massey 9560

[furrowtickler]

Have a 9230 case, and 750 Lexion. 850 bushel cart servicing them. Cart chases down the combines, but older neighbour and mom run the combines right now. They both don’t feel comfortable dumping on the go.

We had much the same combines last two years , 9240 and a Lex 750 .

We had a couple those masseys before that , 9540’s
They were ok once all the many updates were done
Before that they were nothing but grief

traded a 9895 on a 9560... the 9560 is a higher capacity machine that burns 1/2 the fuel..

I found the 9560 a little harder to get set, this year I put an airfoil top sieve in it and bingo.. setting it was easier and as a result capacity increased.

I have 1400 threshing hrs on mine without any issues

Did you get all the updates done on the 9560 ?

I really liked the engines and that V-cool rad, still the best I have run by far .

Before the updates they were a nightmare

[furrowtickler]

Which combine does chuck run ?

coop pull type or the upgraded belarus

Probably swaths backward too !

I think older gleaners but could be wrong
Who knows anymore , lots of fake personalities on here at times

Not sure my experience is of much help but we went from a CR 9070 and a CR 9060 both with 30 foot honeybee headers(a 99 model and a 2014 model) in the fall of 2020 to a 8230 case(programmed to 530 hp) with a macdon fd-75 and kept the CR 9070 as a spare but without a second straight cut header. Both years we used a grain cart. Our goal was to reduce breakdowns and shop time and the number of hired help required. We did swath some of our barley and most of the canola which we used both combines on. Biggest revelation for me was the macdon header, increases the combines productivity and definitely helped with operator fatigue as did the gps on the 8230. First combine we have owned with full guidance. My thought would be to maximize what you have but I appreciate the difficulties of dumping on the go in hilly land. In the end we did almost 3/4’s of the combining with the Case, worked well but of course harvesting conditions this fall were ideal.

ya all the updates were done... mine was used by the dealer that took it in trade as a demo machine for 3 years... So every year they did all the updates that were made to the new machines.. Not just the ones that Massey paid for..
I think the only thing that came on the 9565 that mine didn't have was the double turbo..

the V-cool is worth it's weight in gold.. haven't cleaned the rad once, never worry about a heating issue on those 30 plus C days.. Change the air cleaner filter once a year( probably don't need to but it is a habit)and never blow it out during harvest.

The engine is so quite and economical..

Never blew the air cleaner out during harvest? Holy shit that's hard to believe no dust in your part of the country?

We do the Deeres every second day!

lots of dust... I guess Massey has that and the rad figured out.. Don't worry in a few more years Mother Deere will proclaim they have developed a couple of new features..
LOL

Absolutely true , amazing rad and cleaning system
Easy 200 hrs , still little dust , and that was dusty conditions

[furrowtickler]

The worst combine ever was the 750 Lexion we had
Nearly twice a day

[blackpowder]

2 different 9240s last two years.
Never touched air filter in 220 sep hours. Rad neither.
