Massey Ferguson 7252 Combine Parts

7252 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 7252 combine, produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, offered a reliable solution for grain harvesting. Powered by a robust diesel engine producing around 175 horsepower, it handled various header widths to suit different field sizes. Farmers appreciated its durable conventional separator design and straightforward operation, making it a popular choice for getting the job done efficiently.

The Massey Ferguson 7252 was a staple in the fields throughout the late 80s and early 90s. Its engine, typically a Perkins 6.0L diesel, delivered approximately 175 horsepower with ample torque for demanding harvest conditions. The 7252 utilized a conventional threshing system, employing a large cylinder and walkers for effective grain separation. This system was known for its gentle handling of grain, minimizing damage. The grain tank held around 200 bushels, and unloading was achieved at a rate of approximately 60 bushels per minute. Header widths varied depending on the configuration, often ranging from 15 to 25 feet. The 7252 was also available with various chopper and spreader options for managing crop residue. The operator cab was functional and provided adequate visibility, contributing to operator comfort during long harvesting days. It excelled at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn, thanks to its adjustable concave and sieve settings.
