Massey Ferguson 28 Combine Parts
28 parts and accessories
The Massey Ferguson 28 combine was a popular choice for farmers during its production run. While specific years can vary by region, it typically featured a reliable engine (depending on region and year) and was known for its robust conventional separator. This combine offered header widths suitable for various field sizes, and farmers appreciated its simple design and dependable performance for harvesting grains like wheat and soybeans.
The Massey Ferguson 28 combine, while production years can vary based on the market, was a staple in fields for a significant period. Engine specifications would vary depending on the region, but they were typically a diesel engine. The MF 28 utilizes a conventional threshing system with a cylinder and concave arrangement, delivering effective separation in diverse crop conditions. Grain tank capacities ranged (verify actual capacity based on year/region). Unloading auger speeds were around (verify actual speeds bu/min). Available header widths catered to varying farm sizes, with options ranging from (verify width range based on production). Chopper and spreader options would have been basic to non existent compared to modern combines of today. Cab features in this model generation are basic, and do not have the comforts of modern machinery. The Massey Ferguson 28 excelled at harvesting crops like wheat, soybeans, and other small grains due to its efficient threshing and separation capabilities.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to ensure proper threshing without damaging the grain. Refer to the operator's manual for recommended settings based on the crop being harvested.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can slip, causing inefficient operation and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep the sieves and chaffers clean and free of debris to ensure efficient grain separation. Use compressed air to blow out accumulated material regularly.
- Bearing Greasing: Lubricate all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper greasing prevents premature bearing failure and extends the life of the combine.
