09 FROM MASSEY FERGUSON The benefits of in-line baling Easy on the road, easy in the field. You’ll notice the first advantage before reaching the field. Even though the MF 1840 features a wide pick-up, transport width is exceptionally narrow because of the in-line design allowing easy access to narrow lanes and awkward gateways. And when you get to the field, there is no need to manhandle the baler from a ‘transport’ position to a ‘work’ position – you just lower the pick-up and start baling. In-line design The unique centre-line construction is designed to run in-line directly behind the tractor...

Superior feeding Crop flow The 1.9 metre wide pick-up features a small diameter, ‘low-profile’ design with closely spaced tines ensuring that windrows are picked up cleanly with minimal disturbance and leaf loss. Gauge wheels, fitted as standard to either side, further help the pick-up to follow uneven ground contours, avoiding pick-up tine damage. The MF 1840 features a four tine bar pick-up for higher throughput. The crop is delivered into the pre-compression chamber where the flake is pre-formed before entering the main chamber. This ensures a well-shaped bale is formed improving bale density...

13 FROM MASSEY FERGUSON OptiForm bale chamber Rugged knotter design To ensure superb bale shape in all conditions and maintain consistent density, the OptiForm bale chamber is 460 mm or 30% longer when compared to the previous MF 1839 baler.

These help to complement the pressure applied to the bale from the top and bottom density rails. The Hesston design of knotters are built to operate reliably season after season, with minimum fuss or maintenance. Their rugged...
