Combines C62 vs R62

[Kelly]

We had both of them in the same field cutting wheat this summer. Both of them can be set to clean the wheat very well which is part of the Gleaner trademark. The C62 has more throughput capacity than the R62 in tough conditions such as heavy weed populations or damp conditions. The R62 is going to have less field loss than the C62 as the C62 is still going to have the same problems that plague conventional machines (ie walker loss). The C62 is better than other colored conventionals in that superior engineering has overcome a lot of the walker loss problems that other makes have. In extemely weedy areas, the C62 could probably out cut a R72. If the C62 was painted green, it would be the number one seller in the North American market.

I herd that the C62 and a deere rotary were cutting in the same field of edible beans.

I heard you are full of crap.

 

[agcofan]

Yeah well you heard wrong.

What year was the R62IJ Do you know how many reverse bars or if they were extendedIJ I wouldn't mind if the C62 could keep up with 260hp R62 but if it could get by the 285hp R62 or the R72 we would need to do some more tweaking. I've heard alot of great stuff about the C62 but I'm still a dealer that is a rotary nut.

The R62 is a low houred (not polished) 2000 model with the 285 hp engine. I am pretty sure it has the extended cylinder bars and reverse bars would be whatever is standard with a corn-soybean machine. Remember this is a conventional machine so horsepower is not the limiting factor but walker and shoe loss is the limiting factor. C62 had above average power, also. In adverse conditions, there isn't a rotor that can keep up with it although you might not want to look behind it for grain loss.
