Massey Ferguson 860 Combine Parts

Jump to Parts

The Massey Ferguson 860 combine, produced from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and efficient grain harvesting solution. Powered by a robust diesel engine offering around 155-175 HP, the 860 handled various crops with ease, especially wheat, soybeans, and corn. Available with header widths up to 20 feet, its conventional separator system provided a good balance of threshing performance and grain quality.

The Massey Ferguson 860 combine was introduced in the mid-1970s as a workhorse in the MF combine lineup, continuing production into the early 1980s. It featured a Perkins or Caterpillar diesel engine, typically producing between 155 and 175 horsepower, with a displacement around 540 cubic inches (8.8 liters). The 860 utilized a conventional threshing system with a wide cylinder and walkers for grain separation. Grain tank capacity was around 150 bushels, and the unloading auger could unload at a rate of approximately 40-50 bushels per minute. Available header widths ranged from 13 to 20 feet, catering to different field sizes and crop conditions. While chopper and spreader options were offered, these could vary based on year and dealer modifications. The operator's cab was relatively basic, focusing on functional controls and visibility. The Massey Ferguson 860 excelled at harvesting small grains like wheat and barley, as well as soybeans and corn in some regions.
