Gleaner R62 Combine
The Gleaner R62 was a Class 6 transverse-rotor combine produced from 1992 through 2002. It has a strong reputation for efficient crop flow, a clean grain sample, and useful capacity in a relatively straightforward, serviceable package.

What the R62 is used for
The R62 was designed for commercial grain production, including corn, soybeans, wheat, and small grains, on medium-to-large farms. Its Class 6 capacity fits a 25- to 30-foot platform or six- to eight-row corn head in normal crop conditions.
It is still a practical used combine for owners who value the Gleaner transverse-rotor layout and can support it locally. Later Cummins-equipped machines are particularly sought after, while earlier Deutz-powered examples require attention to local engine-parts and service availability.
Why the Gleaner R62 stands out
The R62 is popular for combining strong capacity with the Gleaner natural-flow design, which many operators value in dry grain and small grains. A 300-bushel tank, 260-hp rating, durable basic layout, and active aftermarket and salvage network sustain interest in well-kept machines.
Buying a used Gleaner R62
Inspect the rotor and cage, concaves, accelerator rolls, feederhouse floor and chains, unloading system, clean-grain elevator, hydrostatic drive, and variable-speed/header-drive components. Check separator hours separately from engine hours, look for wear or cracking around the frame and grain-tank area, and identify whether the machine has the earlier Deutz or later Cummins engine before planning support. Confirm configuration-specific figures with TractorData.com and manufacturer records.
Gleaner R62 frequently asked questions
How much horsepower does a Gleaner R62 have?
The R62 is commonly rated at 260 hp.
How big is the R62 grain tank?
The standard grain tank capacity is 300 bushels; aftermarket or owner-installed extensions can change the actual capacity.
Is a Gleaner R62 a good used combine?
A maintained R62 can be a very capable used combine, especially where Gleaner parts knowledge and support are nearby. Inspect rotor, feederhouse, hydrostatic, and header-drive wear carefully.
Specifications are commonly cited figures for general reference; exact figures vary by year and serial number, so confirm against TractorData.com and the machine's records. Values and prices of used combines vary by condition, hours, and region. Page updated Aug 4, 2026.
