Just Launched: Hesston by Massey Ferguson 2170XD “Extra Density” Large Square Baler

The all-new Hesston^® by Massey Ferguson^® 2170XD Large Square Baler allows commercial hay producers and large producers in North America to create large, “extra density” square bales that are more efficient to stack, load, transport and store. This baler has been re-engineered to accommodate the added weight that comes with denser bales, and is built tougher with heavy-duty tension cylinders and plunger arms, a heavier flywheel, and higher-capacity gearbox and driveline to provide the reliable performance producers have come to expect from Hesston.

This baler creates 3- by-4-foot bales, up to 9 feet in length, with bale weights 15 percent greater than the standard MF2170 baler and 30 percent greater than standard MF2170 balers sold before model year 2010.

• Redesigned flywheel is 91 percent heavier to help create a heavier bale while operating smoothly at normal load in most conditions
• Newly designed gearbox comprised of larger, stronger components
• Uses new Category 7 primary and secondary drivelines with heat-treated yokes
• Reinforced frame structure
