‘Simple design for
maximum output’

The MF 1800 Series is a range of three ‘centre-line’ small
rectangular balers with pick-up widths of 1.5 to 2.0 m. The wide
pickup is available on either a ‘standard’ duty model (the MF 1837)
or a ‘heavy duty’ model (the MF 1839), which is ideal for high usage
or contracting. All three models produce bales that are the right

size for easy handling or feeding, and the right density for efcient

storage and transport. They have a low power requirement and the

low prole pick-up ensures good feeding without damage in

all crops.

Advanced design, high output

The MF 1800 Series is based,
uniquely, on a ‘centre-line’ design

in which the crop ows through

the baler in a straight line. This
gives a host of advantages when
compared with conventional
baler design.

Easy on the road, easy in

the eld

You’ll notice the rst advantage
before reaching the eld. Even

though the MF 1837 and MF 1839
feature a wide pick-up, transport
width is exceptionally narrow
because of the in-line design. And

when you get to the eld, there is

no need to manhandle the baler
from a ‘transport’ position to a
‘work’ position – you just lower the
pick-up and start baling.

Wide, centre-mounted pickup

The wide pick-up - 1.5 metres on
the MF 1835 and 2.0 metres on
the MF 1837 and 1839 - features a

small diameter, ‘low-prole’ design

with closely spaced tines ensuring
that windrows are picked up
cleanly with minimal disturbance

and leaf loss. Gauge wheels, tted

as standard on all models, further
help the pick-up to follow uneven

ground contours, avoiding pick-up
tine damage. The MF 1839 has
a four tine bar pick-up for higher
throughput.

As soon as the crop enters the
pick-up, centring augers move
it into the pre-forming chamber

opening. Stuffer ngers then feed

it in a straight line, with minimum
leaf loss and disturbance, into the
pre-forming chamber where it is
pre-compressed into a slice before
entering the bale chamber.

Less work for the plunger

The pre-formed ake is then

pushed into the bale chamber
where the plunger further
compresses it into the bale. As

the stuffer ngers have already
separated the ake, the (bottom

mounted) knife only has to trim
the pre-formed slice. This reduces
plunger load, improves bale
density and shape...and reduces
stress on components giving
improved baler durability.

Short stroke, high speed plunger

The pre-formed slice concept
enables the baler to operate with a

shorter plunger stroke, signicantly

reducing plunger bearing wear.

The shorter plunger stroke also
means that plunger speed can be
increased, giving greater capacity
and higher productivity.

Rugged knotter design

The knotters are designed and
built to operate reliably season
after season, with minimum fuss
or maintenance, whether using
plastic or sisal twine.

Power requirements

The centre line design, with its

more efcient crop handling, helps

to keep tractor power requirement
as low as possible, giving a
minimum PTO power requirement
of only 30 hp on the MF 1835 and
35 hp on the MF 1837 and 1839.

Optional extras

A hydraulic pick-up •

lift is available for fast eld

change and avoiding
obstacles.

• A hydraulic bale tensioner can be
specied to give exibility on bale

consistency and density.

• A drawbar is available for

attaching bale sledges easily and
in the right place.
