Alan Haines, Sales Support
Specialist for Massey Ferguson
Harvesting, UK, talks us through
the key points of the PowerFlow
header.

“PowerFlow® is simply the most
efficient cutting table available
on any combine harvester.”

“Its two key features of massive
knife-to-auger clearance and
powered conveyer belts combine
to give head-first, even feed into
the machine. A simple process
that makes an outstanding impact
and works with all crops, in all
conditions.”

The lightweight yet solid •
construction is durable and
long-lasting
Perfect, even feed first time •
improves threshing, securing
a good quality sample and
increased separation will result
in higher output
The driver is guaranteed an •
excellent view of the crop
and the full width of the table
making it less stressful to
operate
Any stones picked up during •
harvesting will be deflected
away from the table by the
belts, resulting in lower
running costs

07

In control with
PowerFlow

With PowerFlow you can specify
the following control systems:

Pre-set cutting height for
effortless headland turns

Just one click to lower the table
to your pre-set height, which also
incorporates two additional height
settings for precision cutting.
Double clicking will raise the table
for perfect headland turns.

Cutting height control

Continuously adjusts the cutting
height as you harvest across the
field for even stubble height.

Field pressure control

Allows the table to follow the
ground contour giving the lowest
possible cutting height for laid
crops or peas, beans and
grass seeds, without the risk of
“bulldozing” the soil. Field pressure
control allows you to speed
up your harvesting in difficult
conditions with confidence.

Auto Level table

Continuously adjusts the table
left and right to ensure you follow
the contours of the field. Sloping
ground or uneven fields are
no obstacle to achieving
maximum output.

Auto reel speed

Adjusts reel speed to ensure
your selected ‘forward speed
to reel speed ratio’ is maintained
as you harvest.

Schumacher knife system

With the most efficient table you
need a top performing knife.
PowerFlow tables are fitted
with the Schumacher system
offering high performance, high
speed cutting knives with double
supported durable fingers.
The ‘under and over’ cutting
process gives quality cutting in all
conditions.

Oilseed rape auger

An optional rape auger can be
fitted which increases performance
in tall crops. The hydraulically
driven auger is mounted above the
standard auger. It allows forward
speed to be increased markedly,
making oilseed rape harvest
extremely quick compared to
normal headers increasing output
and margins..

Folding dividers can be mounted
for quick turnarounds and safety.
Easily fitted crop lifters can
be installed from their own
storage position on the
table when required.

HyPerforma Threshing &
Separation Technology

The Massey Ferguson HyPerforma Technology is a finely tuned
combination of precision engineering and proven technology.
The Hi-Inertia threshing system, Hi-Performance concave, rotor
feeder and Hi-Separation rotors forms the synergy between crop
and combine.

10

Today's modern farming continues
to be a challenge. Larger areas to
combine and quotas to fulfill as
well as the occasional race against
the elements means that you need
a machine that you can rely on in
order to meet that small window of
opportunity during the harvesting
season.

Jakob Bro Sorensen, Manager
for European Combine
Engineering spearheaded the

project with colleagues in four
different countries, from the first
weeks of research and design,
through to testing and finally

the manufacture of
Massey Ferguson's first hybrid
Combine Harvester. Here he talks
us through the process behind
the formation of the HyPerforma
Threshing Technology.

"The Hyperforma Threshing
system has been developed
and tested in controlled lab
systems to ensure the highest
possible material throughput and
afterwards confirmed in real 1:1
field testing. We were able to get
the power consumption down
to a very low level by fine tuning
the conversion from tangential

01

separation to axial separation with
a large receiving zone at the front
of the rotors together with the rotor
feeder’s high volumetric capacity."

"The 40mm threshing concave
opening is exceptionally useful,
especially in rape seed where the
machine is really able to process
large quantities without damaging
the straw.
The essential thing about the
Hybrid concept is to thresh
and separate the grain from the
straw so that it falls through
the separation grates and into
the cleaning shoe, retaining an
excellent straw quality."

"The large, 475mm
diameter rotors with spiral
pattern fingers provide a
gentle grain separation
and have remarkable
'separation efficiency'
even at low speeds."

"The intention with the design
of the rotor and rotor housing
has been to create a system that
is universal and demanding no
changes between different crops.
The only variable in the rotor
system is the speed of the rotors.

That makes it very easy for the
farmer to switch between crops.
Machine changes have to be kept
to a minimum to allow the operator
to spend as much time and effort
on harvesting rather than changing
configurations."

