Gleaner expands line
Gleaner has added the 245-bushel R55 to its Five Series rotary combine line, which also includes the R65 and R75.
The R55 comes with a 230-horsepower turbocharged, six-cylinder, Cummins engine. The four-speed, hydrotraction drive transmission offers three field gears with speeds reaching almost 17 km-h. The fourth gear reduces transport time between fields with road speeds up to about 32 km-h.
Its one-piece, all-welded mainframe gives the R55 greater strength while reducing maintenance by keeping shafts, bearings and sprockets in true alignment. The centre-line arrangement and balanced weight distribution are designed to stabilize the combine while reducing field compaction by spreading the load across a wider area.

Westendorf scrapers
Westendorf Manufacturing has a new land scraper for landscaping, forming and maintaining drainage ditches, constructing terraces, removing snow and spreading rocks or gravel.
The scraper is available in eight, 10 and 12-foot models and comes with a six-inch high carbon steel cutting edge. Its hubs and bearings are interchangeable with Westendorf’s standard WW-1610 wagon.
The land scraper features grease zerks at all pivot points, a gauge rod to show cutting depth, a heavy three-inch lift cylinder and 15-inch standard rims.
It also has an extra strong tongue constructed of square tubular steel and a large weight box which provides additional cutting pressure. The land scraper’s patented system allows each wheel to be adjusted independently to provide a maximum 12-inch tilt on the cutting bar. Tilt adjustments can be made by a manual crank or with the optional hydraulic cylinder.
The Westendorf land scraper has a heavy jack stand that provides easy hookup to pickups. An optional travel lock ensures safe transport over long distances.
