On this section we take a look at various models of Massey Combines and the changing face of the control layout from the fifties to the present day.
The earliest in our collection the Massey Harris 780 this model was built in 1953 and is currently under restoration, it is fitted with a Perkins L4 Diesel engine and it has the hydraulic lift on the Table (Header)
The 780 special this model was one of the first Massey Ferguson badged models built in 1958 the control lay out with little change.
Massey Ferguson 400 1966 you can see now the rapid change in operator controls and most combine functions available to operator on the move with the exception of the fanning mill.

where is this recycling place? I have a 760 and am looking for a sheet metal grain tank cover like the one on the 860,865. However, I am from Germany, which certainly makes things more difficult

Hi Colin! I'm make modifications for the Farming Simulator game, and would love to make one of these as a project. Is there any chance you could get me some up measurements of your 24? Thanks.

Hello, I have read with interest the story of your MF515. I have an MF 187 which is in running order and has cut a few acres this year. I am near Andover and have great interest in old combines.
