Sounds like the operator is hitting his stride now and finding an equilibrium too.

Isn't it about time Fendt gets it's own page here on the forum since it's not a Massey and never will be...?

 

[Haystack]

That’s a good idea. But I beleve the IDEAL actually is a Massey Ferguson in the UK and Australia.

One was in my neighborhood last week, didn't have a chance to check it out, guy said 485 bu tank unloads in 90 seconds, 12 row corn head running 6.5 mph. Impressive machine, impressive price tag... $685k.

That Ideal was designed by AGCO's MF division in Europe. It originally was to be marketed as a MF world wide, but AGCO did surveys and found majority of USA farmers like Fendt and disliked MF so they are taking a chance on the Fendt name to gain more customers.

Whatever you gota tell yourself to keep believing Massey Ferguson makes the world go 'round. I'd definitely agree with you on the second half of your comment. I find it funny that all the Massey fans think "Massey" has designed everything for AGCO in the last 25 years and is still designing everything. Massey Ferguson became nothing more than a brand under AGCO when they were bought up back in the mid 90's, not a company that is still designing and engineering. AGCO designed the machine.

What’s curious is AGCO never owned the plant that produced European Massey Ferguson combines until 2011. Even more curious, the Germans awarded Massey Ferguson a prize for developing the IDEAL.

Yes your right ,but MF Europe and Laverda have been working together since 1989.

John Deere are releasing information on their version of the Big Massey. Even the model number looks derivative https://www.realagriculture.com/2019/11/john-deere-unveils-the-x9-twin-rotor-combine/

Probably totally different then the ideas l under its skin, it should be interesting🤔 .

 

[torriem]

It's not all that different from what I can see from the bits of info coming out. It's just another bigger twin rotor combine. Like Massey Ideal it uses 2 full size rotors. Shaker pan, sieves, rethresher, chopper. 600 hp class 10, so technically bigger than the Ideal. But it's a bit better looking than the Ideal. Still angular lines but not quite as ugly. And I'm guessing around $1m. Insane.

600 hp class 10, so technically bigger than the Ideal.

Both the Ideal 10 and Claas 8900 use a 790 hp Man engine.

The IDEAL 10 is planned be steered by a left hand joystick, at least in Europe. Apparently orders will be accepted after July 2020 for the 2021 model combines.

Looks like they are taking some notes off the Tribine

What I like about Deere's approach is that they have not reinvented their entire offering. I kinda wished Agco would have done the same, I like the Massey 9500 series. Even more insulting is that in our area, the Ideal will not even be available. I might be wrong but I think they will only have a handful of dealers selling the Ideal in western Canada.
