In the autumn of 2000, the 8-rotor 7278 Cerea was introduced at the top of the MF 7200 series, featuring a 350-horsepower engine (387 hp ISO). The cutting table now came standard with the Powerflow system (conveyor belt) and automatic cutting height adjustment. The length of the cutting table from the fingers to the center of the feed auger was an impressive 114 cm. The multifunction lever in the cab had even more functions, including control of the Datavision II system. A new optional feature was the hillside threshing sieve.

In 2002, the 7256, 7272, and 7274 Cerea models with the same features were introduced. The smallest of these had 5 rotors, while the others had 8 rotors. The threshing drum in all models now had a diameter of 60 centimeters, and the designs were further standardized with those of Fendt combines. The Rotary Separator in front of the rotors was standard on the 7278 Cerea. Only the two largest models remained in production after Laverdas-made Activa and Beta series were added to the MF lineup in 2004. Alongside Fendt, Cerea series combines were also produced in Challenger colors.
