Im my opinion the big stink with the 60-70 series R combines was that they lengthen the discharge shoot from the previous N series and in green soybeans or green wheat you could have issues with the material hanging in that discharge shoot too long and getting kind of plugged back there. To solve the issue they installed a rattle back there to keep material flowing and worked well but as other said it added to the moving parts therefore more things to possibly give fits. They also had a dual spinner straw storm straw spreader which did a good job but at the same time, lots more moving parts back there also. Not that is a bad combine but if this is your first Gleaner, I would tell you to step up to the 62 series. We had a 70 series without the discharge rattle and only had a plugging problem in green soybeans once, but like I said before if is your first Gleaner I would move on to a newer model because those issues will more likely show up for someone who isnt familiar with the machine.
