Features and Updates
- Chain drives and robust roller chain decrease downtime and maintenance
- Maintains the tried and true Hesston double knotter design and low-profile pickup
- ProCut™ rotary cutter option pushes material through stationary knives delivering a precise cut, more capacity and easier serviceability
New 5 Bar Pickup Reel
Encourages a smoother crop flow than the previous four bar one. The improved design creates a better flake, and in turn, delivers better bales. The new poly tine wrappers are superior to the metal bands as they’re more flexible and highly durable- making for a longer service life and reducing noise. Parts and maintenance are minimized with the single piece tine bar.
New Knotter Trip System
A time saving and efficient feature which allows operators to adjust the bale length from within the cab. Instead of the traditional metering and arm gear, operators can now use the ISO-compatible display to enter the length they want and the technology implements the rest. Pair this with a compatible Tractor Implement Management (TIM) system and the baler will communicate with the tractor the most efficient ground speed and the tractor will make the necessary adjustments.
Axle and Tire Configuration
Modified from a double bogey system to a single bogey system delivering a smoother ride and additional clearance under the axle. The tires are also larger and come standard with a 650/2.5 size.
Roller Bale Chute Lift Mechanism
Adjusted so the cylinder and mount are now on the right side of the chute instead of below. This eliminates previous ground clearance issues and the tailgate can be moved up and down with ease.
Pre-Compression Chamber
Flakes are all pre-formed in the pre-compression chamber prior to heading to the plunger- thus creating uniform, dense bales.
Auto Lubrication
Knotter auto-lubrication system is oil based and is constantly lubricating, therefore reducing maintenance time. It is completely automatic and can be controlled on the Datatronic 5 terminal.
Electronic Integration Improvements
Massey’s Datatronic™ 5 terminal and MF Connect deliver streamlined operations and data tracking.
Take your Massey Ferguson big square baler to the next level with the HayBoss DryMax applicator and BaleMax dry preservative. This ISOBUS-integrated system delivers precise, automatic application of a proven microbial preservative to help reduce spoilage, extend storage life, and improve feed quality. With more flexibility to bale at higher moisture levels, you can protect your forage investment and keep your operation running smoothly.
