Gleaner R65 Combine Parts

R65 parts and accessories

The Gleaner R65 combine, manufactured from 1996-2005, delivered dependable performance for grain harvesting. With a robust engine producing approximately 285 HP, header widths up to 30 feet, and an efficient rotary separator, the R65 was favored by farmers for its high capacity and ability to handle diverse crops. Its simple design and reliability made it a popular choice for many harvesting operations.

The Gleaner R65 combine harvester was a workhorse introduced in 1996 and produced through 2005, building upon Gleaner's legacy of innovation in harvesting technology. Powering the R65 was a Cummins 8.3L diesel engine, delivering approximately 285 horsepower, ensuring ample power for even the most demanding conditions. This model featured an Axial-Flow rotary threshing and separating system, known for its gentle handling of grain and efficient separation. The grain tank held approximately 300 bushels, and the unloading auger had a discharge rate around 2.5 bushels per second (150 bu/min). Available header widths ranged from 20 to 30 feet, allowing for optimized harvesting across various field sizes and crop types. Options included a chopper and spreader for residue management. The cab offered basic operator comfort and controls. The R65 excelled in harvesting a wide range of crops, including corn, soybeans, wheat, and sorghum, and was known for its versatility and robust build quality.
