Improvements To Massey Ferguson’s Rotary Combine Increase Flexibility ATLANTA, Ga. New two speed rotor drive gearbox, auto unload auger swing, chrome bin loading auger, spill saver, and larger steering cylinder and steering control unit, give the Massey Ferguson 8780XP Rotary Combine the capability to deliver some of the highest quality grain samples in the field today. “Massey-Ferguson’s patented and exclusive hydrostatic rotor drive maintains the selected rotor speed regardless of engine speed for more consistent grain quality,” said Verlin Tinder, Massey Ferguson harvesting marketing manager. “Now the addition of a two-speed rotor drive gearbox adds flexibility for harvesting all types of crops while maintaining the rotor torque needed for threshing.” The new two-speed rotor drive gearbox allows rotor speeds to be changed between high-range rotor speeds of 175 to 940 rpm for small grains, and low-range rotor speeds of 175 to 725 rpm for corn. The MF 8780XP features load-sensing hydraulics, hydros tatic ground drive, four-speed constant-mesh transmission, and heavy-duty final drives. The exclusive, infinitely variable hy drostatic rotor drive replaces complicated belt drives found on competitive combines, provides full-powered rotor reverse for unplugging, and accurately monitors rotor load, making both experienced and inexperi enced operators highly produc tive.
