Hesston 1800 Series Small Square Balers | Massey Ferguson

Hesston by Massey Ferguson 1800 Series Small Square Balers

Thanks to our exclusive in-line design, every small bale produced by our Hesston by Massey Ferguson® 1800 Series is easier to handle, stack and feed. Our bales are also denser, with more consistent bale flakes and less leaf loss. The 1800 Series is now available with the revolutionary SimplEbale™, so you can monitor bale formation to create the perfect bales on-the-fly — without ever leaving your seat.

Technology & Innovation

IN-LINE INNOVATION

IN-LINE INNOVATION

Unlike competitors, our 1800 Series is designed to follow directly behind the tractor. The result is dense, high-quality hay with no flimsy, banana-shaped bales that immediately fall apart when they're picked up.

CAPABILITY

CAPABILITY

Regardless of your operational goals, our robustly-designed 1800 Series balers fit commercial and conventional applications.

EASE OF USE

EASE OF USE

The hydraulic bale density system in conjunction with the in-line design provides more uniformity in bale shape and weight as baling conditions change.

TRANSPORT AND ACCUMULATOR COMPATIBILITY

TRANSPORT AND ACCUMULATOR COMPATIBILITY

Since the baler follows the tractor, your transport and field operating positions are the same, allowing accumulators to follow directly behind the tractor.

COST-EFFECTIVE BALING

COST-EFFECTIVE BALING

With 20% more capacity and our legendary dependability, the new Hesston 1842S baler delivers fast ROI and low cost of ownership.

NUTRITIOUS BALES

The in-line design allows for gentler handling of the crop as it enters the chamber, reducing leaf shatter and improving forage quality.

BOOSTED CAPACITY

BOOSTED CAPACITY

The Hesston by Massey Ferguson 1842S provides 20% more capacity than our market-leading 1840 Series.

BETTER PERFORMANCE THROUGH PRE-COMPRESSION

BETTER PERFORMANCE THROUGH PRE-COMPRESSION

PICK-UP PERFORMANCE

PICK-UP PERFORMANCE

Four rows of pick-up teeth improve crop feeding performance, particularily in heavy windrows and uneven crops.

BIGGER BALE CHAMBER

BIGGER BALE CHAMBER

Our OptiForm™ bale chamber for the 1840 has been extended by 18 inches to ensure consistent bale shape and density in all conditions.

THREE MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM

THREE MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM

To fit the needs of your operation you can choose the two-tie 14”x18” models 1840 or 1842S, or the 15”x22” three-tie 1844S.

IN-LINE ALL THE TIME

IN-LINE ALL THE TIME

Because field and road positions are one and the same, you save time when you’re on the move.

SET IT AND FORGET IT

SET IT AND FORGET IT

A hydraulic density system enables the baler to maintain bale weight and dimensions even as hay moisture conditions change throughout the day.

TAKE THE PLUNGE

Industry-leading strokes per minute maximizes productivity by increasing bales per hour, getting you in and out of the field faster.

Robust Flywheel

Robust Flywheel

The 1842S is fitted with a 22% heavier flywheel in comparison to the 1840 model, transferring energy into the bale flake thus creating a denser bale.

Heavy-Duty Gearbox

Heavy-Duty Gearbox

Engineered to cope with more power and high loads, the 1842S features a heavy-duty gearbox resulting in superior dependability and reliability.

Crop Feeding

Crop Feeding

With its tapered design, the 1842S feeding chute provides 37% faster pickup turns. The 1842S chute is 83% wider than the 1840 model allowing for greater capacity and unhindered crop flow.

Heavy-Duty Plunger Counter Balance

Heavy-Duty Plunger Counter Balance

Available on the 1842S, the new heavy-duty plunger counter balance provides increased rotating mass which transfers energy to flake and results in smoother tractor and baler operation all while reducing power requirements and fuel consumption.

High Capacity Dual Feeding Forks

High Capacity Dual Feeding Forks

Like the 1844 model, the 1842S offers a high capacity feeding system with dual rows of stuffer forks which transfers the increased crop flow to the bale chamber, increasing throughput.

Heavy-Duty Knotters
