Features

Bale Chamber & Pickup

Feed Channel & Undershot Rotor
The undershot rotor ensures uninterrupted crop flow into the vertical bale chamber, propelling material in for a fast, consistent bale start. The design maximizes productivity and ROI even in the harshest windrow conditions.

Camless Pickup
The RB.146 has a 77″ and the RB.156 has an 87.5″ flare-to-flare pickup width, and comes standard with a camless design. Fewer moving parts mean lower maintenance cost, reduced rolling resistance, less required horsepower and much quieter operation.

Mini Roughtop Formation Belts
Mini Roughtop Belts with an aggressive profile and ultra abrasion resistance ensure quick, consistent bale starting, while spliced ends allow for easy maintenance when needed.

Optional Hydraulic Drop Floor
The optional drop floor gives operators the ability to clear a stoppage without leaving the tractor cab, by hydraulically lowering the feed channel floor to let material pass — minimizing downtime and keeping you baling.

Drive Line & Hydraulics

540 or 1,000 RPM PTO
540 or 1,000 RPM PTO options custom-fit the baler to your operation and existing tractor fleet.

Flexible Hydraulic Configuration
Two hydraulic remotes come standard, with a third remote required for the optional Hydraulic Drop Floor. Auto Cycle equipped balers require continuous hydraulic flow, with an optional Power Beyond Load Sense Kit to ensure maximum oil flow and the fastest cycle times.

Chains & Bearings
High-quality, triple-lip sealed bearings deliver extended service life, and two centralized grease banks make daily maintenance quick and efficient. ASME/ANSI 80 and 100 pitch Diamond® Roller Chain ensures maximum service life in a straightforward drive system. An optional chain lube kit further reduces daily maintenance by continually oiling as needed while operating.

Net & Binding System

Front Load Net System
The Front Load Net system applies net tighter and cycles faster. Simplicity and reliability were the focal points when designing this all-new net system.

Toolless Tension & “DuckBill” Holder
Single-handed, toolless net tension adjustment combines with a “DuckBill” net holder that mechanically places the net on the face of the bale — eliminating failed net feeds due to uncontrollable environmental factors.

Mesh & Twine Binding
Standard mesh and twine binding gives you flexibility across crop conditions and market requirements.

Serviceability & Maintenance

Simple Daily Access
Daily maintenance and checks are made easy by one-piece side shields and swing-away net loading racks that effortlessly open to provide unobstructed access to the centralized grease zerks and chains.

Swing-Away Net Cradle Loader
The swing-away net cradle loader transitions the net roll from storage, to ready, to load in just seconds — so the operator never incurs the full weight of the net roll. Within a few minutes the net is loaded, threaded and tensioned without tools, minimizing the time an operator spends outside the cab.

Technology & Electronics

Common Electronic Architecture (CEA)
Cross-platform commonality allows easy integration into any operation. CEA commonizes electronic components, reducing complexity and ensuring the highest quality components for a StraightForward & Dependable experience.

Operator Interface
Baler screens standardize with other balers in the Massey Ferguson family, so operators easily navigate settings such as bale size, number of wraps and bale density with a single touch on the home screen. Bale shape, bale size and baler status appear in vibrant colors for easy viewing in the field.

ISOBUS Compliance
ISOBUS Compliance lets the baler work screen populate in other OEMs’ in-cab ISOBUS terminals.

Tractor Implement Management (TIM)
When paired with TIM-equipped tractors, TIM allows the baler to stop the tractor once a full bale is reached, reducing operator error and fatigue.

Telemetry & On-Board Scales
Massey Ferguson telemetry enables remote monitoring of location, bale count, bale weight (if equipped with scales), moisture and last bale diameter. A seamlessly integrated scale kit lets the operator monitor individual and cumulative bale weight right from the baler monitor.

Bale Cycle Automation
All 1 Series balers can automate the tie cycle, and when equipped with the Auto Tailgate option, bales are wrapped and ejected effortlessly without input from the operator.
