Gleaner R70 Combine Parts

R70 parts and accessories

The Gleaner R70 combine, manufactured from 1986 to 1992, offered farmers a powerful and reliable harvesting solution. Powered by a robust diesel engine producing approximately 270 horsepower, it could handle a variety of header widths. Its efficient rotary separator design contributed to its popularity, providing excellent grain quality and minimal losses, making it a favorite for harvesting crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans.

The Gleaner R70 was introduced in 1986 and continued production until 1992, building upon the legacy of the Gleaner brand. This combine featured a Cummins L10 270 horsepower diesel engine with a displacement of 611 cubic inches. It employed a transverse rotary separator design, known for its efficient threshing and separation capabilities. The grain tank held approximately 300 bushels, and the unloading auger could discharge grain at a rate of around 100 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 15 to 30 feet, accommodating various field sizes and crop types. Options included straw choppers and spreaders for residue management. The R70's cab offered improved operator comfort and visibility compared to earlier models. It excelled at harvesting a wide range of crops, including wheat, corn, soybeans, and other small grains, offering farmers a versatile and productive harvesting solution.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain damage. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on the crop being harvested.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect and adjust belt and chain tension regularly to prevent slippage and ensure proper operation of all components. Loose belts or chains can lead to inefficient harvesting and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep the sieves and chaffer clean and free of debris to maintain optimal cleaning performance and prevent grain loss. Regular cleaning will improve grain quality and reduce the risk of plugging.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure smooth operation and extend the life of the bearings. Neglecting greasing can lead to bearing failure and costly repairs.
