Welcome back

At Massey Ferguson we understand that every single customer is different when it comes
to harvesting and that you have specific needs and aspirations to make your business
run smoothly and to its full potential. Years of research, development and pure hard work
have produced a machine of ground-breaking possibilities, built purely to secure the
future of your business. Welcome back to a new era in harvesting.

A new era in harvest
management
"The Massey Ferguson
9280 DELTA combine
harvester is the latest,
albeit big, step on the
way to fulfilling my
commitment to our loyal
customers, distributors,
dealers and staff."
A message from
Martin Richenhagen, AGCO
Chairman, President and CEO
Five years ago I pledged that
AGCO, the company I head, would
deploy all the resources necessary
to become a world leader in
harvesting technology. The
Massey Ferguson 9280 DELTA
combine harvester is the latest,
albeit big, step on the way to
fulfilling my commitment to our
loyal customers, distributors,
dealers and staff.
AGCO is one of the largest
manufacturers of agricultural
machinery in the world and it leads
in many markets across the globe.
We are also focused solely on
farm machinery – we don’t make
anything else.
This new harvester is the
latest product of AGCO’s huge
investment in research and
development and results from our
ability to harness the unrivalled
design and manufacturing
expertise of our global Centres
of Excellence to provide new
equipment to improve your
profitability.
Indeed, the exciting new MF 9280
DELTA combine exemplifies our
mission of providing ‘profitable
growth through superior customer
service, innovation, quality and
commitment.’ This new combine
is a substantial development
in harvesting performance and
takes the lead for us in terms of
harvesting capacity, efficiency
and economy.
The MF 9280 DELTA merges
AGCO’s unparalleled experience
in conventional drum and
concave threshing with our
rotary separation expertise
and it is packed with best in
class innovations. It is the first
in the world, for example, to
feature innovative Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) engine
technology. This not only provides
the cleanest exhaust emissions,
it also allows users to benefit
from significant fuel savings. The
novel HyPerforma Threshing and
Separation Technology, with its
completely new and highly efficient
Twin Hi-Separation rotors offers
further gains in productivity and
economy.
The industry-leading designs on
the MF 9280 DELTA are matched
only by the quality of engineering
provided by Europe’s most modern
and efficient production facility in
Breganze, Northern Italy. AGCO
has acquired a substantial stake in
this factory, making this significant
investment specifically to support
our strategic aim of taking a
leading position in the European
harvesting business.
Breganze is also home to the
recently introduced ACTIVA, BETA
and CENTORA combine ranges.
Now producing the new flagship
DELTA combines, the factory is
truly a Centre of Excellence for
this formidable harvesting force.

PowerFlow®
Making the harvest easier and more profitable since
1976. The Massey Ferguson PowerFlow®table is as
unique today as it was when we first invented it.
And still as popular.
Alan Haines, Sales Support
Specialist for Massey Ferguson
Harvesting, UK, talks us through
the key points of the PowerFlow
header.
“PowerFlow®is simply the most
efficient cutting table available
on any combine harvester.”
“Its two key features of massive
knife-to-auger clearance and
powered conveyer belts combine
to give head-first, even feed into
the machine. A simple process
that makes an outstanding impact
and works with all crops, in all
conditions.”
The lightweight yet solid• construction is durable and
long-lasting
Perfect, even feed first time• improves threshing, securing
a good quality sample and
increased separation will result
in higher output
The driver is guaranteed an• excellent view of the crop
and the full width of the table
making it less stressful to
operate
Any stones picked up during• harvesting will be deflected
away from the table by the
belts, resulting in lower
running costs

In control with
PowerFlow
Auto reel speed
Adjusts reel speed to ensure
your selected ‘forward speed
to reel speed ratio’ is maintained
as you harvest.
Schumacher knife system
With the most efficient table you
need a top performing knife.
PowerFlow tables are fitted
with the Schumacher system
offering high performance, high
speed cutting knives with double
supported durable fingers.
The ‘under and over’ cutting
process gives quality cutting in all
conditions.
Oilseed rape auger
An optional rape auger can be
fitted which increases performance
in tall crops. The hydraulically
driven auger is mounted above the
standard auger. It allows forward
speed to be increased markedly,
making oilseed rape harvest
extremely quick compared to
normal headers increasing output
and margins..
Folding dividers can be mounted
for quick turnarounds and safety.
Easily fitted crop lifters can
be installed from their own
storage position on the
table when required.
With PowerFlow you can specify
the following control systems:
Pre-set cutting height for
effortless headland turns
Just one click to lower the table
to your pre-set height, which also
incorporates two additional height
settings for precision cutting.
Double clicking will raise the table
for perfect headland turns.
Cutting height control
Continuously adjusts the cutting
height as you harvest across the
field for even stubble height.
Field pressure control
Allows the table to follow the
ground contour giving the lowest
possible cutting height for laid
crops or peas, beans and
grass seeds, without the risk of
“bulldozing” the soil. Field pressure
control allows you to speed
up your harvesting in difficult
conditions with confidence.
Auto Level table
Continuously adjusts the table
left and right to ensure you follow
the contours of the field. Sloping
ground or uneven fields are
no obstacle to achieving
maximum output.

HyPerforma Threshing &
Separation Technology
The Massey Ferguson HyPerforma Technology is a finely tuned
combination of precision engineering and proven technology.
The Hi-Inertia threshing system, Hi-Performance concave, rotor
feeder and Hi-Separation rotors forms the synergy between crop
and combine.
Today's modern farming continues
to be a challenge. Larger areas to
combine and quotas to fulfill as
well as the occasional race against
the elements means that you need
a machine that you can rely on in
order to meet that small window of
opportunity during the harvesting
season.
Jakob Bro Sorensen, Manager
for European Combine
Engineering spearheaded the
project with colleagues in four
different countries, from the first
weeks of research and design,
through to testing and finally
the manufacture of
Massey Ferguson's first hybrid
Combine Harvester. Here he talks
us through the process behind
the formation of the HyPerforma
Threshing Technology.
"The Hyperforma Threshing
system has been developed
and tested in controlled lab
systems to ensure the highest
possible material throughput and
afterwards confirmed in real 1:1
field testing. We were able to get
the power consumption down
to a very low level by fine tuning
the conversion from tangential