Crop is taken from the main elevator into the Hi-Performance Concave (1) and •

Hi-Inertia Threshing Cylinder (2).

Feeder (4).
The Rotor Feeder then splits the crop and feeds consistently high amounts of •
material into the large loading bay (5).

Hi-Inertia Threshing Drum and
Drive Belts

The Hi-Inertia threshing drum
has heavy-duty backing bars
which creates weight on the
outside of the drum, forming an
inertial, flywheel effect. This effect
ensures consistent speed - even in
undulating loads, maintaining high­output with high productivity.

Robust belts which are able to
withstand heavy material loading
from the threshing drum. These
one-piece, heavy-duty belts have a
longer working life which reduces
downtime and extra servicing.

Hi-Performance Concave

Meeting the increasing demand for
intensive output and higher yields
is simple. We have taken
the proven design of the
Hi-Performance concave and
combined it with new drum
technology and introduced it on all
MF DELTA machines.

This productivity boosting concave
design has been created to
produce excellent grain samples
and return high grain separation.
Concave clearance can be
adjusted to a full 40mm to allow
for high volumes of material to
pass through. This is particularly
effective in oilseed rape, where
it becomes easier to thresh and
produces an excellent sample, and
in wheat, where overthreshing is
prevented and separation is higher.

Pre-Threshing Rub Bar

The solid construction of the
Pre-rub threshing bar ensures
a smooth, even and clean feed
into the concave. The rub bar
threshes the crop before it enters
the concave so grain is released
sooner, improving the sample and
producing higher-output.

Maximise output all day
long with Constant Flow

Constant Flow is a simple yet effective way to obtain high levels of
productivity and output.

16

Increasing output dramatically

The key to increased output is to
keep the combine fully loaded.
When the crop thins, the combine
needs more material to keep it
running at 100% capacity.

To operate Constant Flow just
engage via the Datavision screen.

Sensors mounted within
the threshing drive system
continuously measure the load of
crop passing through the drive and
concave.

Reaping the benefits with Constant Flow

Constant Flow ensures the machine is fully loaded at all •
times during harvesting
Ensures optimum output - More grain harvested •
per day
Reduces losses by ensuring maximum throughput•
Produces cleaner grain samples•
Less operational effort needed•
Reduces operator fatigue•

Constant flow gives continual crop
feed by automatically adjusting
the forward speed in relation to
the amount of material passing
through; monitoring the machines
performance at the front to reduce
losses at the rear. This maintains
optimum productivity even in the
toughest crop. Output can be
increased by up to 15% in a wide
variety of crops with lower losses.

Protecting your crop,
every step of the way

This is where your crop begins its journey to true productivity.
A massive 500mm in diameter rotor and wide inlet loading bay
ensure total crop-flow efficiency and gentle handling through to the
Hi-Separation rotors.

The rotor feeder ensures smooth
and consistent transition of the
crop from the threshing unit to the
Hi-Separation rotors.

The large diameter rotor feeder
creates a flywheel action, forcing
the grain to the outside of the rotor.
In turn, this force splits the crop
and sends it effortlessly through to
the two rotors.

The belt input drive for this rotor is
highly productive, providing 98%
efficiency so the force required to
place the crop in the loading bay
is lowered, reducing the need for
extra power whilst minimising fuel
consumption.

A separation grate fitted below the
feeder releases grain that has been
pushed outward by the centrifugal
force of the rotor, improving grain
separation and maximising output.
This grate ensures that maximum
grain removal is achieved from
the HyPerforma system before
the crop reaches the Hi-Separation
rotors.

Massive potential for separation
begins here; from the first point of
contact with the main concave to
the end of the separation grate.
The three concaves offer an
impressive 1.9m
area. The grate has a large wrap
angle of 53
highest amount of grain possible.

Thanks to the overall design of the
rotor feeder, even the toughest
crop will flow through the machine
effortlessly, using less power and
fuel whilst maximising productivity.

Loading bay

This unique, large entry area
maximises material throughput and
efficiency by accommodating a
massive volume of material.
Crop flows from the rotor feeder
through to the loading bay and
then onto the Hi-Separation rotors
without restriction or the use of
extra power.

New dimensions

4.2m in length, 475mm in diameter. The Hi-Separation Rotor
System from Massey Ferguson holds the key to precision
harvesting with its class-leading dimensions.

