Fleet Management Technology The AGCO Connect telemetry solution helps you manage every aspect of your field, from service intervals to diagnostic errors, so you can proactively manage repairs and get back in the field faster. Lightweight, Accessible Design With a significantly lighter weight than competitive combines in its class, the Gleaner T Series reduces fuel consumption and soil compaction for better soil health and increased yields. The simplicity and straightforwardness of its Maximum Access Shielding design provides increased access to critical components for quicker, easier maintenance. DURA DRIVE GROUND DRIVE SYSTEM The new Dura Drive ground drive system in all T Series Gleaner combines provides more control, responsiveness and functionality than ever before. Operators will use a CVT-style Multi-Function Lever to make the fine adjustments needed to attach a header at low speeds as well as rapid speed changes for field and road travel with ease and confidence. The system uses a two-range transmission that hydraulically shifts between a high and low range “on the fly”, without stopping. This allows the operator to pull onto the road in low range then shift to high range to quickly hit the maximum 25 mpg (40 kph) road speed for transport. The wide range of speed also gives operators the torque needed to climb steep hills, the speed to keep up with the grain cart when unloading, and the ability to rapidly decelerate and stop the machine. New braking system and locking differential. An added dimension of control provided by the Dura Drive ground drive system is the new braking system. The previous external drum brake system has been changed to an internal braking system to increase reliability and effectiveness of the brakes. The new system uses an efficient ball-and-ramp system for more applied pressure with fewer moving parts. By being located inside the transmission, the brakes are better protected from the elements. To boost traction in challenging conditions. Dura Drive features a locking differential that is engaged through the Tyton™ terminal in the Gleaner cab. When the differential is engaged, both wheels equally pull the machine through the field. When one wheel loses traction, the other continues to pull through the field instead of all power going to the slipping wheel. An optional Rear Wheel Assist axle provides even more traction in adverse conditions. For headland turns when the outside wheel needs to spin faster for a tight turn, the system automatically disengages the differential lock when it sees the steering turn more than 10 degrees. When the steering returns to center, the differential lock is automatically engaged again and can stay locked during field use to be ready for unexpected wet ground conditions. NEW FEATURES Added features and innovations designed for top performance and ease of use to meet today’s harvesting needs. New Multi-Function Lever. The new CVT-style Multi-Function Lever (MFL) puts full and precise control of the speed and direction of Gleaner T Series combines at the operator’s fingertips, eliminating the former “Z” pattern and increasing comfort. Moving the MFL in the direction of travel increases speed and in the opposite direction of travel decreases speed. The farther the MFL is moved in either direction, the faster the machine will accelerate or decelerate. To stop machine, hold the MFL in the opposite direction of travel. To rapidly decelerate and stop the machine, move and hold the MFL to the left. Cruise speeds are set by pressing the lock button on the MFL and moving the handle to the right. New Hydraulic Propel Pump and Motor. To support optimum performance and control of the new Dura Drive ground drive system, the hydraulic propel pump, motor and drive have been updated in the Gleaner T Series. The improvements provide more refined movement of the machine when making small adjustments in speed and direction. Along with the updated propel components, the hydraulic reservoir and filtration now use a different charge and in-tank return filter, all located inside the engine compartment. While designing the T Series styling, Gleaner engineers put function first not only in terms of better access on both sides and at the back of the machine, but they designed a way to integrate the optional backup camera in a central position for better operator visibility. The T Series sports a more modern look while maintain the distinctive Gleaner silhouette and the use of sheet metal to keep the machine lightweight, durable and easy to repair if needed. New Maximum Access Shielding and Styling. In the first major shielding update since the Gleaner S7 Series launched in 2011, the T Series shields have been redesigned to simplify access, making it easier and faster to check, maintain and clean the combine. There are fewer latches to unfasten; remaining latches are easy to reach; sturdy gas shocks support the shields when open; there is no longer a