How can it boost efficiency, lower operating costs, increase yields and drive profitability? It was an exciting and inspirational project for all those involved.

DRIVING FUEL EFFICIENCY We run a large-scale operation, so fuel efficiency is one of our biggest priorities.

I need the best quality grain sample from the combine for my customers. Superb grain and straw quality The MF IDEAL’s low compression and extra-long rotors, which are gentle on straw, avoid contamination of the sample. The Dual Helix (double rotors) system on the MF IDEAL 8 and MF IDEAL 9 boasts the largest main threshing concave area on the market – a massive 1.66m2 – 25% bigger* than any other combine in the industry. This assures low grain losses at high output and delivers more grain in the tank per hectare. During threshing, low pressure on the straw mat damages less grain, producing a...

The new IDEALharvest™ self-adjusting function option makes life effortless for the driver. Using the grain-quality camera and unique Acoustic Sensors around the combine, a very straightforward dashboard can be brought up on the Tech Touch Terminal or the SmartConnect™ App which allows the operator to choose a combination of quality, performance and sample cleanliness for his harvest. The machine itself then fine-tunes the rotor speed, fan speed and sieve opening. Uniquely, this function can provide a visualisation on the terminal or the App of the crop flow within the machine so the...

As a contractor, we employ several drivers in high season so it’s crucial for the combines to be easy to operate.

Working on slopes The MF IDEAL combines are fitted with the unique IDEALbalance™ grain-pan system. With no extra moving parts, the combination of the two specially-shaped under-rotor pans is insensitive to slopes up to 15% and places the grain mix in exactly the right position for the separation pan, sieve box and fan to produce a clean sample at high output. For those that have a higher proportion of slopes, a ParaLevel version of each model is available where the machine uses a special axle arrangement to keep the whole machine level up to 14%. These models are equipped with the Streamer...