Massey Ferguson has over thirty
years of experience with rotary
technology so it comes as no
surprise that we now have the
largest, most efficient Twin Rotor
Separation System on the market
today. Using proven design and
technology which allows you to
achieve maximum grain separation
with minimal straw damage, the
clever structure of both rotors
pushes the crop evenly along the
entire length.

Intelligent rotor design

The contra-directional rotors with
their spiral-auger design pull the
crop in and then drive it to the
outside with centrifugal force.
This means more crop can pass
through at a consistently high
capacity, with no blockages and
at a much higher output than
normal conventional or rotary
combines.

Specially designed separation
fingers are placed in a spiral
formation along the length of both
rotors to assist the movement
of the crop. These fingers are
angled specifically to reduce straw
damage and ensure high grain
separation.

The speed of the rotors can
be adjusted to lower speeds in
delicate crops such as beans, peas
and oilseed rape.

Concave Separation Grates

The design of the concave
separation grates underneath
the twin rotors ensures easy
throughput low crop resistance
and prevents straw damage.

The grates have a uniquely smooth
surface with a special ‘finger-type’
design ensuring maximum grain
removal without damaging the
crop. The design of these grates
allows for maximum grain removal
and prevents straw entering the
cleaning system.

The science behind a
clean grain sample

Experience an exceptionally clean grain sample and keep losses
to a minimum with the unique Venturi Cleaning System from
Massey Ferguson.

24

The Venturi Cleaning System
delivers high levels of cleaning
performance to achieve excellent
grain samples whilst losses remain
at a minimum. The system creates
an optimised airflow across 100%
of the sieves surface.

The aerodynamically designed
air inlets situated in the middle of
the fan housing create a “venturi”
effect, raising the air velocity
which allows the system to cope
with the large amount of material
passing through the threshing and

separation system, separating the
grain cleanly and efficiently away
from chaff and dust. Increased
pressurisation from the airflow
underneath the sieves enables
larger volumes of material to be
lifted, separated and cleaned.

Benefits of the Venturi Cleaning
System

Unique design increases •
airflow pressure in the centre
of the cleaning system
Boosts cleaning potential•
Increased pressurisation •

Reduces grain losses•

Thomas Bojsen, Test engineer
and shop foreman for the
MF DELTA combine, explains
the concept behind the Venturi
Cleaning System

“Based upon the simple and highly
effective fan on the MF 7200 Series
CENTORA combine, we were able
to take the design one step further
to develop the new Venturi
Cleaning System.

Any Combine with a fan, and
especially in sections, faces the
problem of ‘dead or low zones’ in
air distribution across the width.”

“The Venturi Cleaning System
transforms this “dead zone” into a
highly active area by pulling in air
from the vacuum created by the
Venturi wings.”

“During the testing and
development of this system,
we realised how perfect our air
distribution became without
adding any complexity to the
design. It’s simple and it works!”

25

Reaping the benefits
with high-output
unloading

Time is money when it comes to unloading so don’t lose a minute
of the most important part of your harvest.

The MF Delta combine is equipped
with everything you need to
unload your grain efficiently and
productively. The Delta boasts a
vast grain tank, a high capacity
turret design discharge auger and
the cab offers an unobstructed
view of the unloading operation.

The ultimate in productivity

10,500 and 9,500 litre grain tank
capacity means more space for
more grain. The flat-land MF 9280
Delta combine has a massive
10,500 litre capacity grain tank
whilst the MF 9280 Delta Auto
Level machine has an impressive
9,500 litre capacity. The grain tank
can accommodate an immense
volume ensuring maximum
efficiency with less downtime,
more output and less operator
fatigue.

110 litre per second
unloading rate!

The MF Delta has an awesome
unloading rate of 110 litres per
second. To unload, simply press
the foot pedal. The discharge
rate can also be electronically
controlled from the cab.

Turret system

All DELTA machines have a long
spout fitted as standard for precise
and fast unloading.

Push button operation returns the
spout to the home position once
unloading is complete.

Electric grain lids

The electric grain tank lids open
easily via the Datavision monitor.
They are waterproof and can be
closed when it rains and also when
combining under trees around the
headland.

100% in, 100% out

What comes out of your machine is as important as what goes
in. The MF 9280 Delta ensures quality output every time with high
performance straw chopper and the optional Maxi-Spreader.

Stress-free baling

Thanks to the DELTA’s Hyperforma
system, straw fed through the
machine suffers less damage and
is much easier to pick up when
swathed. A single lever diverts the
straw from the Straw chopper to
leave a swath on the ground ready
for baling.

