Key Benefits

MF RB Exclusive Package

The “Exclusive” package, available for MF Xtra Round Balers, adds Load Sensing or TIM functionality. This new package of features uses the tractor’s Load Sensing hydraulic connection, or ISOBUS – (for tractors equipped with TIM), to automate many functions and reduce operator fatigue. Productivity is also improved, as Exclusive balers benefit from automatic tailgate operation, automatic pick-up raising and lowering, and automatic knife slot cleaning. These balers also offer additional possibilities to utilise smart farming data documentation - including moisture & weight measurements, and dry matter content analysis which can be used to assess feed value, and to help determine requirements for subsequent fertiliser applications to the field.

High speed pick-up

Higher operating speeds are possible with the Massey Ferguson camless pick-up design. With fewer moving parts, the camless pick-up is quieter, simpler and more reliable. Low maintenance and less adjustments save time and increase productivity. The pick-up system has five tine bars with each one being spaced only just 64mm apart, providing higher capacity and a smoother even feed at high speed. On the Massey Ferguson round balers, the pick-up is positioned very closely to the rotor, therefore improving crop flow and reducing the risk of blockage.

Xtracut for optimum cutting performance

Designed for optimum performance, Massey Ferguson Xtracut can be equipped with 13, 17 or 25 knives. Cutter units are fitted with the longest knives on the market, making sure that no material will pass through uncut. Xtracut 17 and 25 feature two sets of hydraulically operated knife banks with separate control from the cab depending on customer requirements.

Hydroflexcontrol - Two stage protection system

The first stage of Hydroflexcontrol allows movement of the front part of the feed chamber floor and will automatically prevent up to 80% of potential blockages and will keep you going without unnecessary downtime. Should a major blockage occur, stage two of Hydroflexcontrol is activated by the operator, and is cleared by lowering the rear of the feed table floor hydraulically from the cab, allowing for material to easily pass through, therefore minimizing downtime.

Bale chamber

The bale chamber is made up of 18 Powergrip rollers which ensure an effective grasp and quicker bale rotation for higher density and improved bale shape. Rollers with 10 ribs are made from a seamless solid tube. They are the industry benchmark for durability and performance, known for their proven design and capability to withstand the harshest environments. The new, improved chamber has a ‘spiral’ form with slightly reduced diameter at the front thus improving feeding and bale rotation, increasing density and net grip when wrapping.

Net Wrap options

Perfect tying of perfectly formed bales is provided by the Varionet system, saving cycle time, tying materials and preserving bales for safe handling and storage afterwards. The tried and tested Varionet net tying system features a reliable net tensioning and spreading device that is capable of dealing with various widths and types of net, allowing for fast tying of bales from edge to edge or over the edge. A Variotwin twine + net tying system is optional.

Xtracut

Xtracut Knife Banks

Xtracut 17 and 25 feature two sets of hydraulically operated knife banks with separate control from the cab depending on customer requirements. The operator can select: a single knife bank, both knife banks or disengagement of all knives.

Pick-up raises automatically

New feature available with the MF RB Exclusive package - the pick-up raises automatically when reversing and during the bale weighing process.

Automatic tailgate

On MF RB Exclusive models - the tailgate opens & closes automatically - releasing the bale as soon as the tying process has finished - saving time and making the baling process easier.

LED maintenance and service lights

Lights beneath the side panels turn on automatically when the panels are opened improving visibility for maintenance.

Hydroflexcontrol

To maximise efficiency in the field and minimise downtime from crop blockages, the MF Round balers are fitted with the unique Hydroflexcontrol protection system which works in two stages:

Hydroflexcontrol - Stage 1

Hydroflexcontrol - Stage 2

Should a major blockage occur, stage two of hydroflexcontrol is activated by the operator, and is cleared by lowering the rear of the feed table floor hydraulically from the cab, allowing for material to easily pass through, therefore minimizing downtime.

Easy Loading System

Fitted as standard, the Easy Loading System (ELS) allows one spare roll to be carried on the baler. Roll replacement can be made in a matter of minutes, thus extending your time in the field and increasing output.

Additional knives Holder

A complete spare set off knives is now available for all balers (the number of knives available depends of the cutting units).

Round Balers - Pick-Up Position

On the MF round balers, the pick-up is positioned very closely to the rotor, therefore improving crop flow and reducing the risk of blockage.

Cam-Less Pick-Up

Higher operating speeds are possible with the MF cam-less pick-up design. With fewer moving parts, the cam-less pick-up is quieter, simpler and more reliable. Low maintenance and less adjustments save time and increase productivity.

Five Tine Bars

The pick-up system has five tine bars with each one being spaced only 64mm apart, providing higher capacity and a smoother even feed at high speed.

Variotwin Twine System

The optional Variotwin twine system offers simple and economical bale tying. The unique Variable Speed Control allows for additional twine revolutions on the bale edges, securing bale ends and increasing overall tying speed.

Varionet Net Wrapping System

The tried and tested Varionet net wrapping system features a special net tensioning and spreading device that is capable of dealing with various widths and types of net allowing for fast wrapping of bales from edge to edge or over the edge.

The number of unique and patented features make our balers stand out from the crowd. The MF RB 3130F is available with the E-Link Control unit as standard; the E-Link Pro monitor with ISOBUS technology is optional for the MF RB 3130F Xtracut; Balers can also be specified with an ISOBUS connection for utilising tractor monitors.

New Bale Control Terminal

New high resolution touchscreen control, included as standard, allows the operator a great overview of the baling process and includes a range of intuitive functions.

Bale Control Terminal functions

Knife selection, Bale pressure adjustment, Bale size adjustment, Net layer adjustment, Net start/stop/pause, Visual bale chamber filling, Softcore bale on/off, Bale counter, Total bale counter, Customer settings, Sensor and actuator settings.

Moisture sensors

MF RB Exclusive models come with moisture sensors as standard. These allow the forage moisture content to be constantly measured and documented as bales are made.

Bale scale

On MF RB Exclusive models - during the netting cycle & after releasing each bale, the whole baler weight is measured, then accurate bale weights are calculated.

Bale finisher

With the Bale finisher mode engaged; bales will always look perfect and ideally prepared for transport. When baling with the chopper, as each bale nears completion the knives automatically disengage to leave the outermost layers uncut.

E-Link Pro Monitor

The E-Link Pro monitor with integrated ISOBUS technology features a large bright screen which offers great visibility of multiple parameters, giving the operator more information and control of the baler.

E-Link Pro Wizard

Specific field or customer information, such as the number of bales or hours worked, can easily be set and collected with the Wizard and later exported via a USB connection for easy management of records and further performance analysis.

ISOBUS

Utilising a single in-cab terminal in the tractor for all implements reduces cab clutter and can make for simpler and more accurate control by drivers who may carry out a wide range of operations with different machines.

Powersplit Gearbox

The Powersplit gearbox equally divides and transfers power to drive the rotor unit on one side and the roller drives on the other, reducing the overall power requirements by simplifying the drivelines.

Centralized Grease Banks

Regular and sufficient lubrication of roller bearings is extremely important, particularly in adverse conditions. Centralized grease banks for roller bearing lubrication are located in convenient positions for easier access and reduced service time.

Automatic Chain Lubrication

Automatic chain lubrication with individual adjustment for each chain guarantees sufficient oil supply, reduces maintenance time and extends chain service life. For added durability the highest quality chains are used throughout the baler.

Bearing Housing Design

The bale chamber can experience extreme loads with forces from all directions. The clever bearing housing design allows some movement of the rollers to eliminate major axial loads occurring during operation.
