Massey Ferguson MF 1840: The Perfect Small Square Baler

The MF 1840 is a compact rectangular baler from Massey Ferguson, renowned for its ‘centre-line’ design. This innovative approach ensures that the crop flows in a straight line through the baler, mimicking the functionality of a mini large square baler.

This direct flow optimizes efficiency by eliminating the need to turn the crop before it enters the chamber. Among the standout features of the MF 1840 are its narrow transport width, a 1.9m wide pick-up equipped with standard gauge wheels, and its capacity for short strokes at high speeds.

Recognized as an ideal small square baler, the MF 1840 is a wise investment, whether for personal livestock needs or larger-scale commercial operations. Its 1.9 metre wide pick-up, designed with a ‘low-profile’ and closely spaced tines, ensures clean and minimal-disturbance windrow pickups, resulting in decreased leaf loss.

The hallmark centre-line construction is streamlined to operate in-line behind the tractor, offering unparalleled convenience and field efficiency. The crop transitions to the pre-compression chamber, where it is pre-formed before joining the main chamber. This ensures the creation of well-shaped bales, enhancing bale density and thereby reducing stress on components, culminating in improved baler durability.

The OptiForm bale chamber, which is 460 mm or 30% longer than its predecessor, the MF 1839 baler, guarantees an exceptional bale shape across varying conditions while maintaining consistent density.

In conclusion, the MF 1840 stands out as the quintessential choice for those in search of a dependable and efficient small rectangular baler.

Massey Ferguson MF 1842S: The High-Capacity Square Baler

The MF 1842S is a high-capacity small square baler by Massey Ferguson, crafted to cater to the needs of customers who desire a heavy-duty baler that can deliver additional feeding capacity, output, and if required, extra bale density.

Many of the design elements that made the MF 1840 a success, such as the in-line layout for consistent crop flow, a large pick-up, and its compact design for better manoeuvrability, have been integrated into the MF 1842S.

However, the MF 1842S also incorporates numerous design enhancements that elevate its capacity by up to 20% compared to the MF 1840. Key productivity features include a robust pick-up, a chute designed for high capacity feeding, dual feeding forks, and an enlarged preforming chamber. Moreover, the baler is designed for optimum performance with lower fuel consumption and minimized downtime.

Similar to the MF 1840, the unique in-line layout of the MF 1842S ensures that it runs directly behind the tractor, optimizing convenience and field efficiency. The crop journey, from pick-up to its emergence as a finished bale, is a straight one, enhancing weight distribution and reducing ground compaction.

Built for exceptional performance and reliability, the MF 1842S guarantees maximum productivity during the pivotal harvest season, ensuring crops are processed when conditions are optimal. The baler's main frame is constructed for enduring high loads and a lengthy service life. Additionally, the new pick-up is sturdily built for reliability, complemented by robust knotters that promise both flexibility and dependability.

The MF 1842S produces industry-standard bales measuring 356mm x 457mm (14" x 18"). Despite its impressive performance, it boasts a compact size and a narrow 2.6m transport width, ensuring it moves with agility both on roads and within fields.
