After its impressive entrance the MF CENTORA combine moored up on its floodlit barge alongside the Palazzo Pisani Moretta, where delegates gathered to learn more about Massey Ferguson’s and AGCO’s continuing commitment to developing class-leading harvesting machinery.
Five years ago Martin Richenhagen, AGCO Chairman, President and CEO pledged he would deploy all the resources necessary to ensure the company becomes a world leader in harvesting technology. The recent launch of the new MF 9280 DELTA combine is just one element in a continuing line of new products, which demonstrate how that commitment has been put into action.
Huge investment in research and development and intense activity have seen the introduction of a host of new products, including the MF 2100 Series large square balers, built in the company’s Hesston factory.
At the same time Massey Ferguson’s combine range has expanded to include an impressive array of new and recently introduced machines. There is now a choice of seven different five and six straw-walker combines in the MF ACTIVA and BETA ranges as well as four MF CENTORA models, which are unique in providing eight straw-walker separation.
For Rotary Combines users there are three new MF FORTIA combines, and these are now joined by the latest MF 9280 DELTA, which employs a combination of leading conventional threshing with a special twin-rotor separation system.
As well as investing in developing new harvesting equipment, AGCO has also acquired a substantial stake in one of Europe’s most modern and efficient combine production facility in Breganze, Italy - making this significant investment specifically to support the strategic aim of taking a leading position in the European harvesting business.
The developments, however, do not stop here. As Martin Richenhagen told delegates to AGCO’s “Momentum” Harvesting event, this is just the start – there’s still a lot more to come, he promised.
