Thanks for specs. Seems they stopped making the small combine after the 2366 then, All the same bigger size after that just different powers and grain tanks.

If you sell your 2366 x what is going to be your next combine?
We currently run a 2366 and a 2166. We need more capacity so one or both needed to go.

The 2166 is on 7000 hours and is a bit like triggers broom as there is not much of the original machine left but a hard machine to sell so is staying.

The 2366 was bought 7 years ago and has been great, in fact I can't think of any proper breakdown we have had with it in 7 years. However it is worth more to sell so its got to go. I would have liked a 5088 or 6088 but they are silly money and rare as hens teeth. I probably should have bought a late 2388 but a really cheap MF 8780 came up. Its a much bigger machine with similar age and hours to the 2366 but I paid less than half what the 2366 is worth. Its also 4wd and has hydraulic rotor drive. If you have ever blocked a rotary you will understand the attraction of a reversible rotor. I probably should have run a mile but I love a bargain.

There’s a saying in the UK; pay peanuts…expect monkeys!
I am aware. We don't really use dealers, we do everything ourselves so I am not that bothered by the lack of parts for the MF locally. The new combine came straight from the original dealer its a one owner machine and included the dealers entire stock of parts to fit the combine as its the only one he had sold. Included in the price we have something like 20 belts and a large pallet of other spares. The 4wd drive makes a big difference here too. If you combine sunflowers and or maize it can get very late!

I have been looking for a Case with a driven rear axle but they make mad money, it adds 10 to 15k to the asking price on something like a 1680 from the late 1980s let alone a machine as young as this MF.

What scares me more about the MF is the common rail engine with its electronics but that is exactly the same Cummins engine as in the Case 6088 etc.

I must admit I’ve never heard of that model of mf combine so had to google it. Unless it’s something else decent painted in massey colours I think I’d be extremely reluctant to sell your nicer axial flow! Just my opinion. Sell the 7000 hour one for whatever it’s worth. Over here that era of mf combines are renowned for electrical issues; circuit boards, old computers etc plus vermin….gives me the heebie geebiees just thinking about it!

As said previously keep yor 2366 ,over here mf combines don't seam to have a good report . If was the only one your dealer sold not realy a good report for them also they have thrown in all the parts they keep for that one ,just saying.

Its not related to the MF conventional combines at all except for the header the rest is a White. Its a very "american" machine by that I mean like the axial its built strongly and with the ability to repair easily. Before my first Axial Flow (2188) I put almost 4000 hours on a MF 40RS and there is no way I would go back to that machine.

If it wasn't so cheap and 4wd I would agree with you. There is an export market for them, I suspect the few sold in europe, mostly ended up in places like Moldovia and Albania so if its a complete dog I can always sell it on.
