Here is an old Massey Ferguson advert from what is believed to be 1965, as the 100 series tractors were first made in 1964 and MF 415 / 515 combines were made from 1965 until 1971.
It features the new "multiflow" range of combine harvesters and has footage explaining how the system works, what its advantages are, and compares different models including the MF410, the MF415 Multiflow, the MF510, and the MF515 Multiflow.
There is also small features for various tractors and balers.
I'm not sure where the footage was shot - it seems definitely UK, and at one point you can see the sea in the background - Berwickshire or Northumberland maybe?
The original footage for this one was not too bad for its age, and being on the cine format.
The resolution was still only 720 x 576, however the colours were still quite vibrant, and there was only a little noise and distortion in the audio.
After getting the original footage digitized and onto the computer, I have edited and enhanced it using several pieces of modern software. It has been upscaled, denoised, sharpened, and the audio has been cleaned up.

This cine footage is from the personal archive of T.S Henderson, formerly of George Henderson & Co, Kelso.
It has been digitally restored by his grandson.

As a student back in 1975, I worked on a farm in North Berwick and I remember the local dealer being George Henderson at Haddington. The A1 from East Linton to Haddington was still a two lane road back then, not a dual carriageway. It was while I was there that the 500 series started to trickle through to replace the 100 series. The MF combine range from Kilmarnock was in steep decline even then with Class and Sperry-NewHolland in the ascendant.

Very interesting Huw, I remember these pre dual carriageway days of the A1!

The thing is with them for example if you needed to stop mid cut you had to reverse back until the straw stopped coming out because if you stopped the straw would back up into the rotor and block it up.

Best combine MF ever made. They stretched the design for the 525 and 625 and then the problems started.

I would suggest that this film was made in 1965, as the 100 series tractors were first made in 1964 and MF 415 / 515 combines were made from 1965 until 1971.

Thanks for that valuable information Robert, I will update the description.

The film was made in 66 as the decals for the 410/510 changed in 66 after the first years production, I run a 1965/66 510 & the decals changed that year , for what it’s worth I run a complete set of 500 series still , a testament to the last good combines they made

@@massey892 I ran a 625 SuperII for a few year, fitted with a 14ft PowerFlow table. The table was a bit heavy for it on my fairly steep land. It went well enough but it was a pig to work on and with and to adjust and repair. It eventually caught fire.

At that speed, 2 things will happen, end up bunging crop up inside, some poor bugger has to scramble inside to un block, but just as bad, 30% of crop will be laid in field instead of in its tank.
