WHO SAYS BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP ?

The beauty of the new MF 9000 Series combines extends beyond flashy side panels and paint. Look deeper, beneath the new, large swing-up side panels, and you’ll find a high performance combine that will pleasantly surprise you with its inherent simplicity and user-friendly design. Having only 1/3 the number of belts, chains, and service points that some competitive combines have is what sets the MF 9000 Series apart from the crowd. Service times and frequencies are reduced. Longevity is increased. And most important, annual upkeep costs are consistently the lowest in the industry. The MF 9000 Series combines can be the biggest asset to your bottom line.

Hinged side panels allow easy access to machine components on both the right and left sides. A movable worklight can be mounted on the back side of the swing-up side panels for those late harvest nights. And new styling is reflective of the new levels of capacity, performance, and durability that have been engineered into every aspect of these new Massey Ferguson combines.

ATR™ — ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ROTOR

Massey Ferguson engineers have raised the bar another notch – creating a new threshing system that lets you do more, worry less and unload premium quality grain from every tank. We call it the new ATR, Advanced Technology Rotor. It’s powered by its own dedicated hydrostatic pump and motor so it can operate at a selected constant speed for consistent, efficient grain threshing and separation. With its advanced simplicity, the new ATR delivers more significant benefits to your harvesting operation:

• Improves crop flow through the rotor

• Efficient use of horsepower

• Improves threshing and separation

• Improves capacity

• Gentler on the crop

1. HIGH CAPACITY STARTS HERE

Feeding the new ATR requires a feederhouse that is up to the task. A 44”(117 mm) feederhouse on

the MF 9690 and a 55” (1,397 mm) feederhouse on the big MF 9790 ensure crop is delivered to the

rotor quickly, smoothly, and uniformly. We’ve equipped the feeder-house to endure a long service

life using #557 chain with chrome pins to resist wear. And here’s a timesaving feature you won’t find

on all other combines. Chain slats are bolted on, not riveted, for easy, quick replacement.

2. NEW FRONT BEATER DESIGN

The redesigned and patented front beater features helical vanes to provide a smooth, gentle, yet

positive engagement of the crop mass. Compared to other designs, the new front beater offers

quieter operation, better feeding across a wide range of crops, improved grain quality, and improved

straw quality. The orientation of the beater is unique to the Massey Ferguson combine design as

well. Because crop is delivered to the rotor from underneath, as opposed to the front as in competitive

designs, the entire 360 degrees of the rotor is open to accept crop, providing an unrestricted,

uniform flow of crop to boost capacity and improve threshing performance.

3. MAX FLOW CLEANING FAN

A newly designed, multi-blade cleaning fan operates over a wide range of speeds and provides not

only superior air volume, but also superior air distribution compared to other fan types. Higher

cleaning capacity, unmatched grain sample quality, and a cleaning system that is more forgiving and

easier to set is the result.

4. MATCHED CLEANING CAPACITY

The cleaning shoe of the MF 9690 and MF 9790 is matched to the high capacity of the machines’

feeding, threshing, and separating systems. The reciprocating grain pan begins the cleaning process

by stratifying crop material. Heavier grain settles to the bottom to easily pass through the adjustable

chaffer, while the lighter trash and residue rises to the top to be easily separated by the pre-cleaning

air blast as the material is conveyed to the chaffer. This boosts cleaning capacity and reduces

complexity and damage to grain when compared to transfer auger systems, which cause increased

grain damage and effectively mix the grain and residue, reducing the capacity of the cleaning

system. And, thanks to newly designed cleaning shoe motion, capacity is maintained in the highest

yielding crops.

5. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ROTOR (ATR)

The new ATR sets a new standard in rotary combine performance. Thanks to features such as the

longest rotor in the industry, full 360-degree feeding capacity, new cylinder bar design and orientation,

direct discharge design, and rotor adaptability, the ATR provides astonishing new levels of capacity

and performance, even in the toughest conditions. What’s more, the ATR can leave quality straw for

baling –flexibility you don’t expect or get with any other rotary. All this, plus standard long-life

features like hard-surfaced rotor intake flighting and chrome cylinder bars that cost extra or are not

available on other combines.

6. EXCLUSIVE ROTOR DRIVE SYSTEM

Only the new MF 9000 Series rotary combines offer a revolutionary, constant-speed hydrostatic rotor

drive system. The selected rotor speed is automatically maintained, regardless of fluctuations in

engine speed and crop flow, resulting in uniform threshing and separation. Unlike other rotary

designs, there are no clutches or belts to drive the rotor, adding to the unmatched simplicity of the

MF combine. Operating through 2 speed ranges, only the Massey Ferguson rotary combines feature

full power rotor reversing capability. No need to leave the comfort of the cab. No special tools. At

the touch of a button, the rotor pulses forward or reverse to quickly clear lodged or damp material,

saving time and operator stress.
