(July 7, 2011) – During the 2011 <strong>Gleaner</strong> ® Road Show, producers will be able to see howthe new <strong>Gleaner</strong> S7 Super Series combine works on the inside as the combine smoothly glides througha field during harvest. Using an AgCam mounted inside the machine, the <strong>Gleaner</strong> Road Show team willcapture video of the combine’s natural-flow two-stage feeding system and transverse rotor as itprocesses and cleans the crop. The video will be displayed on field-side monitors. The 2011 <strong>Gleaner</strong>Road Show is occurring from July through November, moving northward with the small-grains harvestand then through the Corn Belt.“We’ve talked a lot about the benefits of our natural-flow two-stage transverse rotor system, andnow we’re literally showing it in action,” says Kevin Bien, product marketing manager for <strong>Gleaner</strong>. “Bymounting one of the cameras beneath the accelerator rolls, we’ll be able to show producers how thegrain is pre-cleaned before it reaches the cleaning shoe. They’ll be able to see how much less materialother than grain (MOG) arrives on the cleaning shoe. Our process essentially makes the shoe asecondary cleaning device rather than the primary cleaning system as on other combines.”With less MOG on the cleaning shoe, the detrimental impact of gravity is reduced, so the machinecan operate on slopes of up to 23 percent without self-leveling devices required on other combines. Theunique two-stage cleaning system of the <strong>Gleaner</strong> S7 Series combine also provides increased harvestcapacity though the machine is as much as 2.5 tons lighter than competitive Class 7 machines.
