Gleaner R55-R75

The 5-series Gleaners were introduced for the year 2003. The smallest model was discontinued. The exterior was clearly stylish, but underneath the covers, the technology remained largely unchanged. Following Gleaner tradition, the combine was built on a separate frame. The width of the widest header had remained 910 cm throughout the entire history of rotary combines. Using two long straw walkers, the grain was transported to the transverse rotor located above the sieves. The first model of the rotary combine, the N6, weighed under 9,000 kg, whereas the now similarly sized R65 had gained weight up to 12,500 kg. The engines used were Cummins, which in the two larger models were electronically controlled. The cab was the ComforTech II, where the instruments had been moved from the steering column to a pillar, and for the first time, an actual control armrest was introduced. Indicator lights and monitoring devices remained on the ceiling, following Gleaner tradition.
