The last combine harvester designed in Randers, Denmark, is the hybrid combine harvester MF Delta, introduced in the autumn of 2009. It was also intended to be produced in Denmark, but before mass production began, Agco decided to close the factory and move production to Italy, to the Laverda plant, which it simultaneously acquired entirely for itself. In 2009, 220 combines had been manufactured in Denmark and 320 in Italy.

The Delta was based on the Centora, introduced a year earlier. Instead of threshing bars, it had two longitudinal rotors. Behind the threshing drum was a straw walker and a rotor feeder that divided the straw mass between the two rotors. A special feature mentioned was a cleaning system utilizing the Venturi effect, where a low-pressure area formed between two fans. The cutting platform was a Power Flow equipped with a belt conveyor. The Delta was also available as an AL model with a 12-degree tilt.

The engine in this model was the newly introduced 7-cylinder 9.8-liter Agco Power, delivering 500 hp including boost power. The engine used SCR technology. The Delta reached the market for the 2011 harvest season and was also sold as the Fendt X-series.

For 2014, a new Skyline cab and Fendt's 10.4" Vario terminal were introduced as the control devices.
