DULUTH, GA –January29, 2007 (AgNewsWire) — New Hesston® Series large square balers from Massey Ferguson® take efficiency, capacity and serviceability to new levels. The Model 2190 builds solid 4 x 4 bales, and the Model 2170 builds 3 x 4 bales that are the result of a total review of the famed Hesston large square baler concept. These new models with their proven double knotter work harder, faster and easier without sacrificing durability and simplicity of operation. Hay goes in faster and smoother than ever before, and the operator has more control and command than ever before, not to mention spending less time on service than ever before. Even the new shielding with its smooth curves has purpose as dust and chaff slide off, and a single release on either side of the baler reveals all service points.
“We changed the look of these new balers, but it is the changes inside that make them truly superior to anything on the market,” says Eric Raby, vice president, Livestock, Dairy, and Rural Lifestyle Marketing. “Our engineers took our existing large square balers apart and put them back together with greater strength, greater ease of service and greater productivity. Capacity has increased significantly without sacrificing hay quality retention, thanks to the improved feeder design, a higher speed gearbox and other improvements.”
