2024 Hesston 1800 Series 1844S

2024 Hesston 1800 Series 1844S

Thanks to our exclusive in-line design, every small bale produced by our Hesston by Massey Ferguson® 1800 Series is easier to handle, stack and feed. Our bales are also denser, with more consistent bale flakes and less leaf loss. The 1800 Series is now available with the revolutionary SimplEbale™, so you can monitor bale formation to create the perfect bales on-the-fly — without ever leaving your seat.

Features may include:

Key Benefits

Unlike competitors, our 1800 Series is designed to follow directly behind the tractor. The result is dense, high-quality hay with no flimsy, banana-shaped bales that immediately fall apart when they're picked up.

Regardless of your operational goals, our robustly-designed 1800 Series balers fit commercial and conventional applications.

The hydraulic bale density system in conjunction with the in-line design provides more uniformity in bale shape and weight as baling conditions change.

Since the baler follows the tractor, your transport and field operating positions are the same, allowing accumulators to follow directly behind the tractor.

With 20% more capacity and our legendary dependability, the new Hesston 1842S baler delivers fast ROI and low cost of ownership.

The in-line design allows for gentler handling of the crop as it enters the chamber, reducing leaf shatter and improving forage quality.

Performance

The Hesston by Massey Ferguson 1842S provides 20% more capacity than our market-leading 1840 Series.

Our pre-compression chamber improves bale consistency by pre-forming the bale.

Four rows of pick-up teeth improve crop feeding performance, particularily in heavy windrows and uneven crops.

Our OptiForm™ bale chamber for the 1840 has been extended by 18 inches to ensure consistent bale shape and density in all conditions.

Productivity

To fit the needs of your operation you can choose the two-tie 14”x18” models 1840 or 1842S, or the 15”x22” three-tie 1844S.

Because field and road positions are one and the same, you save time when you’re on the move.

A hydraulic density system enables the baler to maintain bale weight and dimensions even as hay moisture conditions change throughout the day.

Industry-leading strokes per minute maximizes productivity by increasing bales per hour, getting you in and out of the field faster.

2-Tie Baler Comparison

The 1842S is fitted with a 22% heavier flywheel in comparison to the 1840 model, transferring energy into the bale flake thus creating a denser bale.

Engineered to cope with more power and high loads, the 1842S features a heavy-duty gearbox resulting in superior dependability and reliability.

With its tapered design, the 1842S feeding chute provides 37% faster pickup turns. The 1842S chute is 83% wider than the 1840 model allowing for greater capacity and unhindered crop flow.
