Glad you enjoyed it - more to come, when I get the time to edit more footage.

As a student back in 1975, I worked on a farm in North Berwick and I remember the local dealer being George Henderson at Haddington. The A1 from East Linton to Haddington was still a two lane road back then, not a dual carriageway. It was while I was there that the 500 series started to trickle through to replace the 100 series. The MF combine range from Kilmarnock was in steep decline even then with Class and Sperry-NewHolland in the ascendant.

Very interesting Huw, I remember these pre dual carriageway days of the A1!

The thing is with them for example if you needed to stop mid cut you had to reverse back until the straw stopped coming out because if you stopped the straw would back up into the rotor and block it up.

Best combine MF ever made. They stretched the design for the 525 and 625 and then the problems started.

That's interesting, I was not aware of that.

I would suggest that this film was made in 1965, as the 100 series tractors were first made in 1964 and MF 415 / 515 combines were made from 1965 until 1971.

The film was made in 66 as the decals for the 410/510 changed in 66 after the first years production, I run a 1965/66 510 & the decals changed that year , for what it’s worth I run a complete set of 500 series still , a testament to the last good combines they made

@@massey892 I ran a 625 SuperII for a few year, fitted with a 14ft PowerFlow table. The table was a bit heavy for it on my fairly steep land. It went well enough but it was a pig to work on and with and to adjust and repair. It eventually caught fire.

I worked at a massy dealership loved when fall arrived I be out on the road keep them massy combines rolling when I had problem I needed help with I called Charlie mc Earl he was our technical help in the Memphis TN area with his help them massys kelp on rolling tell the harvest was.over it was a great feeling looking forward to another year another harvest I owned a 410 massy rice and beans special i least it out in the spring and fall when I would go out late in the day to check it over I would take my two boys with me I'd cut a little with it they loved it that's been many years ago they still talk about riding on the combine massy makes a top of the line combine

Fantastic memories George! - a different age eh!

At that speed, 2 things will happen, end up bunging crop up inside, some poor bugger has to scramble inside to un block, but just as bad, 30% of crop will be laid in field instead of in its tank.
