It's probably an Iveco engine. Case IH uses them in there combines now. I think that the Cummings would be a much better choice but thats just me.

AGCO owns there own engine company, a Finnish company called SISU. Massey tractors have been runnning it in 180 horse tractors and up. The AGCO tractors are now putting it in the big one with the smaller ones coming soon. Very simle motors and very good fuel consumption. Go to AGCOcrorp.com and click on SISU. Cummins is decent but to many problems with differnt cummins dealers not wanting to work with the ag side.

What you are saying is the R85 is going to be the new Massey class 9 combineIJ How is Gleaner going to sell the R85 since they have been preaching the natural flow concept since the 80s.

Simple Rockpicker, the natural flow system is a very good system, were just out of capacity. The inline can be made with more capacity. But once again all you need is horsepower to jump classes ie; John Deere.

He is feeding you a line. If anything like that shows up next year it will repeat of the N-6. Not enough research. If those specs are right I think it would be a class 9 or 10 machine. You would need only 375 HP with a 350 bushel bin to be a class eight.(The big green only has a 300 bushel bin on a Supposedly class 8) There is no way Agco is going to make that big of jump.

I notice the current gleaners have a 25" dia cylinder. Can't they increase the dia to something like 28-30". If they do that, increase the shoe size, and up the hp, Gleaner could at least advertise they have bigger threshing_cleaning components from one size to another unlike a certain brand.

Most days the diameter of the cylinder isn't the limiting factor; it's the feederhouse width that feeds the cylinder that causes the problem. Imagine a throat that was 6" to 10" wider to the RH side of the machine!!!! WOW!! In tough green stem beans you'd never need the feederhouse reverser!!!! But the Gleaner guys aren't going to go that way, they are gonna paint a Massey silver.

Haven't heard any specs,but the new big Gleaner will most likely be a silver Massey.And I believe it's going to be different than the current massey's.
