Massey Ferguson 8570 Combine

mm-hmm [Music] from here it's easy to see how big the job at harvest time is and when harvest time comes these thousands of acres each field each acre each row each plant waits for no one in today's grain market it takes more than just growing a quality crop to be competitive delivering those high yields from the field to the bin is crucial to a profitable operation and the best way to get more grain out of the field is with the massey ferguson 8570 rotary combine massey ferguson's harvesting experience and advanced rotary combine maximizes reliability and profits from any operation by bringing together harvesting efficiency ease of operation and simplicity of design at the front end of the massey ferguson 8570 rotary is a feeding system that offers a number of outstanding unique features that lead the industry this is where harvesting efficiency starts with even and consistent feeding the 8570 ensures even feeding with a heavy duty chain slat conveyor of alternating replaceable bolt-on u-channel slats that gently move the crop up the high-capacity elevator housing the front drum floats between adjustable rubber stops as a crop consistency changes maintaining a positive feed in heavy and light crop conditions if a slug in the header or elevator is encountered a hydraulic feeder reverser allows the operator to back material out of the throat and header without leaving the operator's seat saving downtime and operator effort a unique feature in the 85 70s feeding system and one that sets it apart from the competition is a 17 inch diameter front beater this meter performs two very important functions first it protects the rotor from stone damage by driving objects down into the stone trap which dumps easily from the right side of the combine secondly the front beater accelerates fluffs and evenly delivers the crop from the elevator to the rotor intake auger a conical shaped rotor inlet directs crop into the rotor intake auger not only from underneath but also on both sides ensuring a gentle uniform rotor feed less crop damage and less rotor and intake component wear by comparison competition force feeds their rotors from the front causing crop damage and excessive rotor and feed chain wear the rotor assembly plays a key role in maximizing efficiency with a 27.5 inch diameter and a length of 140 inches by comparison the mf 8570 rotor is the longest in the industry 22 longer than its closest competitor this exceptional link maximizes multi-pass threshing and separation the end result higher quality grain in the grain tank and greater machine capacity rotor operation can be divided into four main function areas beginning at the front is the intake followed by the threshing separating and discharge the intake begins with a three-flight auger assembly that is hard surfaced and bolted to the front of the rotor for easy service the gentle feeding process of the front feeder ensures a long maintenance free life as the crop leaves the intake auger three large threshing elements or combs smooth out any bunches and begin the 8570s efficient threshing process next three sets of rast bars are positioned around the rotor to complete the threshing process threshing actually occurs between the rast bars and the seven sections of concaves located below two configurations of concaves are available one for coin and soybeans and the other for small grains both wrap 160 degrees around the rotor providing over 20 percent more total threshing area than the competition concave to raspbar clearance is easily adjusted from the left side of the combine and shown by an indicator when harvesting small grains or in conditions that may require additional threshing up to three cover plates can easily be installed on the bottom of the concaves these standard cover plates hold the crop to be threshed in the concave for a longer period of time with more aggressive threshing is required the 8570s control crop flow is a combination of the action of stationary veins in the upper rotor shell centrifugal force and the rotor's exceptional length gentle threshing and greater separation capacity is achieved as crop rotates up to five times around the rotor this uniquely gentle process provides adequate time for total threshing and separation before crop residue exits the back of the rotor three rotor sweeps are located along the sides of the rear section of the rotor sweeps move the crop across four separator grates where centrifugal force separates the remaining grain from the residue separated grain drops onto the preparation floor of the cleaning system in some weedy or viny crops rotor knives are required to keep crop moving smoothly through the rotor process 21 bolt-on knives are included on the rotor knives may be added or removed as conditions warrant the patented direct rotor discharge provides the performance choices of allowing prop residue to fall directly on the ground into an optional straw spreader or straw chopper that easily slides back out of the way this design does not require additional power absorbing complicated drives to discharge the crop the rotor drive is unique to the industry as it is powered directly by a hydrostatic motor through a heavy duty planetary drive gear box this powerful drive efficiently provides rotor speeds from 0 to 1010 revolutions per minute on grain machines and 0 to 868 revolutions per minute on corn soybean and rice combines and to make it easy for the operator rotor speed can be quickly matched to the crop or conditions by turning a dial in the cab while monitoring the digital tank should heavy crop stop the rotor the operator can simply rock the rotor in a reverse direction from the operator's seat once the rotor is cleared harvesting can continue saving valuable harvest time and operator effort final cleaning and separation occurs under the rotor where adjustable deflectors direct the crop onto the grain pan and into the shoe area the reciprocating motion of the grain pan assists with separation and moves the crop to the cleaning system airflow from a 27 and 5 8 inch diameter fan carries the lighter shaft material out the rear of the combine allowing the heavier grain to drop through the chapter assembly fan speed is easily adjusted and monitored from inside the cab ensuring optimum performance at