Straightforward
combines that simply
get the job done
Massey Ferguson’s enlarged ACTIVA range of combine harvesters
are built using proven technology, drawn from over 40 years
experience of designing and engineering harvesting equipment.
They provide growers with a highly cost-effective and exible
harvesting solution.
02
Even the most demanding harvest
conditions are handled with
ease and in comfort, with built-in
reliability ensuring the job gets
done sooner rather than later.
All six models are capable of
harvesting a wide range of crops,
including cereals, grass seed,
maize and sunowers – all to the
same high standards.
Harvesting can often be a race
against time, so it makes sense
to select a combine that you
can depend on for efcient
performance with minimal
maintenance. There’s certain to be
an MF ACTIVA model that’s perfect
for your farming operation.
Build Quality + Reliability = High
Performance
Stringent quality control
procedures throughout the
production process ensure that
every MF ACTIVA combine leaves
the factory capable of delivering
complete peace of mind and
retaining a high residual value.
These machines are built around
an immensely strong, rigid chassis,
underlining their suitability for
harvesting cereals, maize –
even rice; an abrasive crop that
demands considerable durability
and strength of the combine.
Every component has been
designed or specied for maximum
dependability and long life.
Many of the parts that come into
direct contact with the crop are
of increased thickness and often
upgraded by the use of harder
wearing material.
In addition, more than 80% of the
machine is galvanized and painted
prior to being assembled, further
enhancing the combine’s longevity
and resale value.

A smooth rst contact
The multi-crop FreeFlow cutting tables on MF ACTIVA combines
are designed for high capacity and long-term durability.
04
Available in widths from 4.2 to
7.6 metres, the FreeFlow cutting
tables are engineered down to the
smallest detail. The reel bar ends
are protected by caps to stop them
wrapping around which may lead
to blockages - a simple, effective
design.
The table is built around a solid
welded frame with individual
panels bolted on, allowing easy
replacement when eventually
required. With this degree of
strength comes reliability, a long
working life and low running costs.
First contact with the standing
crop is made by a high
performance, self-cleaning
Schumacher knife, giving a
decisive cut before feeding into a
large diameter table auger.
Feathering ngers along the full
length of the auger ensure even
distribution of the crop as it moves
into the main elevator. The cutter
bar operates at 1220 strokes per
minute (equating to 1.73 metres/
second) to provide a clean cut
in all conditions with a very low
power requirement.
All reel adjustments are made
using the hydro lever in the cab,
with automatic cutting height
control as standard (with the
exception of the new MF 7240
model) to optimise performance on
all types of terrain.
An Auto Level table – an option
on ACTIVA models, standard on
ACTIVA S – allows table deviation
of up to 8%, ensuring perfect
alignment at all times.

Threshing system – the
heart of the combine
Massey Ferguson’s design engineers have applied meticulous
attention to this critical area of operation.
A strongly constructed cylinder,
with eight rasp bars and a heavyduty concave, ensure highly
efcient threshing of a wide range
of crops.
The concave’s rear section has half
the number of wires as on the front
section, providing the optimum
balance between high threshing
ability and the free ow of grain
through the concave.
Uniquely, the front and rear of the
ACTIVA’s concave can be adjusted
independently from the cab,
allowing the operator to select the
appropriate settings for greater
output and minimal crop damage.
With this system, it is possible
to work with the concave in the
parallel position to boost output
when conditions allow and
preserve straw quality.
The ABC Module
This innovative component is
located beneath the rear beater
and offers several advantages:
• It provides an additional 14
degrees of concave wrap, so
increasing threshing capacity.
• It controls the ow of straw
onto the walkers from the rear
beater, improving separation.
• Its angle of operation can be
adjusted to account for straw
length and moisture levels,
optimising separation on the
walkers.
MF ACTIVA S - Advanced
threshing system
MF ACTIVA S models feature the
Power Feed Roller (PFR), which
improves crop transfer between
header and elevator by distributing
the crop over the full width of the
elevator housing.
In addition, ACTIVA S combines
have the patented Multi Crop
Separator plus (MCS Plus), a
system that allows the concave
to be removed completely for
sustained performance in wet
conditions or high yield situations.
Versatile straw management
The threshing and separation
processes on MF ACTIVA
combines can be adjusted to
provide a gentle straw treatment
– a particularly useful feature on
farms where the straw is to be
used for livestock bedding.
Even under difcult harvesting
conditions, such as when the straw
is dry or brittle, the best quality is
always achievable.
This also ensures that a high straw
yield per hectare is generated
and a good swath for baling is
produced.
(On the subject of baling,
Massey Ferguson remains at the
forefront of baler technology and
builds a wide range of square,
large square and round balers
– there’s certain to be one that
meets your requirements precisely
so talk to your MF dealer).

