I would think to run an 851 you would need at least a 150 horse power tractor. Your best bet would be a model 405 MF pull type combine but to find one would be tough they had about the same capacity as a 510 your horse power needs would be way less then with an 851. I am not sure but did Massey make a 751 pull typeIJ I don't know if an IHC or John Deere pull type would be something you would want but a 914 IHC or 6601 Deere are pretty common and they would be cheap in price. I hope you find what you want good luck in your search.

trilogy: we have had Massey pull types, a 405 is just too old and it's capacity was that of a MF410, you would want a 751 or better yet a 851. We used a MF 2475(145 hp) to pull the 751_851 combines in a 26' swath. Had lots of power and the 24 speed tranny was great, lots of working speeds. The 851 has a few upgrades from the 751, much better machine, as the pto was beefed up. The horses you'll need will depend on the size of swath and the slowest speed your tractor will travel. Good luck..Neil

I would suggest that you think again about pull type combines, especially as you are used to self-propelled 300s. I ran a pull type for several years, and found it to be a royal pain in the neck (literally, as I was always turning to look back at it. A mirror never works as well as looking directly). Then there was the lack of ability for the tractor to vary its speed like a self-propelled combine, so you ended up with a pain in the clutch foot too, and fumbling around for the right gear - lots of fun in hilly country. You can hear what's going on in a combine when you're in it, so you plug up a lot less than in a pull type. My recommendation is to look for a used 750 or 850 self propelled, as they can be bought quite cheaply these days. I got a 750 with flex head about 5 years ago in Ontario for $4,000 Canadian, and I've seen them go for half that. Your 300's pickup will fit it so you should be able to pick up a self propelled for not much more than a pull type. Besides, you're already familiar with the old 300. The 750 and 850 are its more mature and improved big brothers.
