Massey Ferguson 7246 Combine Parts

7246 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 7246 combine, manufactured from approximately 1996 to 2001, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and efficient grain harvesting solution. This combine typically featured a diesel engine producing around 250 horsepower and was compatible with header widths ranging from 20 to 30 feet. Known for its conventional threshing system, the 7246 offered a balance of performance and ease of maintenance.

The Massey Ferguson 7246 combine harvester was introduced in the mid-1990s and remained in production until the early 2000s. This model was powered by a Sisu Diesel engine, typically generating around 250 horsepower from its inline six-cylinder design. The 7246 utilized a conventional threshing system with a wide cylinder and a large concave area to efficiently separate grain from the plant material. It boasted a grain tank capacity of approximately 250 bushels and an unloading auger capable of discharging grain at a rate of around 2 bushels per second (120 bu/min). Available header widths ranged from 20 to 30 feet, allowing for efficient harvesting of various crops. The 7246 often came equipped with a straw chopper and spreader to manage crop residue. The cab offered operators a comfortable working environment with essential controls and monitoring systems. The Massey Ferguson 7246 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, providing a solid performance in diverse field conditions.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly inspect and adjust the concave clearance based on the crop being harvested to optimize threshing performance and minimize grain loss.
Belt and Chain Tension: Check and maintain proper tension on all belts and chains, as excessive slack can lead to slippage, reduced efficiency, and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Regularly clean the sieves and chaffers to prevent buildup of debris, ensuring proper separation and minimizing grain loss over the back.
Bearing Greasing: Follow the recommended greasing schedule for all bearings to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature failure.
