The Massey Ferguson 530 combine, produced from the late 1970s through the early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and efficient machine. Typically powered by a diesel engine around 105-115 HP, and equipped with conventional threshing system. Header widths varied, but options up to 15-18 feet were common, making it suitable for mid-sized farms focused on grain and soybean production.

The Massey Ferguson 530 was a workhorse combine introduced in the late 1970s and remained a staple on many farms well into the 1980s. It was designed to offer a balance of performance and affordability. The engine was typically a Perkins 6-cylinder diesel, ranging from 105 to 115 horsepower, with a displacement around 354 cubic inches. Threshing was handled by a conventional cylinder system, with a robust cylinder design for efficient grain separation. Grain tank capacity was around 100 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of emptying at a rate of approximately 30-40 bushels per minute. Header widths ranged from 13 to 18 feet, allowing for efficient harvesting across various crop types. Options included straw choppers and spreaders to manage crop residue.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance to match the crop being harvested. Proper clearance minimizes grain damage and maximizes threshing efficiency.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check belt and chain tension regularly, especially before each season. Loose belts or chains can lead to power loss and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Keep sieves and chaffers clean to ensure efficient grain separation and minimize losses. Blow out debris regularly with compressed air.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication extends bearing life and prevents costly breakdowns.
