Gleaner k unloading auger height?

If we parked just right we could dump into Unverferth 325 but it was close.

on the F2,there is a stop welded in place to position auger when unloading. Weld a new stop ahead of original. I wouldn't go more than 6in or so in difference at end or your u-joint won't like it.

K gleaner is a manual swing out & lock it type unloader auger. If it is setup with 18.4-26 drive tires, it'll reach over a 8.5'-9.0' tall sides of wagon (most older 200-300 bu wagons). If 16.9-26 tires, then a little less height.

Yup real practical if your spread out over 20-30 fields.

No wonder you got a B that mentality deserves a F.

Many areas of the country don't have terraced fields.

Trucks are too expensive to insure here in ontario.. I have a limited budget and The wagons work good. I have a 400 and a 200 in a pair.. Maybe for corn It would be slow but works great for beans.. only problem is the tractor doesnt seem to go faster than 12-13mph 

yes that is right.. I'm going to fix the other header too, Just seems like I'm broke down during the best weather so if I had 2 running machines I can keep going. I need to do better pre season maintenance so I minimize breakdowns I could have prevented.

Nothing wrong with a backup machine. Even if you do good maintenance, freak break downs can still happen.
The PO of my Super 100 used it a mere 10 years before getting a Gleaner E. He kept the 100 as a backup though, and did need it occasionally.

Nick...after we broke down on a Saturday evening one year, and nothing/nowhere to get parts the next day, we bought the little "K" I still have. bought it for a backup machine in case a breakdown happened again in years to come. and it did happen again, and that little K was a crop saver since we did have that problem in later years a couple times. one time we were able to finish up the next day with the backup machine just before a blizzard hit! it didn't always sit idle, even when harvesting with our bigger machine. several time when the dew set in in the evenings and stayed until late mornings, we could harvest corn with the big machine, and still harvest beans with the K when the dew was off, not having to change heads all the time. worked real well! and after seeing what we were doing by some of the neighbors, they too now have backup machines for "just in case"! the big green farmers don't have them, but they should...would sure beat waiting for the dealer to come re-program their combines when the computers take a dump! which has happened a lot this year by the 2 closest ones here! one lost a whole good day of harvesting because of that!   

You commented about the fuel efficiency of gas versus diesel above, and indicated you didn't think you had enough acres to be too worried about it.  I'm paraphrasing, so don't shoot!  So if we take that at face value, the economy isn't enough to worry about.  One thing I'd think over if I was you is what does storing the combine with the old gas in it, and or having gas around to put in it, mean to you?  Gasoline these days doesn't keep for crap it seems.  Will you be using the machine often enough and long enough to turn over the fuel in the tank or is the gas going to get old?  Is your carb going to varnish?  Will it be the backup or the main one?  Do you want to fart around with Stabyl or whatever to help with the gasoline situation?

nothing wrong with gas combines, I've had 5 of them thru the years. they do the same thing as the diesels do. some got good GPH, and some didn't do as good. on my 2 "G" combines, the V-8 got better GPH running than the 6 cyl one did. both ran the same heads. and we now have a lot of stations selling non ethanol gas at the pumps. I had a 100 gal tank with 12V pump in the back of my pickup for the combines. when done combining the remainder of the gas went to the lawn mowers.

Finally the plus sides of farming steep sidehill land,you have a machine you can tilt. Filled many a grain trailer with extensions when we cut safflower.Lean them over to make sure the auger dose not hit.

how much is saving a crop worth compared to a few extra dollars in fuel?
