Massey Ferguson’s best ever Harvesting range
Multi-million dollar investments in developing new harvesting equipment means Massey Ferguson now offers its broadest and best ever range of combine harvesters and balers.
Intensive research and development, which is still ongoing, has produced a new joint venture manufacturing facility and a wide range of rotary and straw-walker combines. Recently it has displayed the completely new ‘hybrid’ harvester, which combines conventional threshing system with unique and innovative, twin rotor separation.
The company has also introduced a new range of large square balers.
Globally the range now includes 20 models from a 175hp Class 4 straw-walker machine, five-, six- and eight straw-walker combines, three new rotories and the completely new ‘hybrid’ design.
In Europe, Africa and the Middle East region Massey Ferguson has introduced 14 new combines and a new range of large square balers in the past five years.
