​MF 4690, from Massey Ferguson, is MDA's only hybrid harvester with rotor

Massey Ferguson takes to Expointer, from August 26th to September 3rd, in Esteio (RS), the new harvester MF 4690, ideal for family farming. The launch is the only one of the Mais Alimentos Program (MDA) financing system that has a hybrid processing concept and double rotor, increasing productivity and efficiency in the field. The MF 4690 is also equipped with an AGCO Power electronic engine (iEGR system), complying with the new environmental legislation MAR-1 to reduce gas emissions.

Due to the hybrid system, from Massey Ferguson, the MF 4690 unifies the best of conventional threshing with the best of axial separation, allowing the machine to work with a low loss rate even in extreme conditions, such as crops with a high volume of straw, crops with high grain productivity or high humidity in the products. This type of processing allows for a greater separation capacity through centrifugal action than any other system, as it maximizes the straw flow around the double rotors.

“The MF 4690 can be used on small and medium-sized properties. The hybrid model offers a threshing system carried out by a cylinder and separation is carried out by a double rotor system, in a 54% larger area, ensuring greater agility in product processing. Field tests have proven that the MF 4690, in ideal field conditions and compared to the previous model, harvests 30% more bags/hour, contributing to greater productivity, efficiency and savings in crops”, says Douglas Vincensi, marketing manager for harvester products from AGCO, owner of the Massey Ferguson brand.

With 200 hp of power, the model is equipped with an AGCO Power electronic engine (iEGR system). Through this new technology, it is possible to fully monitor the functions of the engine integrated into the machine, in addition to allowing the equipment to remain in the field for longer, ensuring low operating costs and significantly reducing harvesting costs.

The equipment works with 18 feet of platform, providing a high level of production (especially rice, soybeans and corn). With a discharge rate of 86 l/s – 62% higher –, the highest in its category, and a grain tank with 10% greater storage capacity (5.500 liters), the MF 4690 has more time available for harvesting. The cab was designed to maximize comfort and operational ease, making work more productive.

The MF 4690 also has a less harsh threshing and separation system, something fundamental in a machine in this category, as it helps to preserve the quality of the grains and guarantees a higher harvest yield.

Other Massey Ferguson harvesters are also present at Expointer:

The hybrid harvester MF 6690 (265 hp) has an AGCO Power electronic engine with the iEGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system. The machine provides greater yield and lower fuel consumption, with increased productivity, cleaner and more whole grains in the tank and fewer stops for maintenance. The robust, high-inertia track system has the capacity to operate in any condition, reducing machine effort and ensuring fuel savings of up to 25% per ton harvested. The model is the only one from the brand with a 25-foot draper platform available.

Another highlight in harvesters is the axial model MF 9695, class 6. The machine is equipped with an 8.4-liter AGCO Power turbo intercooled six-cylinder engine, capable of delivering up to 380 hp in reserve. Field tests showed that, under ideal conditions of use, the MF 9695 reduces fuel consumption by up to 30% compared to the previous model.

The axial MF 9895 is also present at Expointer and has a 9,8-liter AGCO Power seven-cylinder engine, which can reach a reserve power of 510 hp. It has the highest grain unloading rate on the market (150 liters per second) and a tank with a storage capacity of 12.334 liters. The feed cylinder drive system is responsible for the high performance of the equipment, guaranteeing the quality of the grains and expanding the range of crops and applications.

A MF 9695 and MF 9895 They have the V-Cool cooling system, exclusive to the brand, which drastically reduces the need for cleaning the radiators and offers high cooling capacity and consequently longer engine life. In addition to reducing consumption, the harvesters have a Trident processing system, consisting of a 3,56 m long rotor, promoting more threshing and separation, while increasing grain quality.
