New Combine

[HuskerGLEANER]

Well I recently have started my career in farming and harvesting with the purchase of my first piece of equipment, a 2003 Gleaner R75. The custom harvester I help part time in the summer from Kansas found this machine, went through it for me and I have since had it hauled home. I also did some searching and found a 2000 Honeybee 30' draper also in Kansas to hang on it. I would have really liked a 36' for this combine but due to a stretched budget and a decent deal, the 36' will have to be later on down the road. My dad is selling his R52 and we are going to cut his wheat together with the R62 and my R75, plus I will cut his peas and try to get a few custom acres time permitting.. This will allow me to make my payments these first 2 years while I am still in college, and the whole plan in itself is getting the ball rolling and putting me that much farther ahead for when I start farming in 2 years. Anyways on with the pictures, I haven't been home yet so the duals and extensions are not yet on it, these will have to do for now.

Where you working for Streckers? We work in some of the same times in Colorado. They probably have the nicest trucks I've seen on harvest, they're all like show trucks. Best of luck to ya trying to find acres this year. Pray the big white combine doesn't get it all again!!

I don't work for strecker, I work for his uncle, I just had him haul my combine up is all. He does have the nicest trucks I have ever seen also.

Looks like a good machine. I love the sound of those Gleaners at work in the field. It is good to hear from you.

Got home for summer break this week. Got the duals and extensions on.

Looking good. I don't think you'll be upset with the Honey Bee. They don't hold the resale like a Macdon does, but they're 100x better of a header. We have a few HB that are 7-8 years old that are out running our 3 year old Macdons.
