2026 MASSEY FERGUSON 1842S

MASSEY FERGUSON 1842S — 1800 SERIES SMALL SQUARE BALERS BOTTOM LINE: YOU’LL JUST GET BETTER HAY 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. Featuring the same efficient in-line design as our industry-leading large square balers, the Hesston by Massey Ferguson® 1800 series small square baler runs directly behind the tractor and straddles the windrow. This delivers benefits you just won’t find with conventional side-feed designs. HESSTON 1842S – HIGH CAPACITY MEETS HIGH DENSITY The big brother to the 1840, the 1842S is a heavy-duty machine sporting higher capacity and higher bale density while producing the same dimension bale, meeting the needs of customers requiring more production out of a small square baler. With larger and heavier duty components, including a 22% heavier flywheel, larger gear box, wider and 37% faster turning pickup, 83% wider throat opening, 76% increase in preforming chamber volume, 39% heavier plunger and 51% increase in plunger bearing surface area, the 1842S ensures smooth, efficient operation and a long life under high power and load conditions. KEY BENEFITS IN-LINE INNOVATION 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. CAPABILITY Regardless of your operational goals, our robustly-designed 1800 Series balers fit commercial and conventional applications. EASE OF USE The hydraulic bale density system in conjunction with the in-line design provides more uniformity in bale shape and weight as bailing conditions change. PERFORMANCE BIGGER BALE CHAMBER Our OptiForm™ bale chamber for the 1840 has been extended by 18 inches to ensure consistent bale shape and density in all conditions. BETTER PERFORMANCE THROUGH PRE-COMPRESSION Our pre-compression chamber starts building density before making a bale flake to reduce plunger load, lower HP requirements and increase baling capacity. PICK-UP PERFORMANCE Four rows of pick-up teeth improve crop feeding performance, particularly in heavy windrows and uneven crops. PRODUCTIVITY IN-LINE ALL THE TIME Because field and road positions are one and the same, you save time when you’re on the move. SET IT AND FORGET IT A hydraulic density system enables the baler to maintain bale weight and dimensions even as hay moisture conditions change throughout the day. TAKE THE PLUNGE Industry-leading strokes per minute maximizes productivity by increasing bales per hour, getting you in and out of the field faster.
