Massey Ferguson released their all-new MF Hesston 2800 series in September 2009. “The Hesston 2800 Series is an evolution in automated round balers, giving producers everything they want in a baler,” says Dean Morrell, Massey Ferguson product marketing manager for hay and forage equipment.
The 2800 Series round baler creates two baling sizes. Model 2846 produces 4-by-6-foot bales compared to 5-by-6-foot bales with Model 2856. The machines offer both auto-tie and the optional Auto-Cycle to enhance output and efficiency. High intake capacity comes from a wide and functional pickup design similar to that of industry-leading Hesston large square balers. A rotor feeder system with side augers feeds the crop into the bale chamber. This baler also has the proven and industry-exclusive Auto-Cycle which manages bale formation from start to finish.
