Massey Ferguson 300 Combine Parts
The Massey Ferguson 300 series combine, produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and straightforward harvesting solution. These combines typically featured engine horsepower in the 150-200 range and offered header widths suitable for a variety of field sizes. Known for their conventional threshing systems, the MF 300 combines were appreciated for their simplicity and ease of maintenance, making them a cost-effective option for grain harvesting.
The Massey Ferguson 300 series combines were introduced to the market as a successor to earlier models, providing advancements in harvesting efficiency and operator comfort. Production spanned from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Engine specifications varied within the series, but many models were equipped with a Perkins diesel engine ranging from approximately 150 to 200 horsepower with a displacement between 400 and 500 cubic inches, depending on the specific model (check your model number). The threshing system utilized a conventional cylinder and concave arrangement, providing effective grain separation. Grain tank capacity varied across models, generally holding between 150 and 250 bushels. Unloading auger speeds typically ranged from 40 to 60 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet, accommodating different row spacing and field sizes. Chopper and spreader options were available to manage residue. Cab features usually included basic instrumentation and operator controls, reflecting the combine's straightforward design. The Massey Ferguson 300 series excels at harvesting small grains like wheat, barley, and soybeans, as well as corn.

Maintenance Tips
- Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust the concave clearance according to the crop being harvested. Proper adjustment minimizes grain loss and damage.
- Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains. Loose belts and chains can slip, causing inefficiencies and premature wear.
- Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffers regularly to prevent clogging and ensure proper grain separation. Debris buildup reduces harvesting efficiency.
- Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication prevents bearing failure and extends component life.
