    I still run an 850 on about 400 acres of winter wheat , soybeans, and corn. If you tweak things, you can make make over 3 mph in 200 bushel corn. There are at least 6 of these machines still in use as the main harvester on smaller operations in my local area. You don't need a laptop to diagnose any problems, although some parts can be hard to get.

    To be honest he could go at least 1 mph faster and still handle the high yield. The 850 has a 50 inch cylinder and has pretty decent capacity. I think he is just enjoying the harvest!! Looks like he's got a really nice sample in the bin. Nice video....

    I used to work for a southern Indiana MF dealer (owned by long time best friends) we worked on a lot of combines and the old 850’s were really a work horse. I’ve worked on and ran everything from a 300 to a 9540 my favorite machines were 9690’s I believe they were some of the best machines Massey ever built.

    Australia here. We paid $130,000 aud, for the MF 850 with a tine reel front in '85. Our government had really screwed our currencies value. I first learned to drive the MF 750 for a farmer so I was very familiar with it. The 850 was just a nicer 750 with a hydrostatic transmission and a more effective chaff and dust removal system for the radiator. But we had big issues with the warning sensor system that would constantly go off. But they were a fine machine if well serviced though a bit dated compared to the rotary drum machines.

    What's weird is the 1143 stickers on the corn head. That was the 4 30" row. The one in the video is obviously 6 30" and it should be an 1163. Maybe the sheet metal was changed? Or who knows. Massey built a lot of combines out of leftover parts I think. Sometimes you will see yellow wheels on the red/silver combines and that wasn't normal either.

    The saddletank combines beginning with the 300, 410, 510 were good machines - if manufactured in canada. The european types made by Dronningborg had quality-problems. My brother in law has one of the last still working 1983 built MF660 and nearly every part of this machine was broken in the last 30 years. No more 520 or 620 can be seen here because all of them have been scrapped. In the Netherlands there still work a few (as far as I know canadian built) 760 without any problems...

    Wow been a long time since I seen one of them. I grew up around one of these. I use to sit/sleep on the shelf behind the seat. That will tell you how small and young I was. Are machine was modified with a rotary screen where the grain goes into the box as it comes out the elevator. It removed small weed seeds and cracked grain. We harvested wheat, oat and at that time a little barley. I never drove it when I got big enough to operate a combine. Think I was 13. I was on a IH711. We sold both and went to NH after that. Later Dad and I got an old 860. Worst ting we ever did.

But wasn’t as quick as CaseIH 2188 with 36ft Header vs MF 26ft header.

  • @dalecornelius4374
    @dalecornelius4374 5 років тому

    Those combines were in the twilight of their design lifespan. The competition at that time were making better machines. For everyone commenting on his slow ground speed, in high yielding corn the limiting factor was the size of the clean grain elevator. It was originally designed for small grains, never big enough on the 750 and 760 and it didnt get upgraded on the 850 and 860. Most guys around here ran 6 row heads on 860 and 760's because the 8 row way overloaded the handling section. Their design was good in its day, but when IH unveiled the Axial-Flow it rendered everything else on the market obsolete in corn and bean country.

      Great post. When the 850 was built the idea of 200 plus bu. Corn was not a concept. Massey’s acquisition of the White 9720/9320 combine in 1985 was the companies way of catching up to the Axial-Flow.

    So far as i know all those combines had the same trans the difference was one was driven by hydro the other was driven by variable speed belt system. We had an 82 860 with variable speed drive on our farm. It was sad when Massey got bought out.

      I think the option might have been a turbo intercooled engine instead of just turbo (?) but I can't remember many details. Our farm had a succession of MF combines, several 300's, a 550 then 850. They all were pretty terrible! lol I got pretty good at changing bearings and shafts on them.

      @@robertlonsdale3826 I don't have too many favorable memories of our MF combines unfortunately. They had design flaws for sure. We had a new 550 that was impossible to keep the grain pan from falling apart. Eventually the dealership had a local machine shop fabricate one from scratch, much heavier built, and then it was cured.