The MF 9280 DELTA combine offers
an even chop of short straw and
now with the new Maxi-Spreader as
an option, you get even, controlled
spreading every time.

Residue handling – the key to
lower incorporation costs

The DELTA range is equipped as
standard with the Min-Till Chopper.

The Min-Till Chopper has eight
rows of serrated blades, 108 knives
and has a faster rotor speed than
many standard choppers.

This means the minimum chopped
length of the straw is very short.
This ensures quick breakdown of
the straw which is ideal for No-Till
or Min-Till cultivation systems.

The chopper can achieve a spread
of up to 9 metres. An additional
‘dual chop’ bar can be engaged
easily for even more aggressive
chopping action.

Easy access to the chopper ensures
plenty of room for servicing knives.

Electric control of deflectors

Fingertip control from the Datavision
screen can reverse the deflector
settings when turning at the
headland.

The Maxi-Spreader (Optional)

To ensure successful straw
decomposition and higher crop
yields, the following year, the
optional Maxi-Spreader will
distribute an even thickness
across the entire width of the 9.2m
Powerflow header.

The optional Maxi-Spreader
consists of two rotating impellers
which propel the crop at high speed
over a long distance.

The speed of these impellers,
350 - 1000 rpm can be controlled
from the Datavision screen.
If working in windy conditions,
the impellers can be adjusted to
compensate against any wind force
by regulating the speed.

A splitter deflector sits between
the impellers and controls even
distribution of material, improving
crop breakdown and preventing
clumping. The splitter deflector
ensures a consistently even spread.

On the move

At the push of a button, the
Maxi-Spreader can be raised
during transportation. This simple
procedure takes seconds and no
tools are required.

Always one step ahead

We understand and recognise our responsibility towards a cleaner
future. In response to environmental and economical change we
are meeting the expectations of our customers and our dealers,
putting us one step ahead when it comes to energy, economy and
engine efficiency.

AGCO SISU POWER engines are
robust, powerful, durable and
the most efficient on the market.
The MF 9280 DELTA is the first
combine harvester to have the
AGCO SISU POWER SCR engine
as standard, giving you exceptional
fuel efficiency, low noise levels,
reduced emissions and increased
power density.

AGCO SISU POWER’s new
generation of 7-cylinder, diesel
engines with SCR are optimised
to provide the most complete
combustion possible. The E
system enables the engine to be
optimised for lowest possible fuel
consumption, whilst managing
ultralow particulate levels, meeting
the Tier III EU emissions legislation.

How it works

Once the exhaust gases leave
the engine, all that remains to be
done is to reduce the nitrogen
oxides. This is done with the help
of Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR). It is an effective and
thoroughly tested method of
cleaning exhaust gases and a
tried and trusted solution which
is already being used on our
MF 8600 Series flagship tractor
range.

3

SCR

A mixture of urea and deionised
water known as AdBlue
injected into the exhaust gases.
The heat of the exhaust system
transforms the urea into ammonia
which reacts with the nitrogen
oxides in a catalytic converter,
converting them into harmless
nitrogen gas and water vapour.

Selective Catalytic Reduction can
cut fuel consumption by a minimum
of 5% compared to equivalent
engines using alternative emission
reduction systems. On average, this
is the equivalent to thousands of
litres of fuel saved every year.
Reduced fuel consumption means
a significant reduction in carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions. Due to
highly optimised combustion,
particulate emissions are over
83% lower than current legislation
demands. This is exceptionally
beneficial for the environment and
to people’s health. Other gaseous
emissions, such as hydrocarbons
and carbon monoxide (CO)
emissions, are lower than generally
in Stage 3A engines, making this
engine safe and future proof.

®

is

The characteristics of the SCR
system means that optimised
combustion generates around
15% less heat.This reduction in
heat means the cooling package is
lighter and more efficient.

The life span of SCR equipment is
equal to the engine’s lifetime, and
the system is practically service
free. The operator hardly notices
the presence of SCR at all. What
the operator will notice however, is
the significant savings in
operating costs.

SCR - Frequently asked questions

What is Adblue®?

AdBlue is a urea based diesel
exhaust fluid which is injected via
the Bosch control system into the
exhaust, which includes a catalytic
converter.

Where is the Adblue tank
located?

Adblue is kept in a separate tank
located next to the fuel tank.

How will SCR improve fuel
efficiency?

SCR will fine tune engine
efficiency, optimising combustion
which significantly improves
horsepower and fuel economy.

Where can I purchase
Adblue?

Adblue can be bought from your
local Massey Ferguson dealership.

