*All 1800 Series balers feature the exclusive in-line design, hydraulic bale density system, OptiForm bale chamber, and SimplEbale compatibility.
Features
Better hay starts with a better baler.
The Hesston by Massey Ferguson 1800 Series stands apart from competitors with an exclusive in-line design that follows directly behind the tractor. No more flimsy, banana-shaped bales that fall apart when you pick them up. The in-line layout also means your field and transport positions are the same, so accumulators follow directly behind the tractor for faster, easier work. With industry-leading plunger speeds (100 strokes/min on the two-tie models), hydraulic bale density control that adapts to changing moisture conditions throughout the day, pre-compression chambers for consistent bale flakes, and SimplEbale compatibility for on-the-fly weight monitoring, the 1800 Series gives you dense, uniform, nutritious bales every pass.
Key Benefits
In-Line Innovation
Unlike competitors, the 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 picked up.
Capability
Regardless of your operational goals, the robustly designed 1800 Series balers fit commercial and conventional applications.
Ease of Use
The hydraulic bale density system combined with the in-line design provides more uniformity in bale shape and weight as baling conditions change throughout the day.
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
With 20% more capacity and legendary dependability, the 1842S 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.
Performance
Boosted Capacity
The Hesston by Massey Ferguson 1842S provides 20% more capacity than the market-leading 1840 Series.
Better Performance Through Pre-Compression
The pre-compression chamber improves bale consistency by pre-forming the bale before it moves to the plunger.
Pick-Up Performance
Four rows of pick-up teeth improve crop feeding performance, particularly in heavy windrows and uneven crops.
Bigger Bale Chamber
The OptiForm bale chamber for the 1840 has been extended by 18 inches to ensure consistent bale shape and density in all conditions.
Productivity
Three Models to Choose From
Two-tie 14″x18″ models (1840 or 1842S) or the 15″x22″ three-tie 1844S. Match the baler to your operation.
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
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 maximize productivity by increasing bales per hour. Get in and out of the field faster.
1842S Two-Tie Baler Upgrades
Robust Flywheel
The 1842S is fitted with a 22% heavier flywheel than the 1840, transferring more energy into the bale flake to create a denser bale.
Heavy-Duty Gearbox
Engineered to cope with more power and high loads. Superior dependability and reliability.
Faster Crop Feeding
The tapered feeding chute provides 37% faster pickup turns. The 1842S chute is 83% wider than the 1840 for greater capacity and unhindered crop flow.
Heavy-Duty Plunger Counter Balance
Increased rotating mass transfers energy to the flake and results in smoother tractor and baler operation while reducing power requirements and fuel consumption.
High Capacity Dual Feeding Forks
Like the 1844 model, the 1842S offers a high capacity feeding system with dual rows of stuffer forks that transfer increased crop flow to the bale chamber and boost throughput.
Heavy-Duty Knotters
The 1842S features Rasspe knotters, offering superb dependability with great flexibility across many different types of twine.
SimplEbale Technology
SimplEbale Compatible
Retrofittable kit brings the functionality of large square baler features to small square balers. Available on all 1800 Series models.
Simply a Better Scale
Stop climbing out to weigh bales. The SimplEbale bale scale allows on-the-fly monitoring of bale weights so you can stay in the seat.
See When It Counts Most
SimplEbale kit provides unmatched LED lighting upgrade for when the workday becomes the worknight.
Bale More, Worry Less
If equipped, the Ag-CoPilot monitor gives you the information you need to make a better bale, or even does it for you.
