Combines Massey 5650

Dan I'm in australia and never saw or heard of the 5650 There was a 5500 model which was a power take off (tractor pulled) machine made in Australia.It had a 50" cylinder but was based on a smaller (40" model 542) machine and when massey engineers widened it they forgot that you also have to increase the diameter of shafts etc to take the extra . I believe this model to be the most unreliable Massey harvester. By this stage (mid 80's) Massey had totally lost the plot in Australia (Canada also) Its a shame too because they had good harvest and tillage gear, the best dealer network but they never got the message about service and customer satisfaction.
