From dry cereals to wet rice, you
can rely on a Massey Ferguson
BETA combine to deliver. MF 7260
and MF 7270 BETA combines
are built to the highest worldwide
standards and deliver top
performance in all types of
crop all over the world.
Drawing on 50 years’ experience
in the design and manufacture
of harvesting machinery, these
combines are capable of handling
the most demanding harvests.
MF BETA combines are at home
in any crop: cereals, peas, beans,
sunflowers, oil seed rape, grass
seed, dry rice, wet rice or maize.
The Massey Ferguson BETA range of combine harvesters has
been designed to harvest all types of crop in any condition.
At harvest time, every minute
counts; that’s why we provide you
with combine harvesters delivering
high-performance, reliability and
ease of operation through practical
design. With combines from the
Massey Ferguson BETA range, you
are sure of making the right choice.
Practical design, easy operation
and top performance
MF BETA combines are built to the
high standards you expect. Low
cost of ownership is important
when choosing your new combine
and the BETA range is designed
with this objective in mind. The
machine’s components are
designed for the harshest crops.
The benefit to you being increased
durability whether harvesting
cereals, maize or rice – a crop that
requires a lot of power and is very
abrasive. Every component has
been designed and selected for
maximum durability and long life.
Many of the parts that actually
come into contact with the crop
benefit from the use of thicker, hard
wearing materials. What is more,
over 80% of the parts in contact
with the crop are galvanized and
all are painted before assembly.
This further enhances the longevity
of the machine and maximises
resale value.

A stress free harvest
starts here
Even in the toughest conditions you don’t want reliability problems
in, what is often, a race against time. The MF BETA will quickly earn
your trust with their day-in, day-out consistency and dependability.
The FreeFlow cutting tables on
MF 7260 and MF 7270 BETA
combines are designed for
harvesting a wide variety of crops.
The table consists of a welded
frame to which bolt-on panels
are mounted. These panels, for
example the table bottom plates,
can therefore be replaced easily
when required.
The crop is cut by a high
performance Schumacher knife
and gearbox. It then feeds into a
large diameter table auger that has
feathering fingers along its entire
length, to ensure even distribution
of the crop as it is fed into the main
crop elevator. All reel adjustments
are made using the hydrostatic
control lever in the cab. Automatic
cutting height control is standard
on all machines to optimise table
performance on all types of terrain.
The Agritronicplus monitor is used
to set the table height controls.
PowerFlow
- The powerful choice
Crops like oil seed rape, peas and
rye are difficult to harvest as is laid
wheat and barley. Pioneered by
Massey Ferguson over 30 years
ago, the PowerFlow table has
the ability to tackle these crops
with ease. The knife is a massive
1.14 m from the table auger so
vision and performance are at the
optimum. The rugged powerflow
belts power the crop away from
the knife and into the main crop
elevator at a consistent speed and
no changes are required on the
table when moving from one crop
to another. You can also benefit
from up to a 73% increase in
output when using the PowerFlow
table in oilseed rape rather than
a conventional table; making
PowerFlow the obvious choice in a
variety of crops and conditions.

04 MF BETA combines are fi tted with
an Auto Level table as standard.
05 Power Feed Roller is located at the
front of the main crop elavator.
06 Heavy duty cylinder with ballast bars
and differential wire spacing on concave.
of the concave has half as many
wires as the front section. This
principle provides the optimum
balance between high threshing
capacity and good grain fl ow
through the concave.
Independent adjustment of the
front and rear of the concave is via
electric controls in the cab. This
makes it possible for the operator
to set the concave to the optimum
position to suit the conditions. For
example, using the concave in the
parallel position allows output to
be maximised and straw damage
minimised.
The Power Feed Roller at the front
of the main crop elevator gives a
consistent crop fl ow from the table
into the main crop elevator. As a
result of the more even crop fl ow,
less power is needed to thresh
the crop. The crop is distributed
across the full width of the
elevator by the Power Feed Roller
to maximise the potential of the
threshing unit.
In addition, as the crop is readily
prepared for optimum threshing,
both power requirement and more
importantly fuel consumption
is reduced.
The key to performance!
Equipped with a robust, high-
inertia cylinder and a heavy-duty
concave, these machines are able
to effectively thresh the majority of
crops with ease.
The threshing drum has added
weight in the form of ballast bars
to increase the weight around the
cylinder as they thresh the heads.
This reduces load on the drives,
power requirement and
fuel consumption.
The concave has differentiated
wire spacing, i.e. the rear section