What is the ratio of Adblue to
a tank of fuel?

A 600 litre container of AdBlue is
enough to treat 20,000 litres of
diesel safely whilst still allowing for
optimum performance.

How will I know if I my
Adblue tank is empty?

A gauge on the Datavision screen
gives a visual warning when the
tank is low.

Will my combine shut down if
my Adblue tank is empty?

Your combine will not shut down
but will not work to its full capacity.

Will Adblue stop working
under extremely hot
temperatures?

No. Adblue is kept in a sealed
container to prevent evaporation.

Urea would have to be exposed
for a prolonged period before any

degradation could be measurable.

Will Adblue and SCR impair
the performance of the
machine?

Not at all, in fact it will improve
its performance. Optimised
combustion generates around
15% less heat, a reduction in heat
means the cooling package is
lighter and more efficient. The life
span of SCR equipment is equal
to the engine’s lifetime, and the
system is practically service free.
The operator hardly notices the
presence of SCR at all. What the
operator will notice however, is the
significant savings in operational
costs, servicing times and fuel.

31

Auto Level:
King of the field

32

The MF 9280 Combine is available as an
Auto Level machine, where the combine
rump levels independently, adjusting for
slopes of up to 12%

Ideal when working in steep or
hilly conditions. The Auto Level
combine follows the contours of
the field, enabling the machine
to work at maximum efficiency
on gradients.

The Auto Level system is
controlled and managed through
the Datavision screen. This
makes seamless adjustments
to the machine and table whilst
harvesting.

All the internal components are
kept level which means they
can continue to operate at
full productivity. The body of the
combine will remain level whilst
wheel movement compensates
for the slope.

‘Whole machine levelling’ is
more efficient than ‘component
levelling’ as slopes affect the
whole threshing and separation
process, increasing output and
profit.

33

Comfortably in control

The MF 9280 DELTA combine offers exceptional comfort and
serviceability plus you’ll feel perfectly at home with straightforward
and efficient ergonomics.

Throughout your long working
day you’ll find that our combine
cabs are quiet and vibration-free,
allowing you to carry out the
harvesting without distraction.
Tinted glass and climate control
come as standard and electronic
controls put everything at
your fingertips.

Sitting comfortably?

The standard air suspension seat
suits drivers of every shape and
size, and the ‘3D’ (tilt, telescopic,
incline) steering column, allows
the driver to find the perfect
working position. There’s plenty
of leg room too, for long working
days. In addition to this there is a
convenient upholstered
instructor seat.

Perfect visibility - day or night

Twelve, high-powered front work
lights as standard ensure round­the-clock productivity, in comfort
and safety. The entire cab area has
excellent visibility thanks to the
panoramic windscreen, giving a
uninterrupted view of the header.

Fast, accurate unloading

The operator has a perfect view
of the unloader so there’s no need
to lean forward uncomfortably.

Unloader engagement is protected
so that it cannot be switched on
accidentally. It can also be locked­on for static unloading.

Complete control

The Multi-function Lever is part of
the armrest on the seat, making
operating adjustments convenient
and easy; like the Datavision
screen, it can be adjusted precisely
to suit the operator’s driving
preference. Datavision screens
can also be selected from the
Multi-function Lever, in addition
to extending and closing the
unloading auger.

Fast access to all areas

Two daily greasing points
means a quick turnaround in
the morning. Our engineers
have designed the DELTA to be
harvesting for as long as possible
keeping down-time to
a minimum.

The solid engine cover offers safe
and secure access to the grain
tank and protects the engine from
the elements while closed. When
open it offers unrestricted access
to the engine service points.

Cooling air for the radiators is
effectively filtered by the rotary
screen. Access for cleaning
is quick and easy from the
engine bay.
Two-piece side panels provide safe
and unrestricted access for routine
maintenance, and a detachable
engine bay ladder enables the
operator to reach every area.

Datavision and the MF DELTA combine

Datavision is very much a part of combine operation. It is a key tool
for getting maximum efficiency from you and your machine in an
easy-to-use way. Datavision comes as standard.

Collecting, monitoring and
interpreting information is a
key element of any successful
enterprise today and farming is no
exception. It enables closer control
of costs, better use of time and
more accurate measurement
of performance.

But don’t assume that you need
to be an expert in electronics to
benefit from Massey Ferguson
Technology – it may be extremely
clever and highly advanced, but
it’s very simple to set up and
operate.

36

What can Datavision do for you?

