| The Drive-Train provide a drive axle beam as an integral part of the combine frame structure. This is where the strength and integrity of the combine suspension, drive and braking system is designed in for long life . Heavy duty final drives provide a gear reduction of 7.066:1. The drive axles powering the final drives are located behind the main axle beam to protect them from damage. A heavy-duty constant mesh four-speed linear shift transmission efficiently transmits combine engine power to the ground. Whether you are harvesting the maize fields of Mpumalanga or the hills of Kwazulu Natal, Massey Ferguson 9000 Series combines have the power train components to handle the task! Combine braking power is efficient and effortless. Large diameter hydraulic drum and shoe brakes are located on the transmission output shaft inboard of the final drives. This location gives the brakes maximum mechanical advantage over the inertia of the combine for maximum braking power under heavy loads. A wide range of tire and wheel options let you select the right combination for your conditions. Select from singles to duals or the new Michelin Megabib series of low pressure steel belted radial tires. This new Michelin tire offering features a large gross flat plate for greatly improved traction, reduced soil compaction, much longer tread life and improved ride quality. |