Achieving the best
possible sample
One of critical factors in the harvesting process is to maintain a
consistently good grain sample. Massey Ferguson’s threshing,
separation and cleaning system helps to ensure this goal is
achieved – in all harvesting conditions.
08
Grain pan
The motion of the pan ensures the
grain stays at the bottom with the
lighter material and chaff remaining
at the top. The grain pan is the
same width as the threshing drum
for maximum output while the
high longitudinal dividers ensure
an even feed from the pan to the
sieves in sloping conditions.
Sieves
High Capacity Sieves (HC Sieves)
move in opposite directions and
deliver an optimum airow with
high adjustment tolerance at
the same time. In dry conditions
particularly, and when the straw
is short and dry, the sieves still
produce the best possible grain
sample at high capacity. High
separators on the top and bottom
sieves maintain an even layer of
material – even when working
on slopes.
Fan
The powerful fan has three inlets –
one on each side and another on
the top – distributing airow over
the complete width for maximum
efciency. It can be adjusted from
the cab between 350 and
1050 rpm and there’s the option
for running the fan at lower
speeds in the 270-840 rpm
range for lighter crops.
A choice of 5 or 6 Straw Walkers
for efcient separation
Long, durable straw walkers
are hot-dip galvanised for high
separation performance and long
life. Each one features four
210 mm-high ‘active steps’
with 150 mm travel and extra large
vents for efcient thinning out of
the straw mat.
Thicker metal is used for the front
steps to deal with the ow of straw
coming from the Active Beater
Concave (ABC) module, while the
fully-welded walkers are of closed
bottom design, ensuring great
strength of construction, improved
reliability and an even feed of the
grain pan.

Handling residues to cut
cultivation costs
All MF ACTIVA models are equipped with a multi-adjustable
straw chopper, designed to give unmatched chopping/spreading
capability, and making these combines ideal for subsequent
min-till operations.
10
The double serrated rotating knives
produce superb chop quality from
a very low power requirement.
The stationary knives and straw
chopper hood can be quickly
adjusted to ensure full control
of quality and spread, and an
adjustable dimple plate can deect
the chopped straw back up into
the rotating knives for a ner cut.
The straw chopper is engaged
automatically and simultaneously
with the threshing system, once
the straw deector plate and
chopper hood are in the correct
position. It’s very quick and easy
to convert the chopper when
harvesting maize merely by
changing the speed and adjusting
the deector plates in the hood.
A chaff spreader is an option on all
models.

Ease of unloading
With grain tank capacities of up to *8800 litres, these combines
unload at an impressive rate of 85 litres/sec and the 4.0m auger
provides more than enough unloading height (4.20m) and reach to ll
high-sided trailers.

With grain tank capacities of up to
8800 litres (on the new MF ACTIVA
7247 S model) these combines
unload at a rate of 85 litres/sec
and the 4.0m auger provides more
than enough unloading height
(4.20m) and reach to ll high-sided
trailers. A grain level alarm informs
the driver when the grain tank
is full.
Wear is kept to a minimum as the
auger ights are manufactured
with Hardox steel to extend their
working life. In fact, wherever
there are changes of direction
in the grain handling zones the
auger ighting is double thickness.
The elevator end caps are bolted
to facilitate quick and easy
replacement.
A large window in the rear of the
cab allows the operator to monitor
quality and tank level, and there’s
an additional inspection hatch
close to the cab entrance.
Powerful engines; smooth
transmissions
Driving ACTIVA combines through
all harvesting conditions are highly
fuel efcient engines, reliably
delivering all the power required
to get the crop into store in the
shortest possible time.
Centralised radiators ensure
extremely effective cooling of
the engine, hydraulics and air
conditioning. A rotary screen ips
up for easy cleaning, while a dust
extractor maintains free airow
even in the dirtiest conditions.
The ACTIVA range transmission
has a 3 speed mechanical unit with
hydrostatic drive.
The ACTIVA S benets from a 4
speed unit with slightly higher
road speed and also offers a
wider speed range for different
conditions. The gear change lever
is conveniently positioned to the
right of the driver.