need to fold shielding down to get the rotor open; no need to use tools or remove bolts on shields. That’s Maximum Access. DELUXE CAB PERKS Choose between two trim levels for the comfortable, quiet Vision™ cab on the T Series: the Standard Operator Cab or the premium Deluxe Operator Cab. With the Deluxe option come several offerings new to Gleaner: Two Factory-Installed Cameras. The deluxe cab option includes two cameras installed at the factory, with images from both shown in the Tyton terminal in the cab. The back-up camera is integrated into the rear panel of the combine and automatically displays when the machine is in reverse. The other camera is installed at the end of the unloading auger, giving the operator full visibility of where grain is being placed inside the grain cart while unloading on the go. AutoTurn. Using AutoTurn to automatically turn the machine at the headland to go right back into the crop saves time and helps eliminate multi-point turns as well as the stress on the operator of turn decisions and making manual turns. Refrigerator. Keep food and drinks cold with a convenient refrigerator in the cab that has five temperature settings, all the way down to 28.4°F (-2°C) THE NATURAL FLOW PROCESSOR Feeding. The Natural Flow process starts at the front of the feeder house. Two 39-inch-wide (1-meter-wide), four-strand feed chains quickly move material form the header to the rotor. Because the rotor is fed from the side, rather than the front, there is no need for a feeder impeller or beater to force crop into an inlet or transition cone. This results in two benefits: less damage to the crop and less horsepower needed to move large volumes of material into the processor. Cleaning. Gleaner combines can create a more efficient and effective method of cleaning the material from the processor that gets a cleaner sample in the grain tank, regardless of the slope. Two distribution augers located below the processor move material evenly over the cleaning shoe. This is a direct advantage over designs with axial rotors that tend to load one side of the cleaning show more than the other. Two accelerator rolls propel the grain and chaff four times the speed of free fall through the first stream of air from the cleaning fan toward the front of the cleaning shoe. The lighter chaff is unable to pass through the first blast of air and blows out the rear of the machine. The combination of both the distribution augers and accelerator rolls allows for consistent and even leading of the cleaning shoe on grades with up to a 23% slope. The second air blast from the cleaning fan and shaking action and large cleaning area of the cleaning shoe then finishes the process of creating arguably the best grain tank sample in the industry. Threshing and Separating. The way the Gleaner combine threshes and separates grain is truly what sets it apart from other designs. Because the rotor is positioned transverse to the travel of the machine, the Natural Flow processor is able to thresh and separate at a high capacity. The separator cage uses a full 360 degrees of separation, reducing the length of both the rotor and cage but allowing for the same amount of separation area as other designs. Reactive Air Control. To further reduce loss from the show, we’ve developed the reactive air control system that reduces losses at the headlands of the field when crop flow volumes are reduced. When the header is raised above the yield cutoff point, the cleaning fan choke closes to an operator-determined position to reduce the air volume and reduce the loss due to the lower volume of material from the processor. When the header drops below the yield cutoff, the choke returns to the operating position. RESIDUE MANAGEMENT Effective residue management is vital to ensuring the results of next year’s crop. Gleaner combines can process and spread the material from both the rotor and the cleaning shoe evenly to promote better residue decomposition and a better seedbed for next year. Rotor Discharge Options. Two options are available to handle the discharge from the rotor. A standard impeller moves the material from the discharge area of the rotor down to the hydraulic spreader. If the material must be chopped, an optional Fine Cut II chopper is available. The Fine Cut II uses 24 blades around a 7.63-inch (19.3-centimeter) drum spinning at one of two speeds — 1182 or 3303 rpm — to destroy material leaving the rotor. A set of stationary knives can increase the level of chop when harvesting small grains or soybeans. Spreading. The material from the rotor discharge and the cleaning shoe is evenly spread behind the machine using a hydraulic straw spreader and hydraulic chaff spreader. Straw spreader speed is easily adjustable from the operator cab and is maintained by closed loop control. The straw spreader and chaff spreader are able to evenly spread material in a swath the full width of a 40-foot-wide (12.2-meter-wide) header.
