'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 efficient
storage and transport. They have a low power requirement and the
low profile 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 flows 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 field
You'll notice the first advantage
before reaching the field. 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 field, 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-profile' design
with closely spaced tines ensuring
that windrows are picked up
cleanly with minimal disturbance
and leaf loss. Gauge wheels, fitted
as standard on all models, further
help the pick-up to follow uneven
02
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 fingers 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 flake is then
pushed into the bale chamber
where the plunger further
compresses it into the bale. As
the stuffer fingers have already
separated the flake, 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, significantly
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 efficient 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 field
change and avoiding
obstacles.
• A hydraulic bale tensioner can be
specified to give flexibility on bale
consistency and density.
• A drawbar is available for
attaching bale sledges easily and
in the right place.