14
All ACTIVA combines are simple
and straightforward to maintain
the number of drives has been
designed to a minimum. In addition,
there are just four greasing points
that need daily attention.
Tanks and llers for various uids
are ideally located for checking
levels or topping up. The same
applies for the engine air lter.
Large, hinged panels provide easy
access to machine components
as
and the simplicity of the drives
means belts can be replaced
quickly without the need for
special tools or training.
The main drive engagements for
the threshing unit, table, unloader
and straw chopper are simple,
over-centre belt arrangements,
where tension is held by spring
pressure, requiring simple springlength checks for adjustment.
An aluminium ladder, giving access
to the engine bay, can be detached
and moved around the combine to
reach other components.

electrically adjustable mirrors,
the cab’s long list of features also
includes an air-suspended seat
(MF ACTIVA S), adjustable steering
03
column and comfortable training
seat (not on the MF 7240).
The AgritronicPlus monitor and
the right-hand console provide
all the information needed by the
operator throughout the harvesting
process, including harvested area,
engine rpm, losses, etc.
Clearly identied cutting table
controls are grouped around
the hydro lever, with additional

The MF 7240 ACTIVA combine
boasts a straight-forward,
uncomplicated design and
provides cost-effective combine
ownership at the highest levels of
durability and reliability.
All the main functions are
monitored by a clear and concise
electronic display. For added
comfort, air conditioning is a
standard yet essential feature
within the cab.
Like all Massey Ferguson combines,
the ACTIVA 7240 is equipped with a
turret unloading auger that empties
the 5,200 litre capacity grain tank
quickly and precisely.
Powered by a highly fuel efcient
176 horsepower engine, the
MF 7240 ACTIVA offers the usual
high standard of features including
ve straw-walkers; built for reliable,
long-term operation.
It is simple to operate too, with no
superuous functions or controls.
All the main threshing elements are

01 FreeFlow Table
To improve cutting in difcult conditions, the table angle
can be altered. Working with the high-speed Schumacher
knife, crop can be gathered easily by the large diameter
auger tted with full length retractable ngers.
02 Main Crop Elevator
The heavy-duty crop elevator is built for maximum
durability in the toughest harvesting conditions.
03 Threshing Concave
The threshing concave is a unique, independent, adjustable
concave which enables front to rear alteration to maximise
crop threshing and separation.
04 High Inertia Threshing Drum
The ACTIVA uses a large diameter drum.This maintains an
even speed in difcult, undulating conditions - maximising
threshing ability, output and reducing fuel consumption.
05 Straw Walkers
Our straw walkers are longer with high steps and active
walls to maximise grain separation and increase output.
06 Cleaning System
Clean samples can be obtained from the large cleaning and
high performance sieves.
07 Chopper
Using 4-rows of serrated knives on the rotor and serrated
stationary knives with a high peripheral speed, crop is
chopped nely with an even spread.
08 Cab
The ACTIVA cab offers long harvesting days with comfort
as standard; all functions are easy to operate and the cab
offers incredibly low noise levels.
09 Grain Tank
The grain tank maintains clean grain discharge, adequate
volume and prevents water from entering.
10 Engine
For optimum performance, reliability and low fuel
consumption, powerful, fuel efcient engines are used.
11 Unloader System
Getting grain off the machine is as important as getting
it in. The ‘turret’ un-loader prevents grain damage whilst
maintaining high-speed delivery.
12 Serviceability
Delivering low harvesting costs is essential on a machine.
This can be achieved with reduced component numbers,
simplicity, and great reliability with easy access. Daily
maintenance is kept low due to less components.
13 Power Feed Roller (PFR)
Unique to the MF combine, the Power Feed Roller
improves the feed from the header to the elevator whilst
giving even crop material to maximise threshing and output.
14 Multi Crop Separator Plus (MCS Plus)
A rotary separator is tted behind the beater to give
centrifugal separation of the grain and to agitate the
straw on the walkers, increasing separation and
achieving higher outputs.
