Combine harvester MASSEY FERGUSON MH/MF 722 - 788

МН-722 and МН-726 harvest combines were the first self-propelled combines which were on sale in Europe.  The gasoline engine of the Continental brand with a power of 35 h.p. was installed on the MH-722 model, and the engine of the Austin brand of 56 h.p. was installed on the MN-726 model.  Engines were placed in the safe protected from fire place. Pick-up of a header was carried out by means of the electric drive.

In 1952 the MN-726 model was replaced with new Massey Harris 780 which had much more widely a threshing drum. The 6-cylinders diesel engines with  56 hp power were set on these models.   Harvesters were equipped with a hydraulic adjustable header.

About 28000 units of these harvesters were sold.  The MN-788 combine which was made until the end of the 60th years was the following model. The Perkins engines with 62 HP power set these combines in motion.
