Agrishow Special: Massey Ferguson launches 45-foot draper platform at 25th Agrishow

During the 25th Agrishow, Massey Ferguson launches the 9255-foot 45 Dynaflex platform, developed especially for class 8 axial harvesters. With the new feature, the brand positions itself in the market with the largest platform offering draper, offering the farmer a range of products from 25 to 45 feet.

Specially designed for the MF 9895 model, the new platform works with a low rate of grain loss and increases operational yield by up to 10% of harvested area at the end of the day, compared to the 40-foot model. Ease of coupling to the machine and platform adjustments are other differences. With this new feature, adjustments can be made from within the equipment itself, helping the operator with tasks such as adjusting the platform's angle of attack in relation to the ground.

“The 9255 Dynaflex is the newest platform option for axial combines that Massey Ferguson brings to the market. As the family grew draper, the brand will expand the reach of service to different regions, topography and types of properties, contributing to increased harvest productivity”, says Fabrício Müller, AGCO harvester product marketing manager, for Massey Ferguson.

The 13,7 meter cutting system and flexible bar along its entire length allows for agile and uniform harvesting, in the most diverse soil conditions, optimizing harvest performance. To improve the machine's processing capacity, the 9255 platform has a rubber belt transport system, allowing the harvested material to all follow in the same direction, with better mass flow and homogeneous feeding.

“The launch that we are taking first hand to Agrishow combines high performance, flow uniformity, preservation of grain quality and reduction of losses. The new solution was also specially designed to have fewer stops for cleaning, increasing the availability of equipment for work”, he states.

Axial harvesters at Agrishow: MF 9695 and MF 9895

The MF 9695, class 6, is equipped with an 8.4-liter AGCO Power turbo intercooled six-cylinder engine, capable of delivering up to 390 hp. 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 MF 9895 axial harvester, which can now come with the new 9255 Dynaflex platform attached, has a 9,8-liter AGCO Power seven-cylinder engine, which can reach 500 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 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 modern V-Cool cooling system, exclusive to the brand, which drastically reduces the need for cleaning the radiators and offers 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.

In addition to the axial versions, producers will also be able to check out the MF 4690 and MF 5690 hybrid harvesters, which were recently included in the Mais Alimentos Program (MDA), a Federal Government financing system. The initiative is part of the brand's strategy of expanding the portfolio of products available at MDA, which previously included several models of tractors.

Hybrid harvesters inserted in the MDA: MF 4690 and MF 5690

The harvester MF 4690, class 4, is ideal for family farming, has a hybrid processing concept with axial separation by two rotors, increasing productivity and efficiency in the field. Due to the hybrid system, exclusive to 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 in 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.

With 200 hp of power, the model is equipped with an AGCO Power electronic engine (iEGR system). Through this 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 up to 20 feet of platform, providing a high level of production, especially in rice, soybean and corn crops. 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.

Already MF 5690, in class 4, the largest and most powerful harvester offered at MDA, arrives at the 25th Agrishow, expanding the brand's portfolio, the most complete and modern in the financing line. Equipped with a 7.4-liter AGCO Power turbo intercooled six-cylinder engine, it is capable of delivering up to 225 hp.

The MF 5690 brings together the best characteristics of conventional systems (robustness with low energy consumption) and axial systems (reduced harvest losses and greater operational capacity) in just a single concept, which is the processing hybrid.

The harvester was developed to provide greater comfort and operational efficiency and can be equipped with the Auto-Guide autopilot, AgCommand telemetry system with the Fieldstar II productivity monitor and platforms of up to 23 feet. It has a capacity of 5.500 liters, a discharge rate of 86 l/s and high processing capacity with more than 14m² of track and separation.
