Specifications
MF Farmer Series
The MF DM 164, MF DM 205, MF DM 246, MF DM 287 and MF DM 328 provide a sturdy and economical solution to the small and medium size farm without compromising on quality and finish. Ideally suited to farmers with lower horsepower tractors or a limited amount of mowing to carry out, these mowers boast a host of features you would expect to find on larger, more expensive machines.
Key features:
- A PTO shaft with a free wheel clutch, which transfers power through a V belt from the tractor to the in-line cutterbar.
- Each individual cutting head is fitted with shear pin protection, preventing damage in case obstacles are hit. These pins can easily be replaced in the field.
- The flat profile is ideal for heavy crops and, combined with the standard stone guard and large hardened skid, ensures years of trouble-free service.
- Built to perform under the most difficult conditions.
- Provides an exact cut and high material flow without material build-up, leaving fluffy swaths and high quality forage.
Wide Coverage
Massey Ferguson disc mowers with spur gear drive ensure a long working life and low operating costs. The lightweight construction maximises the yield, even with smaller tractors wider working widths can be used. The simple low maintenance design of these mowers also make sure downtime is kept to a minimum.
Cutter Bar
The precision engineered gear bed cutter bar, with elliptical discs, rotating swathformers and robust conveyor drums make sure it is possible to achieve a clean cutting pattern and good throughput even on difficult terrain.
Key features:
- Equipped to handle all loads due to the robust construction with high quality materials.
- Superior Massey Ferguson blades for an extremely high quality of cut.
- High-quality roller bearings used throughout to ensure smooth running gears and long life.
- Full sealing of the complete cutter bar.
MF Professional Series
Designed for contractors and larger farms and built to tackle the big jobs, the MF Professional Series offers many exclusive features that provide high performance and low operating costs.
Angle Drive
At the heart of this system is a continuous, large-dimensioned hexagonal shaft and a robust angular gearbox under each mower disc. This results in even power distribution to all mower discs and the smoothing of torque loads. The wear on components is significantly lower when compared to a conventional spur gear cutter bar. The components are mounted to a robust yet flexible unit. The Massey Ferguson disc mowers with compact angle drive are durable with a low PTO power requirement, ensuring high output cost efficient mowing at all times.
Cutter Bar
The ergonomics of the cutter bar determine whether you will harvest quality forage. The engineers at Massey Ferguson have succeeded in developing a perfectly streamlined cutter bar with the optimum profiles on the underside. As a result, even in adverse conditions, the formation of mounds of soil in field forage crops or on wet land is prevented. The soil is cleanly separated from the forage and flows away under the cutter bar. With a Massey Ferguson cutter bar, you can continue to work when others have had to give up or have not even been able to start working.
Knife Overlap
A perfect cut is achieved due to the large overlap of the mower discs, which are positioned well towards the front. Massey Ferguson mowers use large mower discs and their special shape means that they can handle large volumes of forage – an important aspect, especially for heavy, lying material. A clean cutting pattern is guaranteed with a Massey Ferguson mower!
Axial or Paired Running
You can easily adapt your Massey Ferguson mower to suit any conditions.
The mower discs are converted from axial running to paired running by simply switching the angle drive – all without any additional components.
You can flexibly adapt your Massey Ferguson mower to changing general conditions. Whatever comes your way, you always have the right mowing technology.
DriveGUARD®
Every farmer knows from experience that foreign objects accidentally drawn into the mower can cause significant damage. Massey Ferguson prevents precisely this kind of damage with driveGUARD® – the industry leading overload protection system.
When the mower disc becomes jammed by a foreign object, the driveGUARD® shears off at the predetermined breaking points. This interrupts the power train and the mower disc turns freely.
DriveGUARD® offers the customer extremely cost-effective and reliable protection because, only the throwaway overload disc will have to be replaced if the need arises.
MF Disc Mowers
MF DM 204, MF DM 255 P, MF DM 306 P & MF DM 357
The MF Professional Series disc mowers feature individual compact angular gears that provide an extremely smooth power transfer to all discs, resulting in less wear than a conventional gear drive and ensuring a longer and more reliable cutter bar life. The wedge-shaped bar provides the added benefit of a low cut and the ‘Big Disc’ design ensures a large overlap, which results in a clean cut even when faced with high volume and difficult crops.
The modular design enables quick and easy servicing in the field, should it be required.
Rear, Side Attachment
Lateral suspension with a controlled lifting linkage results in a compact transport position and low transport height. A quick change knife system is standard on the Professional Series mowers, increasing the efficiency of operation.
As an option, the MF DM 255 P can be quickly and easily retrofitted with a roller (RC) or tine conditioner (KC), while the MF DM 306 P can be retrofitted with a KC tine conditioner.
A sturdy exterior support guarantees the long working life of the protective covers thus increasing the operational safety of the machine.
Rear, Centre Support
MF DM 408 TL & MF DM 459 TL
- Rear-mounted mower for medium power tractor classes.
- Hydro-pneumatic suspension.
- Ease of handling.
Hydro-pneumatic suspension system – TurboLift systemInfinitely variable ground pressure control, with the ability to change ground pressure on-the-move as field conditions vary.
The support frame – The cutter bar is supported and guided by the support frame. This is manufactured from high-quality, warp-resistant steel and is designed for extremely high loads.
Centre Support – Vertical Lift
MF DM 265 TL-V, MF DM 316 TL-V & MF DM 367 TL-V
Centre support with vertical folding:MF DM TL-V mowers fold vertically for transporting within the machine’s centre of gravity and provide excellent weight distribution of the tractor / mower combination with compact transport dimensions and a low transport height.
Hydro-pneumatic suspension system:Turbolift system for infinitely variable ground pressure control. Adapts to varying field conditions and eliminates damage to the sward.
SafetySwing protection system:Prevents damage in the event of hitting an obstruction by moving backwards and upwards. Automatically re-engages into the working position through its own weight.
MF DM Trailed Mowers
MF DM 306 TR & MF DM 357 HS TR
- Versatile trailed mower.
- Centrally controlled drawbar linkage.
The MF DM 306 TR & MF DM 357 HS TR are trailed mowers with a centrally controlled drawbar linkage. These machines are characterised by ease of handling and superb agility. The mower can be pivoted at the rear of the tractor both to the left and right. This gives you an enormous advantage, particularly with forage lying on the ground, on sloping terrain and for hillside lines.
Quality Forage
The MF DM 306 TR & MF DM 357 HS TR can be fitted with a tine or roller conditioner as standard. With a conditioner, you achieve quality forage faster because the water loss from your crop is accelerated.
With the specially developed trailed suspension mounting of the cutter bar, the ground pressure is reduced to a minimum – whatever the pivot movement.
User Friendly
The working height can be set over an infinitely adjustable cutting height of 3.5-7.0 cm. As a result, you can react flexibly to changing working conditions. In addition, you can perfectly adapt the contact pressure of the mower to the conditions. Due to the high lift height of the mower, turning manoeuvres on the headland can be carried out seamlessly without causing any damage to transverse swaths.
MF Front Rower
The new and expanding Massey Ferguson range of hay and forage equipment includes a wide array of high quality and energy-efficient front mowers.
These machines are specifically designed to meet the precise requirements of grassland farmers and contractors harvesting a wide range of crops in different conditions.
