glener k2 diesel

Looking for a gleaner k2 diesel with a grain header and possibly a pick up header as well. Good working condition. Located in oregon but willing to travel.
 
What about an f 2 then? They seem bigger. I have an E that is getting wore out and want to get something a little bigger than the E but still small enough for my small farm with narrow gates and roadways. K2 seems like a good option. I do less than 20 acres of grain per yr but a variety of types, wheat, oats, barley etc. Would like to do smaller grains and clover and possibly beans
I like the gleaners easy to work on but would go with another brand in the same size as the K2
 
An F2 is a bit wider than a K2, but otherwise many parts are the same, and gives you about 25 percent more capacity. You can put a 3 row narrow corn head on an F series but not a 2 row. 10 header will also fit either, just be sure the correct adaptor plates and drives are with the head.

Be aware that a 3 row 30 inch head on an F, even with 18.4 tires, is nearly impossible to maneuver without knocking down corn. At least it's that way here, where ground gets greasy easily.
 
If you're only running 20 acres anyway, is there some reason you're bent on having a diesel? A K2 gas has a 250 Chevy 6 cylinder. Pretty economical little engine to operate.

This is my K2 gas. Love that little machine. I still get giddy every time I look at it.

My dad had the exact same unit, a K, and a 10 foot head.... it covered over 100 acres every year for the 20 odd years we had it. Good little unit. Moved up to an F2 and have had an M3 for almost 15 years now, but that will be the last one....

Newer gleaner F series got progressively wider, my F would fit down 30 inch rows, the F2 fit down wide rows but it would bend over the 30 inch stalks, and the F3 was wide which was great in my mud, but pretty much drove on the outer 2 rows.

You,would need the real narrow dish of the old F series to make a 3 row work on a F, and then it would be real tight. I think I have seen 2 headers that were 3 row, and Ive seen 2 headers that were set up for 6 rows to put on a F series in my life. They really are 4 row machines. I ran the old F a lot of years with 4 row wide got 90 bu in the tank. Was much nicer running the F3 with 120 bu tank on 4 row 30 inch, but by then I had increased corn yields enough I was still dumping at both ends.

There was one FL330 head around here, and that was on an early, plain F. The guy gave up on it as he was knocking over too much corn. We don't have a lot of slope right here, but just enough so that when it's wet, it's amazing how much a combine will slide! The FL330 had been through about 3 owners, but was still like new! I took it and welded in a narrrower mount and used it on an E, then a K2.
 
I have to agree with you on that. My niece's husband bought an F. Drove it home yesterday morning. I went over to see it. It's got a 4 row wide on it. He's looking for a 4 row narrow. Stand behind that thing and look at the header and it looks like a narrow row will barely skin by. I know they'll work and will drive on the outside rows, but it looks sketchy when you're just standing there looking at it.
 
You can get different offsets for the rims to narrow it down. I put a set of rims from an M on my F2, with 18.4 x 30 tires...kept it narrow and the tall tire worked better in soft conditions.I agree, a 23.1 x26 tire is a really tight fit.
