The Massey Ferguson 9790 combine is a combine harvester built at the Hesston plant in Kansas, USA. Massey Ferguson has built its combines there since 2002; the site belongs to AGCO and also produces balers and self-propelled windrowers.
Cummins and SisuDiesel are listed as engine suppliers. Output is 330 / 350 PS (250 / 260 kW), depending on how the powertrain is specified. The machine threshes with a rotor and belongs among the brand's large self-propelled combines of the kind that work on North American grain farms and for contractors.
When matching spare parts or valuing a used machine, check the engine plate first, because depending on the individual unit either a Cummins or a SisuDiesel sits under the hood.
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.
