It's a new Massey Ferguson. It was introduced at Husker Harvest Days. There are photos of the M F version and Gleaner with same new cab on Farm Photo probably under those brand names. Also check out www.masseyferguson.agcocorp.com/ and click on Massey Ferguson new 9000 series combines. The machine is wider than the former 8780 and has a new rotor. Probably has common frame with the Gleaner as well as other parts in common. |

Thought I'd put up some pics probably most have seen on the new Agco combines . www.farmphoto.com/homestead/message.asp?dsply=all&mid=13595 new rotor in the MF and Challenger. www.farmphoto.com/homestead/message.asp?dsply=all&mid=14132 in MF colors www.farmphoto.com/homestead/message.asp?dsply=all&mid=14128 for new Gleaner. Heard the cab has some nice footrests in addition to new electroics. I guess the footrest deal is new, but I wouldn't know not having used late model combines. Some were expecting more in the way of a class 8 machine as magazine ad kind of raised hopes for more than new cab and some other improvements. I don't expect to see a new Gleaner here soon since farm economy and almost no migrating custom/contractors to absorb the cost of new machines to many acres means older series will be kept running like this Columbia County combine. www.farmphoto.com/homestead/message.asp?dsply=all&mid=324. Guess I'll be able to listed to that great sounding Deutz engine of the neighbor's R7 a few more years. Asked the new mechanic (former Marine truck mechanic) if he had ever worked on a Deutz. He looked at me like what are you talking about. Don't know if he had ever heard of one. |

Supposedly so but we wont see it before next harvest. The current 480 evolution is a equal match to the STS so the lexion 500 will eat it alive.
