New Massey Ferguson MF 7300 Activa S combines
High specification and choice from
Flexible new MF 7300 ACTIVA S combines
Two new MF 7300 ACTIVA S combine extend the Massey Ferguson range for the 2012
season. These new harvesters introduce the latest engine technology, a choice of
threshing systems, the ability to fit the high capacity PowerFlow headers and a host of
other significant specification enhancements.
Both new models are now powered by AGCO SISU POWER engines, equipped with
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), developing 243hp in the five straw-walker,
ACTIVA 7345 S and 276hp in the six straw-walker, ACTIVA 7347 S.

“The ACTIVA S range has gained a superb reputation for flexible performance and
reliability,” says Adam Sherriff, Manager – Powered Harvesting. “It’s a real all-rounder,
that now provides medium to large farmers and contractor customers with new
technology, extra comfort and ease of operation from a straightforward design.
“The new models are also very flexible machines that provide excellent harvesting
performance, quality and economy in any crop. As well as a completely new, modern
external design the harvesters now come with a wide choice of specifications to suit
customers’ specific requirements.”

Top economy from SCR equipped engines
Massey Ferguson was the first manufacturer to introduce Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) on a combine harvester and now the new MF 7300 ACTIVA S models benefit
from the latest Generation 2 version of this fuel saving technology. Both combines are
powered by six cylinder AGCO SISU POWER engines – a 6.6 litre, developing 243hp
on the MF 7345 S ACTIVA and a 7.4 litre displacement, 276hp for the MF 7347 S
ACTIVA.
The SCR system treats the exhaust gases with AdBlue, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF),
after combustion and allows engineers to set the engine, as normal, for optimum power
and economy. This results in unrivalled fuel economy, while also meeting the latest,
stringent Stage 3b emissions regulations.
AGCO SISU POWER’s Generation 2, SCR system employs an advanced Diesel
Oxidation Catalyser (DOC), which includes the AdBlue dosing injector nozzle. From
here exhaust gases receive further treatment by SCR Catalysers and ‘slip cats’. Both
machines have a 620 litre capacity fuel tank and a separate tank for AdBlue, which
holds 80 litres.
PowerFlow header choice and new feeder design
The well-proven PowerFlow header is now available on ACTIVA combines for the first
time on the new MF 7345 S and MF 7347 S models. Available in widths from 5.4m to
6.2m, the continuous belt feed to gather crops, reduce table losses significantly and
presents an even ‘heads first’ crop flow. This can boost output by up to 73% in oilseed
rape, 15% in wheat and 12% in barley. Alternatively, customers can choose the
FreeFlow table, in widths from 4.8m to 7.6m.
Auto Level tables are standard, as is automatic reel speed adjustment, relative to
ground speed through the new hydraulic drive system.
Both headers attach to the new heavy duty feederhouse, which extends further forward
to improve visibility during connection and operation. Also new is a three V-belt drive
system.
A new reverser can be used to clear any blockages in uneven crop conditions. This very
reliable system can be engaged to reverse the drive to the table auger, Power Feed
Roller (if fitted), PowerFlow table belts and main elevator.
Threshing and feed system choice to suit crops and conditions
With the introduction of the new MF 7300 ACTIVA S combines, Massey Ferguson is
providing customers with a choice of two, extremely well proven threshing and
separating systems, which employ the 600mm diameter Hi Inertia cylinder that is
1,340mm wide on the MF 7345 S and 1,600mm wide on the MF 7347 S. Both have
independent – front and rear – concave adjustment, which is set electrically with buttons
in the cab.
From here customers have a choice of how to further treat the crop starting with the
straightforward addition of the Active Beater Concave (ABC) - providing 14° of
additional concave wrap.
Those requiring more versatility can select the Multi Crop Separator (MCS) version that
provides the best separation, while remaining gentle on the straw. This employs an
additional rotary separator element, which has the unique ability to rotate the concave
completely out of work when it is not needed.
This increases harvesting flexibility and improves the grain sample, particularly in dry
conditions and when operating with brittle straw. Retracting and fitting the concave into
position is electrically controlled by buttons on the left-hand side of the machine. This
version comes with the Power Feed Roller, which is fitted at the bottom of the crop
elevator and presents an even feed into the cylinder.
Four step straw-walkers offer superb separation
The MF 7300 ACTIVA S combines employ 4.7m long, straw-walkers that feature four
steps and 210mm high ‘Active Walls’, which provide a larger open surface area for more
efficient separation. The MF 7345 S has five walkers, while the MF 7347 S has six.
For extra durability the front steps are also thicker to cope with the high flow from the
threshing system and closed-bottom walkers are hot dip galvanised to protect them
from corrosion.
Both machines now benefit from a new 8,600 litre capacity grain tank, which is fitted
with electrically folding lids, capable of preventing water ingress from light showers. Two
grain tank sensors warn operators when the tank is at 70% capacity and completely full.
Unloading is by a 4.5m long ‘Turret’ auger that discharges at a rate of 85 litres/sec.
Enhanced cab comfort and control
A new cab, befitting the capacity and performance of the new MF 7300 ACTIVA S
models, provides operators with the utmost comfort, ease of control and climate control
air conditioning and heater as standard.
An air-suspended seat is fitted with a new armrest and console, which includes the
Multi-Function Lever control system, along with a cluster of rocker switches for the most
commonly used functions, including threshing system engagement.
All combine settings are now displayed on the AGRITRONIC Plus information and
control system, including the concave front and rear opening adjustments. This
comprehensive system can be used, for example, to set the drum or fan speed, monitor
losses as well as the cutting height and pressure.
Operators also now have a clear view into the grain tank through a large glass rear
window, which provides a quick and easy check of the sample quality.
The spacious cab, which offers improved visibility through a wide screen, is now fitted
with additional lighting with six top working lights, all adjustable and fitted with reliable
and powerful H9 bulbs. Lower down are two low beam and two high beam headlamps
as well as two further working lights.
Modern and practical style
The new MF 7300 ACTIVA S range sets itself apart with its new modern and practical
styling. Massey Ferguson continues with its extensive use of hot-dip galvanising for the
panels and structure to enhance durability and increase residual values.
