B y I t s e l fGLEANER Takes Harvesting InA New DirectionWhen GLEANER engineers began looking at therotary concept back in the 1960s, they saw a problemwith conventional wisdom. Every rotary combine onthe market had the rotor oriented in line with theframe and feederhouse. That meant the crop had tochange directions as it entered and exited the rotor.Not much has changed on competitive models since.From the very beginning, though, GLEANER hada better idea! Why not turn the rotor crosswise, socrop material could follow a ribbon pattern from thefeederhouse to the straw spreader? For more than25 years, the unique GLEANER transverse rotor hasset the precedent in rotary combine design. We callit Natural Flow Processing. It’s just one of the uniquefeatures you’ll find on a totally unique combine.Center-Line DesignThe GLEANER center-line design, with its balancedweight distribution, provides improved performancein extreme conditions and reduces field compaction.The balanced design, combined with heavy-duty axles,also allows GLEANER to carry some of the largest graintanks in the industry—245 bushels on the R55, 300bushels on the R65 and 330 bushels on the R75.One-Piece FrameAll GLEANER combines start out on a one-piece,all-welded mainframe for greater strength andreduced maintenance. The sturdy mainframe helpskeep shafts, bearings and sprockets in truealignment, even on the toughest terrain.Beauty Is More Than Skin DeepThe silver metallic, high-gloss urethane coatingthat covers every GLEANER combine is a thing ofbeauty on its own. But the galvanized steel that liesunderneath is even more appealing. Impervious torust, for a lifetime of durability, galvanized steel hasbeen a GLEANER trademark since 1923.A Choice Of Unloading AugersGLEANER is the only combine brand on themarket that offers you a choice of unloading augersto match your harvesting style. Standard on all modelsis a swivel-style system, featuring a 12-inch diameterunloading tube. However, options on the R65 andR75 include a 14-inch diameter unloading tube; a longspout option, with its additional 14 inches of reach,and a turret style unloading system that allowson-the-go unloading on uneven terrain or into hightransport vehicles.03 04 05 06G e n e r a t i o n s o f I n n o v a t i o n
