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.
01 Double serrated knives are protected by closed knife
ngers for maximum strength and good performance.
02 The multi-coupler is standard for MF ACTIVA S models
and optional for MF ACTIVA models. With one action all
hydraulic connections linked.
03 Automatic height control (Terra Control) for
comfortable work in all conditions.

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.

01 The fully-integrated cleaning system
produces quality samples with high-output.

directly on the chassis for a reliable and
vibration-free functionality.

Sieves (HC Sieves) prevents short straw
from overloading the cleaning system.

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.
