I don't believe the division of MF combines was ever stopped. Yes the company went broke and plant was shutdown but it was spun off to a company called Western combine. The last 850/60s and the 8560 we're just badged Massey. The gleaner combine is not going away according to this salesman just the Massey design.
I was just recently talking with an Owner of a Massey Dealership about the combine situation.. he isn't a Fendt dealer so he can't get the Ideal combines
(yet
). He said the Massey rotary of today
(9505s
) won't be discontinued for a few years. They have meetings coming up in the New Year where the dealers will get more info on the direction the combine division will be headed.. He is optimistic that the 9505s will be sold far into the future as they are a Great machine and sell easy when they are demonstrated against their competitors machines.
