It's time to harvest

The production of arable crops has many variable factors which the grower must cope with to maximise crop yield and minimise costs.

At every point in a crop's life cycle, critical decisions must be made to ensure production goals are met.

Harvest time is the point where all these decisions turn into actual yield; the time to see if crop potential and bottom line financial return have been realised.

At such a crucial time, and with crop and weather variability still to cope with, the right choice of combine harvester to reap any rewards is vital.

The new CENTORA range of combines from Massey Ferguson has been designed to cope with your crops and your conditions to transfer field potential to store actual. Minimising costs and fuss, presenting and enhancing your bottom line even when the elements and time may be against you.

PowerFlow

- A cut above the rest

Put simply, PowerFlow is the most efficient cutting table available on any combine harvester today. Since 1976, PowerFlow has been making harvest easier and more profitable for its user.

Its two key features of massive knife to auger clearance and powered conveyor belts combine to give head-first, even feed into the machine. This works with all crops, in all conditions.

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. 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.

Cutting height control includes four pre-set heights.

Field pressure control

Allows the table to follow the ground contour giving the lowest possible cutting height for flat crops such as peas and grass seeds, without the risk of "bulldozing" the soil. Field pressur 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.

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 with rugged durability. 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.

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.

High performance threshing for maximum separation

This is the heart of the machine. 95 % of threshing and separation should happen here, so the design is critical.

The unique design of the threshing cylinder and concave ensures maximum threshing and separation in all crops.

The cylinder has eight rasp bars mounted on backing bars. The rasp bars are reinforced to make them extremely strong and durable. This design also increases the peripheral weight of the cylinder and increases momentum, ensuring that smooth, even flow is always maintained.

The highly permeable concave has many unique features. An additional rub bar is fixed to the front of the concave which starts threshing early.

The gap between this additional bar and the first bar on the concave is solid. This ensures a firm 'rub' so de-owners or filler plates are not required in difficult to thresh crops.

Simplicity with rotary separators The rotary separator's speed and concave clearance can be adjusted easily:

Fast speed and close clearance for heavy straw and damp conditions are implemented to force out any trapped grains before the straw is 'fluffed' and delivered to the straw walkers.

Alternatively a slow and wide clearance can be set in very dry, brittle straw conditions where straw quality has to be maintained.

Constant Flow

for smarter operation
The key to increased output is to keep the combine fully loaded. When the crop thins, the combine needs more material to keep everything running at 100% capacity.

Constant Flow achieves this by sensing the load on the cylinder and electronically varying the combine forward speed to match the crop.

Output can be increased by up to 15% in a wide variety of crops.

Features and benefits

Eight bar threshing cylinder with heavy-duty backing bars:

Features: High-inertia, even crop flow with constant speed.

Benefits: Long service life.

High permeability concave offers:

Features: Additional front rub bar, early threshing, solid area between additional bar and first concave bar, 117.5^ Concave wrap.

Benefits: Ensures clean grain sample with maximum separation.

Electrical adjustment of concave clearance and cylinder speed via Datavision

Features: Easy adjustment whilst harvesting.

Benefits: Maximise output.

Rotary separator

Features: Simple adjustment for different crops and conditions, maximise separation, minimise straw damage.

Benefits: Machine flexibility.

HiStream 100 Grain management system

The HiStream 100 Grain management system is designed to handle up to 100 tonnes per hour.

Grain cleaning begins on the two preparation pans. The long stroke ensures efficient movement of large volumes of grain and chaff.

The pans, supported by massive carriers, begin the cleaning action, with the lighter chaff floating to the top of the mix.

Two 'escape' steps with air blasts from the fan ensure all chaff is blown out of the machine. The electronically adjustable sieves combined with the constant air pressure from the fan (also in-cab adjustable), ensures that you are in complete control of final grain sample quality.

Returns material is dealt with by the separate re-thresher which evenly distributes the clean grain directly onto the grain pan with no possibility of it being remixed with the straw.

Features and benefits

Separate re-thresher

Features: Re-threshes crop and does not mix grain with straw. Benefits: Higher output.

Electrical adjustment of sieves and fan via Datavision

Features: Easily adjusted during harvesting, easy-to-change settings between crops. Benefits: Maximises output.

High grain pan divisions

Features: Lower grain

loss on slopes.

Benefits: Prevents sieve overload by channelling crop backwards.

Grain pan and sieves

Features: Can be removed quickly and easily, facilitating easy cleaning and service. Benefits: Less downtime in difficult conditions.

Large grain tank

Features: Easy to clean out for quick crop change, minimum down time especially when harvesting seed crops, turret design, low power requirement, straightforward operation and control of the unloading system at the touch of a button with features like 'double-click auger return button' to fold the auger in. Benefits: Ease of control.

