Gleaner R40-R70

After Deutz became the owner, the Deutz-Allis Gleaner combines were equipped with air-cooled Deutz diesels replacing the old Allis engines. The largest model had a 12.8-liter V8 with two turbos. After the axial-flow combines were discontinued from the Gleaner lineup, a smaller R40 was added at the lower end of the rotary combine range, placing it between the former M and L models in terms of harvesting capacity. In both the R40 and R50, the rotor was shorter than in the previously smallest model.

There had been hardly any changes in the harvesting technology since the introduction of Gleaner's first rotary combine. The grain was transported to the transversely mounted rotor by two consecutive straw walkers. The rotor bars were now chrome-plated.