Separation choices
to suit your harvest
MF BETA combines have a rotary
separator as standard which
features adjustable concave and
speed. This gives the operator
the ability to match the combine
settings to the condition of the
crop thus optimising separation
and straw quality.
This rotary separator has one
unique feature that sets it apart
from the rest; the ability to rotate
the concave up over the top of
the rotary separator when it is not
required. This makes it possible
to optimise machine performance
in dry conditions, improving
throughput. The separating system
performs at maximum capacity
according to the type of crop
being harvested and straw
quality requirements.
The unit is electrically operated
from the left-hand side of the
machine, requiring no tools.
5 or 6 straw walkers for
separation down to the
very last grain
The long straw walkers feature
4 steps with “active walls”. The
210 mm high vertical sections
of the walker steps are punched
grids. This gives extra open
surface area for more efficient
separation. The front steps of
the straw walkers are made of
thicker metal to deal with the high
flow of straw from the threshing
system and rotary separator. The
fully-welded walkers are of closed
bottom design and are hot-dip
galvanized for increased durability.
Residue handling – Reduce
your primary cultivation costs
The straw chopper on MF BETA
combines is specifically designed
to give these machines unrivalled
chopping and spreading
performance, ideal for farmers
using reduced tillage operations.
All knives in the straw chopper are
serrated to give a clean chop and
reduce the power requirement.
The fully adjustable stationary
knives and straw chopper hood
ensure complete control over the
quality and spread of the chopped
straw. In addition, the adjustable
floor of the chopper is dimpled,
which deflects the chopped straw
upward, back into the rotating
knives for a finer chop.
The straw chopper is engaged
automatically once the chopper
hood is moved into the correct
working position. The deflection
plate on the straw walker hood
is easily moved by a lever. The
chopper can also be converted
very quickly for harvesting maize.

The simplest is
still the best
The BETA Series shaker shoe
is extremely simple in terms of
design, without compromising
on capacity. Before reaching the
sieves, the crop is directed to
the grain pan, which has high
dividers to reduce grain movement
across the pan on slopes. This
gives excellent distribution of the
grain and chaff over the sieves,
optimising the machine’s
capacity when working on
undulating ground. Any returns
are fed into the main threshing
cylinder for rethreshing.
The reciprocating sieves allow
excellent circulation of the constant
air flow produced by the large
diameter, multi-blade fan, which
is electrically adjustable from the
cab. The sieve profile is the key
to shaker shoe performance.
The high performance sieves are
specially designed with vertical
tags which improve the sample
and allow you to open the sieves
wider for greater throughput. The
practical design also allows one
person to remove and clean the
sieves easily between crops.
08
High capacity grain tank
The grain tanks offer plenty of
capacity (9000 litres on standard
version and 8200 litres on Auto
Level version) while unloading
rates of 105 l/sec rival those of
much larger machines. At 4.45 m
the unloading auger gives plenty of
height and reach to fill any trailer.
The two grain level alarms in the
grain tank ensure there are no
overflows. The MF 7260 and
MF 7270 standard models have
metal grain tank covers, electrically
operated from the driver’s seat.

Auto Level: Guaranteed
performance, even
when working on slopes
To optimise their performance,
MF 7260 and MF 7270 BETA
combines are available in Auto
Level versions. This system levels
the combine rump across slopes
by pivoting the front final drives.
This correction feature makes it
possible to work across slopes up
to 20%. In addition the combine
rump can level up and down
slopes up to 4 % allowing you
to work as if the machine were
perfectly level.
Given the extreme terrain these
combines can operate in, Auto
Level models come fitted with
a powered rear axle giving real
4wd performance, more positive
steering control and greater
traction in difficult conditions.

Massey Ferguson BETA combines
are powered by the latest
generation Tier III AGCO SISU
POWER engines. Having
pioneering technology in
your machine means that fuel
consumption per tonne is
extremely low whilst power from
the engine stays at a constantly
high output.
These electronically controlled
engines are the heart of the
combine harvester and deliver
the power needed for consistent
and efficient harvesting in all
conditions.
The centralised radiators provide
perfect cooling for the engine,
hydraulics and air conditioning.
The rotary screen flips up for easy
cleaning and a dust extractor
keeps it clean in the dirtiest
conditions. Access platforms
provide safe access to the rotary
screen and radiators.
The MF BETA transmission is a
4-speed hydrostatic unit, which
maintains the right speed and
delivers the traction required for
all harvesting conditions. The gear
change lever is ideally located on
the right-hand side behind
the console.

comes with the comfort levels
you would expect on a machine
of this class. With automatic
air conditioning, heating, air
suspended seat, passenger seat
and fully adjustable steering
column, you will be able to harvest
peacefully and in comfort.
A full view of the table is
complemented by the ergonomic
layout of the monitors and
controls. The Agritronic plus
monitor and the seat mounted
right-hand console provide all the
information the operator needs
during harvesting. All cutting
table controls are grouped on
the hydrostatic control lever
and are clearly identified. Extras
like electric mirrors and a fridge
compartment make the driving
experience that much better.
All adjustments can be made on
the go with minimum loss of time,
for efficient harvesting.

Due to simple mechanical design,
the number of drives is minimised,
saving considerable time on
maintenance, so you spend
more time where you need
to be... harvesting!
Reservoirs and fillers for various
fluids are ideally placed for
checking levels or topping up.
The same applies to the
engine air filter.
Daily maintenance on
Massey Ferguson BETA series
combines is minimal – just a few
grease points and checking the
levels of various fluids. In addition,
large, hinged panels provide easy
access to machine components
for daily routine maintenance
or quick checks.
The four major drive engagements
- threshing, table, straw chopper
and unloader use a simple over
centre pulley system retained
by spring pressure. Adjustment
by spring length makes it
straightforward and easy to check.
The aluminium ladder, giving
access to the engine compartment,
can be detached and moved
around the machine to reach
other components.
