stone door on the E.

7. Yield monitor? I found a brochure offering a yeild
monitor on the K dated 1974. The larger L & M might
have had it with their 1972 intro.

8. Shaft monitors? The earliest for Gleaner that I found
was 1972 L.

9. Rasp bars in lue of spike tooth cylinders? Gleaner
was first in N. America in 1923.

10. 12 row corn head? (who was first with 6 & 8 row
also?) Gleaner again in 1979 with the 12 row and N6. It
appears the C Gleaner had a 6 row available in 1961
or 62(not positive), and the CII offered an 8 row in 1965
or 66.

Some other info:
Allis-Chalmers introduced Rub-bar cylinder bars in
1935 on the All-Crop. This made it capable of
harvesting more than 100 different crops. Also flax
rollers helped reach that 100 crop capability and kept
stones from entering the cylinder area.

The All-Crop is widely thought of as the successor to
the binder and thresher as the first combine to be sold
in great numbers.

By at least 1961 quick attach heads were offer by
Gleaner though not as handy as todays quick attach it
turned an all day effort into about a 30 minute job.

I'll do some more research on torque sensing drives
and variable speed corn heads and other innovations. I
believe Gleaner will also be at or near the forefront of
these innovations judging by the history I have found.

PS With the abundance of Gleaner info I have found I
probably will give my speech for Ag class focusing on
Gleaner. Thanks for the info and any additional info you
may add to this project.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U ... [Read Article]
