I saw a black 860 several years ago at the Farm Progress show. It was painted black to commorate an anniversary of the MF company, I believe. At that show they said it was the only black 860. It sure was beautiful.
I saw your message about a black 860, and I was wondering if you or anybody else had pictures of this machine. I would appreciate if someone could post a picture. Thanks.
Black MF 860 was to commemorate company anniversary. Also had U of Iowa Hawk emblem (looks like parrot on speed). Combine was run in Farm Progress show where shoddy job of black paint began to wear away revealing original red paint job. Somebody at Agco likely has pictures. Might try contacting them.
