You will appreciate the features built into the 1400 Series Massey Ferguson and Hesston Series sickle pull-type mower conditioners. Your choices start with a quality side-pull Model 1459 that is the perfect size for small fields and tight quarters. The new Hesston Series center-pivot sickle Models 1474 and 1476 take productivity to the next level. With cutting widths of 14- and 16-feet respectively, these versatile models feature a reliable half-swaybar sickle drive that cycles the dual sickles at a rapid 1820 strokes per minute. Other standard features include our innovative dual auger system, 110-inch wide conditioner rolls, a five-bat heavy-duty reel for more even crop feeding and adjustable sickle guard angle to match field and crop conditions.

An Adjustable Bat Reel with five bats on the Models 1474 and 1476 and four on the Model 1459 moves the crop from the cutterbar to the augers and conditioner, maintaining consistent and even feeding.
110-Inch Wide Conditioner Rolls allow the crop mat to be thoroughly spread across the entire length of the rolls for complete and uniform conditioning.
Dual Counter Rotating Augers are standard on Models 1474 and 1476. The Model 1459 has conditioner rolls almost as wide as the cutterbar so augers are not required.
Heavy Duty Frames on all models make the machine durable and longer lasting as well as allow for a very responsive header floatation system.
