Messey Fergurson launches first hybrid rotary combine – 9280 Delta

October 7th, 2009 | Tags: ,

Massey Ferguson is to launch its first cross-breed rotary mix at the Agritechnica show in Nov.

The MF 9280 Delta will also be the 1st combine on the market to use Selective Catalytic Reduction ( SCR ) to cut exhaust emissions, the same technology used on the 8600 tractor series launched last year.

‘It’s our most important harvesting product in twenty years,’ announces Adam Sherriff, powered harvesting executive. ‘The Delta places us smack bang in the middle of the massive agribusiness sector and makes us a major player in the higher capacity market.’

The 7-cylinder 9.8-litre Sisu Power engine puts out 496hp, and is the 1st 7-cylinder combine to be used on mobile machinery. It is claimed to use ten percent less fuel for a similar output.

The 9280 Delta will come with a 9m PowerFlow header, which uses MF’s established continuous-belt arrangement to feed crop into the table auger, without reference to the forward speed of the combine.

But what is new is the HyPerfoma hybrid threshing and separation system, which is composed of a larger-capacity high-inertia 1680 x 600mm cylinder and concave joined with twin rotors at the back.

As the crop comes out of the concave, it’s split into 2 channels before the twin 475mm diameter, 4.2m long separation rotors which make up the back end. Crop is fed up the rotor by fingers mounted in a spiral pattern on the auger, while two paddles at the end separate the straw before the chopper or swath.

There’s also a new venturi cleaning system, which uses a complicated airflow arrangement to lift trash before the grain touches the sieves, meaning the mix can deal with extra crop with an identical quantity of power just using air.

To keep crop intake even, Massey’s repeated Flow system mechanically matches forward speed to load on the threshing mechanism, ensuing, announces Mr Sherriffs, in a 15% increase in output.

The Delta is fitted with Datavision II, and is Autoguide prepared. It has been tested this year thru Eastern Europe and in Oxfordshire.
