New XR two-speed hydro transmission

All S8 models feature an optional XR™ two-speed hydro feature that
provides greater climbing ability on hills and convenient on the go shifts.
The two-speed on the go shift is operated by a convenient push button
from the right-hand console. The two-speed hydro features a 30% larger
hydro motor.

All S8 models feature a newly designed heavy-duty DuraGuard™ two­speed rotor gearbox with larger sheave, bearings and belt built for
the higher demands of the S88 machine. It features a wider overlap
on rotor speeds and lets operators run on the high side of the
low range in a lot of crops for maximum efficiency. It also features
reversing capability.

New 230-gallon fuel capacity

All S8 models feature a new 230-gallon fuel tank,
a 53% increase to keep you in the field longer
between fill-ups for more productivity.

Advantages

The higher horsepower rating is lost with higher weight and parasitic loss of the machine.

Combine requires periodic cleaning of radiator vs. no cleaning on reverse cooling.

Gleaner is the only combine with a variable pitch fan that can save 66% of power at
80°F outside ambient temperature. This translates to a 36 horsepower savings at this
temperature.

Gleaner’s flat, even crop mat means the crop doesn’t have to change direction to
accommodate the rotor. All axial designs have a high wear area as the crop changes direction
into rotor intake. The beater in the CIH 7230 and 8230 can break up cob and damage grain.

The Gleaner 360-degree threshing and separation is substantially greater than CIH’s 156°
or 180° threshing and separator grate wrap at the same 30” rotor diameter.

With Gleaner, 66% of the cleaning is done at the accelerator rolls of our exclusive 2-stage
cleaning system. Our shoe is a secondary means not a primary as in the CIH where 100%
has to be cleaned at the shoe. Our accelerator rolls direct all of the crop through the high
air blast to the front of the cascade pan in the same location every time. Over 40+% of the
7230 and 8230 grain pan is solid at the front and is counted as sieve area which never gets
any air so it does no functional cleaning. With the Gleaner, 100% of the shoe is receiving
air from the upper air blast off of the accelerator rolls and the pneumatic area of the shoe.

The CIH 7230 and 8230 have a self-leveling shoe that is mechanical, can wear out and only
levels to 12% slopes. Gleaner accelerator rolls can reduce slope sensitivity up to 23+%.

Advantages

30% larger grain tank on S68 vs.CIH 6130 and 23% larger on the S78 vs.CIH 7230. Gleaner
has largest on any class 6/7 combine. S88 is 11% larger vs. CIH 8230.

33% faster unloading rate on S68 vs. CIH 6130; 11% faster unloading on S87/S88 vs.
CIH7230/CIH8230.

Gleaner faster average unloading rate can unload the largest grain bin in the world in just
over a minute and a half.

Less wear, less horsepower required and less grain damage with Gleaner’s shallow 29°
angle from clean grain cross auger to unloading auger.

The Gleaner frame is stronger and lighter due to its exclusive welded unitized frame.

Gleaner is more efficient and drives are easier to ser vice.

Unlike Gleaner, CaseIH combines have a weight issue and consumes 19 hp. of its available
horsepower just moving the bare combine weight difference of the 8230 through the field
on a flat surface. Wet ground and hills compounds this issue. Though smaller, the CIH
7230 platform still consumes 17 horsepower more of its available horsepower versus the
S78 and the 6130 consumes 12 more horsepower .

Advantages

Gleaner provides a higher percentage of horsepower to the seperator than the Class 6
and Class 7 John Deere combines relative to weight and less efficient drives. The higher
horsepower rating with the John Deere S680 is lost with higher weight and parasitic loss
of the machine.

John Deere’s air scoop requires periodic cleaning of radiator vs. no cleaning with
Gleaner’s reverse cooling.

Gleaner is the only combine with a variable pitch fan which can save 66% of power at 80°F
outside ambient temperature. The savings can amount to 36 horsepower.

Gleaner’s flat, even crop mat means the crop doesn’t have to change direction. All axial
designs have a high wear area as the crop changes direction into rotor intake. The beater
in the John Deere can break up cob and damage grain.

The 360-degree threshing and separation with the Gleaner provides almost 48% more area
than John Deere.

John Deere had to lengthen their shoe to compensate for no self-leveling device.

Gleaner’s cleaning area is not only slightly larger on the S68 and S78, but we don’t rely on
our shoe to do all the cleaning. In fact, we do 66% of our cleaning at the accelerator rolls.
