Massey Ferguson 9505 Series: Heir to the Throne

The newest in a long line of industry-leading combines, the Massey Ferguson 9505 Series promises increased comfort and enhanced grain-saving features. “Customers will still enjoy the tremendous throughput and enhanced grain quality provided by the Trident™ processor that we introduced in the 9500 Series,” says Caleb Schleder, senior tactical marketing specialist for AGCO brand combines. “The same goes for our unique V-Cool™ cooling package. The 9505 Series simply builds on that technology with new features that improve performance and further reduce grain loss.”

Massey Ferguson engineers started up front with an enhanced header drive system that offers increased durability and additional muscle to the header. Modifications include a variable-speed header drive, heavier drum bearings, a double clutch, and a three-groove header drive pulley and belt.

For improved cleaning performance, the 9505 Series machines also enhance the proven Massey Ferguson Trident processor with a new variable-speed hydraulic-drive fan that offers a wider speed range—from 100 to 1,350 rpm. The extended fan-speed range eliminating the need for a fan choke and removes that setting to simply adjusting to various crop types, while providing enhanced performance for harvesting grass seed and canola.

To provide better control of material distribution on the shoe and to enhance rotor and shoe performance, corn/soybean models have also been equipped with perforated left-side rotor panels, complete with removable covers. The panels also provide better distribution of material in the separation and threshing area.

“One of the unique new features is an optional powered grain saver that is installed on the end of the unloader tube,” Schleder adds. “Acting much like an internal gate, it rotates open and closed when the unloading auger is engaged or disengaged to eliminate grain loss, especially when unloading on the go.”

Cab features include a more spacious layout, ergonomic control placement and a new steering column. A new option is an Ag Leader® kit that allows for a yield-monitoring technology upgrade.
