Massey Ferguson 560-UK Combine Parts

560 UK parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 560 UK combine harvester, a popular choice among European farmers, was produced during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Typically powered by a Perkins diesel engine offering around 100-120 horsepower, it was known for its reliable performance and robust build. It featured conventional threshing and separation and was available with header widths suited to various field sizes, making it a versatile option for smaller and mid-sized farms.

The Massey Ferguson 560 UK combine was a workhorse on farms during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Power came from a Perkins diesel engine, usually a 6-cylinder model delivering between 100 and 120 horsepower, with a displacement around 5.8 liters. It utilized a conventional threshing system, relying on a cylinder and concave to separate the grain from the crop material, followed by walkers for separation. The grain tank capacity was approximately 60-75 bushels, and it had an unloading auger with a discharge rate of around 30-40 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 10 to 16 feet, accommodating different field sizes and crop densities. While chopper/spreader options were available, they were not always standard equipment. The cab offered basic operator comfort and controls. The MF 560 excelled at harvesting a variety of grain crops, including wheat, barley, and oats, commonly found in UK and European fields.
