On the way to the field this morning 5 truck drivers met a gleaner combine on a truck. Four of them commented that the rear appeared to have rounded corners and one asked if anyone else saw a 9 on the side.
Any one else seen anything like this?

It was probably an A-series axial Gleaner. They aren't being produced anymore but had rounded rears.

We used to run a A86 so I know it wasn't one of those.

There is no way a transverse could have a rounded rear, it would screw with the discharge system. Now I could be wrong, but I highly doubt its a transverse.

They could easily round that off. All it is a plastic shell around it. Could easily be done. Not sure why they would do this. What's wrong with what they have now? Just not as pretty as all the other plastic machines? That melt easily. Lol

The current transverse combine bodies are not plastic, but sheet metal. The axial bodies are plastic.

I went and looked at a S 88 today. The new graphics wrap around the back. It must have caused the illusion that the rear was rounded.
