Agco's The King of The Hill Again

[Ache4Acres]

i dunno.....looks awesome but this make me nervous:

“The Dual Helix threshing system uses low pressure rotors which are designed to allow maximum space around each rotor for the straw to expand and release grain,” says Adam Sherriff, Market Development Manager, Massey Ferguson Harvesting. “The length of travel and the fact that the straw falls by gravity directly into the chopper really keeps the power requirement to a minimum by not breaking up the straw”

Sounds like some engiNERDS maybe were overthinking this one....they got 675hp....why not use it!!

I dont want to have to pull out the ole gleaner when it comes time to smash some heads in tough threshing wheat.

The 9795 and 9895 were well built , the 9540's we had were not to say the least .
If all the upgrades were done I am sure they are fine , but like iceman pointed out that would be after 40 pages of updates .
Like most new models of anything there always seems to be weak spots not thoroughly thought out .

Good to know, sounds like some bad customer management by a salesman too if they didn't ensure the updates were done for a customer. I prefer to buy older machinery at auctions where there is a full farm dispersal lineup so likely not an issue for us.

Lol! The price won't be released until November but they did say it will be expensive. Claims to have the biggest everything and that must include cost of purchase.

Black Agco in my area. Hope they used thicker steel and put all the bolts in this one.

In my experience the agco combines are heavy duty when compared to CNH.

Ya I will wait 2-3 years as well , our last experience with a new Massey model was frustrating and very costly.

Which model?
