The Massey Ferguson 9540 Trident combine is a machine built by Massey Ferguson. The engine delivers 370 hp (280 kW). The engine comes from AGCO Power. Rated speed is 2,100 rpm. The model was built in Hesston, Kansas, USA. The fuel is diesel. The engine fitted is the 98 ATI. Rated output across the Massey Ferguson range ranges from 7 to 460 hp; the 9540 Trident combine sits in the upper part of that range with 370 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the MF 8732 below it with 350 hp and the MF 4900 above it with 375 hp. Rated output across the Massey Ferguson range ranges from 5.2 to 340 kW; here the 9540 Trident combine sits in the upper part of that range with 280 kW. 1668 Massey Ferguson models across 56 series are on record.

Massey Ferguson – other harvesters: the collective page of combines outside the named ranges, from the historic Massey-Harris self-propelled 21 and 22 to the MF 30 to 40 ranges, 51 to 340 kW

This page gathers the Massey Ferguson combines the register could not assign to a named range – from the historic Massey-Harris self-propelled combines 21, 22, 26, 27, 29 and 32 of the 1940s and 1950s, with which the so-called Harvest Brigade mechanised North America's grain harvest during the Second World War, through the 30, 40 and 500 ranges to later models such as the 4800, 4880 and 4900. Massey-Harris of Toronto and later Massey Ferguson were among the pioneers of the self-propelled combine; after the 1953 merger with Ferguson and the absorption into AGCO, the combines were for a time built at the former Laverda plant in Breganze, Italy. RS and XP in designations such as the 36 RS and 20XP mark equipment variants of the given range.

The register lists here 123 versions with 51 to 340 kW (68 to 460 hp) from four- to six-cylinders, with engines from Perkins, Cummins, SISU, Valmet and AGCO Power.

Massey Ferguson ranks alongside John Deere, Claas, New Holland and Case IH among the big combine makers of western farm equipment; the historic Massey-Harris self-propelled machines are regarded as a milestone of harvest mechanisation, the more modern ranges served medium and larger arable farms in Europe and North America.

On combines across this span, operating hours, the condition of the threshing and separating units, sieve box and chopper, the tightness of the hydraulics, the condition of the tyres or track undercarriages count, and on the historic self-propelled machines also completeness and originality; parts for current ranges run through AGCO, for the historic Massey-Harris models through vintage-machinery specialists and reproduction parts.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
