Feeding

Our MF 9895 and MF 9795 combines both feature a wide 55.4” (1,408 mm) feed house. The feed house on the MF 9695 is 44.1” (1,121 mm) wide. All combines use a floating front feed drum equipped with a shock absorber to prevent drum bounce and keep the feed chain in constant contact with the incoming crop. MF 9895 and MF 9795 feature four strands, while the MF9 695 uses three strands of number 557 drive chain equipped with long life chrome pins.

Large coil tension springs keep feed chains adjusted properly in heavy crop conditions. Heavy duty bolt on conveyor feed slats to keep the crop moving to the full width helical vane front feed conveyer.

Feeding

The Massey Ferguson 9005 Series use an 18” (457 mm) diameter helical vane feed conveyor to feed the rotor inlet and provide rock protection. The helical vane conveyor provides efficient and quiet operation and has the following three primary functions:

1. Accelerates the crop leaving the feed chain
2. Separates stones from the crop
3. Feeds the rotor 360°

The opposing vanes on the feed beater supply an even flow of material to the rotor via a conical shaped rotor intake housing. A blended shape rotor transition intake provides a 360° rotor feed. This feature gently feeds the rotor to reduce crop damage while increasing rotor intake capacity.
