1800 Series Small Square Baler
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. A new addition, the Hesston 1842S is the big brother to the legendary Hesston 1840, offering more capacity and Hesston’s legendary uniform, high-quality bales for maximum ROI. Visit us to give them a look.Key Features at a Glance
Proven In-Line Design
Crops flow straight from the pickup into the bale chamber — no turns, no twisting — for denser, more uniform bales that stack and feed easily.
OptiForm® Bale Chamber
An extended chamber compresses bales evenly on all sides, eliminating banana-shaped bales and ensuring top-quality forage.
Hydraulic Bale Tension
Dial in consistent bale weights regardless of crop or field conditions, maximizing ROI and reducing operator adjustments throughout the day.
High-Capacity Pickup & Feed
Curved-tip pickup tines, cross augers, and optimized stuffer fork geometry ensure smooth crop flow and high throughput in heavy or uneven windrows.
Reliable Knotters & Twine Capacity
Standard knotter fans minimize debris buildup, while large twine boxes hold 10–12 balls for more time in the field and less downtime.
