The MF IDEAL’s extra-long, low compression rotors gently process the crop avoiding damage to the grain and leaving the straw in excellent condition. The Dual Helix (double rotors) system on the MF IDEAL 8 and MF IDEAL 9 boasts one of the the largest main threshing concave areas available – a massive 1.66m². Even at high work rates and in high yielding crops grain losses remain low, so more ends up in the tank. The gentle action separates grain from the straw with minimum damage, to deliver a clean, top-quality grain sample.

The new IDEALharvest™ self-adjusting function option makes life effortless for the driver. Using the grain-quality camera and unique Acoustic Sensors around the combine, a very straightforward dashboard can be viewed on the Tech Touch Terminal or the SmartConnect™ App which allows the operator to choose a combination of quality, performance and sample cleanliness for their harvest. The machine itself then fine-tunes the rotor speed, fan speed and sieve opening.

The MF IDEAL combines are fitted with the unique IDEALbalance™ grain-pan system. With no extra moving parts, the combination of the two specially-shaped under-rotor pans is insensitive to slopes up to 15% and places the grain mix in exactly the right position for the separation pan, sieve box and fan to produce a clean sample at high output.

The MF IDEAL combine makes incorporation easy as the new design of the chopper enables the material to be spread more evenly over a wider area. This is because the distribution of material from the ShortCut chopper can match the full width of the header, even above 12m using the unique, low power requirement ActiveSpread feature.

A Cab which blends space, comfort, visibility, quietness, ease of use and connectivity for a more productive work environment. One of the quietest cabs on the market, it has a noise level of only 74dB and comes with premium features to ensure comfortable operation – including a ventilated seat, user-friendly controls and comprehensive performance monitoring, an iPad mount, a phone holder and many more useful features.

IDEALdrive is unique - it gives the operator an unprecedented level of machine control as well as a superb, clear view of the header. A joystick on the left armrest controls the steering, replacing the conventional steering wheel, while the multi-function joystick on the right varies the speed and direction. ​