Separation: The gentler way

The eight walker system, which is unique to Massey Ferguson, increases agitation of the straw mat by 33 % when compared with six walker systems.

The straw walkers efficiently transport the straw from the rotary separator to the chopper (or the swath) ensuring any remaining grain trapped in the straw mat is removed and returned in the machine. However, its power requirement is considerably less than 'powered separation' systems, so fuel consumption is lower. Straw quality is also maintained.

Effortless baling

Straw fed through the CENTORA system suffers less damage and is easier to pick up when swathed - with any baler, large or small. A single lever diverts the straw from the Straw chopper to leave a swath on the ground ready for baling.

Residue handling - the key to lower incorporation costs

The CENTORA range is equipped as standard with the Min-Till Chopper.

The Min-Till Chopper has eight rows of serrated blades and has a faster rotor speed than many standard choppers.

This means the minimum chopped length of the straw is very short. This ensures quick breakdown of the straw which is ideal for No-Till or Min-Till cultivation systems.

The straw chopper

The chopper can achieve a spread of up to 9 metres. An additional 'dual chop' bar can be engaged easily for even more aggressive chopping action.

The chaff spreader

The chaff spreader has been designed to spread the full width of the table, whether chopping or swathing the straw and will conveniently fold out of the way when access to the sieves is needed (Optional on MF 7280).

Electric control of deflectors

Fingertip control from the Datavision screen can reverse the deflector settings when turning at the headland (Optional on MF 7280).

Auto Level Combine: keeping productivity on the level

Both CENTORA combines are available as Auto Level machines where the combine rump levels independently, adjusting for slopes of up to 12% .

Ideal when working in steep or hilly conditions. This enables the combine to work at maximum efficiency for the majority of the time.

The Auto Level system is controlled by Datavision. This makes seamless adjustments to the machine and table while harvesting. It can be set easily on Datavision and can be manually overridden to avoid larger obstacles when required. It works in conjunction with the table controls to provide the complete package.

All the internal components are kept level which means they can continue to operate at full productivity.

Whole machine levelling' is more efficient than 'component levelling' as slopes affect the whole threshing and separation process.

The ideal operator environment

The cab area and serviceability of the MF 7200 CENTORA puts you comfortably in control. Its efficiency and ergonomics are world-renowned.

Throughout your long working day you'll find that our combine cabs are quiet and vibration-free, allowing you to carry out the harvesting without distraction. Tinted glass and air conditioning come as standard and electronic controls put everything at your fingertips.

Sitting comfortably?

The standard air suspension seat suits drivers of every shape and size, and the new '3D' (tilt, telescopic, incline) steering column, allows the driver to find the perfect working position. In addition to this there is a convenient upholstered instructor seat.

A perfect position - day or night Eight work lights as standard ensure round-the-clock productivity, in comfort and safety.

Fast, accurate unloading

The operator has a perfect view of the unloader so there's no need to lean forward uncomfortably. Unloader engagement is protected so that it cannot be switched on accidentally. It can also be locked-on for static unloading.

Complete control

The Multi-function Lever is part of the armrest on the seat, making operating adjustments convenient and easy; like the Datavision

screen, it can be adjusted precisely to suit the operator's driving preference. Datavision screens can also be selected from the Multi-function Lever, in addition to extending and closing the unloading auger.

Fast access to all areas

Four daily greasing points means a quick turnaround in the morning. Our engineers have designed the CENTORA to be harvesting for as long as possible keeping unproductive time to a minimum.

The solid engine cover offers safe and secure access to the grain tank and protects the engine from the elements while closed. When open it offers unrestricted access to the engine service points. Cooling air for the radiators is effectively filtered by the rotary screen. Access for cleaning is quick and easy from the engine bay.

Two-piece side panels provide safe and unrestricted access for routine maintenance, and a detachable engine bay ladder enables the operator to reach every area.

Datavision

Datavision is very much a part of combine operation. It is a key tool for getting maximum efficiency from you and your machine in an easy-to-use way.

What can Datavision do for you? The screen position is adjustable for comfort and has a clear easy-to-read display.

It enables the operator to see up to eight different functions of his choice simultaneously. You can, at a glance, ensure that you are getting the best from your machine.

You can improve your efficiency, as it is easy to adjust major settings, including sieves and concave clearance, from the screen.

Datavision makes operation easier by having a single clear point of reference and is large enough to be looked at quickly and understood.

It provides protection and warnings for the machine and operator, avoiding unnecessary cost and time loss.

There is a diagnostic feature, which saves time for you and your dealer when servicing or trouble-shooting.

It can provide logging information on yield and combine performance, which forms the basis for Precision Farming.

No one has more experience than Massey Ferguson when it comes to measuring combine field performance.

This means that you can benefit from this experience by choosing one of the integrated systems for yield mapping and data-logging that we offer. A choice of yield metering equipment is available to match your Precision Farming requirements.