all times total cleaning area is an incredible six thousand four hundred twenty five square inches with three thousand six hundred thirty six square inches for the champer and two thousand six hundred sixty four square inches in the lower sieve all this cleaning area provides exceptional cleaning performance tailings requiring additional threshing are returned to the auger area of the rotor repeating the process clean grain is moved quickly by the high capacity 10 inch wide clean grain elevator to the large 227 bushel grain tank grain samples are easily checked from this convenient opening near the cab door reducing sample time and wasted grain the fold down extensions not only add capacity but improved storage clearance the 8570s long turret style unloading auger has plenty of clearance for 25 and 30 foot tables and empties the tank at a rate of two bushels per second adding to the operator's convenience the unloading auger swing is operated hydraulically by an electric switch located on the ground speed control lever the auger is easily engaged with a lever placed to the left of the operator in a natural position for easy operation when massey ferguson started developing the rotary combine design they made simplicity of design and maintenance a top priority this is one time when less means more compare the mf-8570 to the competition and you quickly see from the front to the back top to the bottom under every access panel the massey ferguson rotary has incorporated fewer drives fewer belts fewer chains and fewer grease fittings some competitors have as many as 25 main machine drive belts compared to only 11 belts on the 8570 notice the number of high wear open gear drives power robbing gearboxes and driveshafts with universal joints used by the competition the 8570 only has two some of the others have as many as 16 with fewer drives massey ferguson quickly lowers the horsepower absorbed and reduces the number of items to service precise control of the rotor operating speed is through an efficient hydraulic motor using only one small variable speed drive pulley to control the cleaning fan all of the competition uses at least two high maintenance costly variable speed pulleys to drive their rotor or cylinder the grain pan used in the 8570 rotor efficiently handles large volumes of grain without grain damaging augers used by many competitors what does this simplicity of design add up to besides fewer parts to wear and less horsepower absorption it means less maintenance most combines have more than twice as many grease fittings than the mf-8570 however when you have a machine with an exceptional threshing system tremendous capacity and unique drive systems you must be sure the power is available to put these features to use and keep them productive under the toughest of conditions the massey ferguson 8570 is powered by a cummins c-series diesel engine turbocharged and after-cooled providing outstanding backup power economical performance and reliable long life this power boost equipped engine is rated to 240 horsepower at 2200 rpm if conditions demand and the engine rpm is pulled below 2200 horsepower increases to 250 horsepower at 2000 rpm getting you through those heavy crops and tough conditions with ease traction control is key when you're operating large high-capacity equipment 8570 offers proven reliability for the sauer sunstrand high torque hydrostatic drive system hydrostatic motor mounts directly with the heavy duty constant mesh four-speed transmission transmission allows matching of speed and torque requirements to all field conditions and the convenient location of the hydrostatic control lever takes the strain out of those long days at harvest to ensure power is transmitted efficiently to the ground a heavy duty bowl gear planetary combination final drive is used these units are proven with a reliable long life design and incorporate large double disc brakes on the input shaft for smooth even the rear axle of the combine is available in the standard adjustable design or with the factory powered assist option depending on the option selected a variety of wheel and tire designs are available to match field requirements another major feature that makes the mf 8570 combine stand out among the competition is the hydraulic system an efficient closed center pressure flow compensated hydraulic system is used and is designed to reduce horsepower requirements and heat while maximizing operator convenience and control the main hydraulic system is supplied by a large engine mounted axial piston load sensing hydraulic pump the pump supplies up to 28 gallons per minute and has a maximum pressure setting of 2500 pounds per square inch hydraulic flow as required is applied to efficient electric over hydraulic control valves operator comfort is a key component of developing a complete combine package the controls must be easy to use correctly placed and in an environment that is both comfortable and quiet massey ferguson has addressed all of these areas starting with 7-way adjustable operator seat and body seat with storage compartment tilt steering column exceptional view of header and field through tinted glass large seventeen thousand btu air conditioner thirteen thousand btu heater and all operating controls and monitors are conveniently placed for easy operation an hour a day or a week of operation in the 8570 cab will quickly convince every operator that proper design makes a big difference in comfort the 8570 provides all the features necessary to make the operator as productive as possible features like automatic header height control with a state-of-the-art electronic header height system easily adjusted from inside the cab and automatic reel or pickup speed control where hydraulic flow is automatically varied to the rear drive or pickup drive motor maintaining the same speed ratio even though ground speed may change plus an optional real foreign aft control allowing the operator to hydraulically move the reel on the go to the most efficient position regardless of crops and conditions a 15 channel machine and engine monitor includes a digital readout with six selections an engine hour meter and the grain loss monitor indicates any increase in shoe losses from the left and right side all standard equipment to keep the operator fully