The screen position is adjustable for comfort and has a clear easy-to-read
display. It enables the operator to see up to eight different functions of his
choice simultaneously. You can, at a glance, ensure that you are getting the
best from your machine.

You can improve your efficiency, as it is easy to adjust major settings,
including sieves and concave clearance, from the screen.

Datavision makes operation easier by having a single clear point of reference
and is large enough to be looked at quickly and understood.
It provides protection and warnings for the machine and operator, avoiding
unnecessary cost and time loss. There is a diagnostic feature, which saves
time for you and your dealer when servicing or trouble-shooting.

It can provide logging information on yield and combine performance, which
forms the basis for Precision Farming.

You will benefit by choosing one of the integrated systems for yield mapping
and data-logging that we offer. A choice of yield metering equipment is
available to match your Precision Farming requirements.

Yield Mapping, for future gains

Massey Ferguson pioneered yield monitoring on combine harvesters in
the 1980’s and continues to lead with the most accurate, easy-to-use
systems available.

The Datavision terminal can provide data that is compatible for most third party
Yield Mapping software programs making it the ultimate information station for farm
management.

AGCOMMAND

Get near real-time access to valuable machine information that
will help you increase your machine’s performance, productivity and profitability
with the AGCOMMAND telemetry system from AGCO’s Advanced Technology Solutions.

AGCOMMAND telemetry system is accessed directly from any internet enabled computer
and offers an abundance of machine data to improve management and profitability of your
operation. AGCOMMAND will log and transmit many different and important pieces of
information, including engine status, vehicle location and maintenance records and hours
of work. A detailed history of service information, such as oil and filter changes is also
available. All of this valuable information can be viewed via the website.

With AGCOMMAND, your machine information is always at your fingertips. AGCOMMAND
will send alarms directly to any mobile phone or via e-mail. Alarms can be set to alert you
to a variety of situations. AGCOMMAND can be used to send an alarm if the machine
leaves a pre-defined boundary. At virtually any time of the day or night, you can know
where your machines are and what they are doing.

The machine’s owner also has theoption of providing their dealer with access to machine
hours, current location and service history, allowing the dealer to anticipate upcoming
maintenance and to schedule a service call to maintain optimum machine performance.

A confident future in
harvesting

Adam Sherriff, Marketing Manager for Powered Harvesting explains
why the DELTA combine was commissioned.

“We started this project by
asking farmers with large
capacity combines and larger
combinable areas about
their key requirements. The
feedback from this process
was that they were looking
for a higher output machine
that would give consistent
performance, with reliability
and low running costs”.

In order to do this, Engineering
was spared no expense to
provide an efficient solution
for threshing, separation
and motive power. Our tests
have shown this concept will
be reliable and durable and
unequivocally justify the reason
to purchase.

The MF DELTA combine
has been designed for high­productivity in high yielding
crops, minimal losses,
unbeatable straw quality, and
low fuel costs.

It’s time for change –
Massey Ferguson have every
confidence the MF DELTA
will do this successfully for
all professional farmers and
growers.

38

We have also looked very
carefully at the backup required
for such a machine, provided
training and reviewed the
aftersales support necessary
for this type of combine and for
you, the customer.

Get the right output and
professional support for your
harvest, now and in the future
with the MF 9280 DELTA
combine from
Massey Ferguson.

MF 9280 DELTA highlights

For a productive future in superior harvesting, look no further than
the MF 9280 DELTA combine from Massey Ferguson.

The MF 9280 DELTA combine harvester from

01

Massey Ferguson is the perfect combination of
efficiency and economy.

PowerFlow: This world-renowned ‘cutting platform’ can

02

deal with the harshest conditions and the highest of
capacities. It has ‘quick crop’ changeability for complete
versatility. PowerFlow is standard on both models.

The Hi-Inertia threshing cylinder at the heart of the

03

combine boasts exceptional threshing and separation
results. This highly effective system provides outstanding
grain samples and well-designed components guarantee
fuel efficiency.

Performance enhancing Constant Flow is a superb

04

feature which allows the combine to work at maximum
capacity and optimum output by sensing the load on
the cylinder and varying the machines forward speed to
match the crop, ultimately boosting ouput whilst keeping
losses to a minimum.

Separation is achieved by two high capacity rotors. Spiral

06

patterned fingers ensure a smooth transport along the
rotors for higher output.

The NEW Venturi Cleaning System increases airflow

07

through the sieves, maintaining high cleaning performance
to achieve exceptional grain samples and increase

productivity.
