Massey Ferguson 851 Combine Parts

851 parts and accessories

The Massey Ferguson 851 combine, produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s, offered farmers a reliable and efficient harvesting solution. Equipped with engines around 140-160 HP and available with header widths ranging from 13 to 20 feet, this conventional separator combine was a popular choice for its simplicity and ease of maintenance. Its robust design and efficient threshing system made it a favorite for smaller to mid-sized farming operations.

The Massey Ferguson 851 combine harvester was a workhorse introduced in the late 1970s and continued production into the early 1980s. It typically featured a Perkins diesel engine, delivering approximately 140-160 horsepower with a displacement around 354 cubic inches. The 851 utilized a conventional threshing system, incorporating a cylinder and concave to separate grain from the plant material. Grain tank capacity was around 150-175 bushels, with an unloading auger capable of emptying at a rate of approximately 50-60 bushels per minute. Header widths varied, offering options between 13 and 20 feet to accommodate different field sizes and crop types. While a dedicated chopper was not always standard, options for straw spreading were available. The cab provided basic operator comfort with a seat and controls, but was not as advanced as later models. The 851 excelled at harvesting wheat, soybeans, and corn in appropriate field conditions, offering a cost-effective and dependable harvesting solution for many farmers.
