Performance boost for large square baler

Massey Ferguson has unveiled a series of enhancements to improve its popular MF 2200 Series large square balers.

As well as being easier to operate using the new MF BaleCreate terminal display, the latest balers now inherit low maintenance, robust components from the high capacity MF Ultra HD model.

The machines also come equipped with new running gear, a higher capacity pick-up and stronger, more durable components, says Jérôme Aubrion, Massey Ferguson’s marketing director for Europe and the Middle East.

“Massey Ferguson’s MF 2200 Series set the large square baler standard. The balers have a great reputation among professional users for not only reliability and their ability to make consistent, high quality bales, but also delivering low ownership costs.” 

The new balers benefit from a range of new components, already proven on the Massey Ferguson MF Ultra HD models, which further improve durability.

Capacity and performance

“Throughout the machine, numerous other updates boost capacity and performance,” adds Mr Aubrion.

The new axles make the MF 2200 Series balers now less than 3m wide on the largest tyres.

A new model numbering system matches the existing bale sizes in imperial measurements. 

All the balers are equipped as standard with the Packer feeding system, while the ProCut Cutter is an option for all, apart from the MF 2244 version.

All new MF 2200 Series balers are equipped with MF Connect telemetry as standard. This enables owners and managers to monitor the machine’s location, performance and operating status on a secure webpage or mobile App.

It is said to be particularly useful for fleet management, enabling users to quickly locate machines and manage jobs more easily. With the owner’s permission, dealers can provide remote support by monitoring machines with service and maintenance notifications.

All models are also fully compatible with Tractor Implement Management (TIM) – which monitors baler performance and target settings and then automatically speeds up or slows down the tractor to achieve optimum results.
