2023 Massey Ferguson RB Series 4180V

The ultra-efficient Massey Ferguson® RB 4100 Series round baler is built to handle everything your operation demands. Ideally suited for dairy farms or cow/calf operations that need a rugged design to stand up to rigorous baling schedules. The innovative performance features all add up to faster production and the highest quality forage possible.

Features may include:

Two sets of XtraCut™ hydraulically operated knife banks can be controlled or disengaged from the tractor cab. Select zero, eight, nine or all 17 knives to attain forage cuts as small as 2.65 inches in length.

Mechanically conveying net from the net drive rollers to the bale at the beginning of the net tie process optimizes performance in all conditions. Front-mounted mesh system provides easy viewing. Easy Load System (ELS) uses a cradle to move the stored mesh roll into the operating position. Compatible with edge-to-edge or over-the-edge mesh wrap. Also has storage for two extra rolls of net (non-Protec).

The RB Series features five tine bars and teeth spaced just 2.5 inches apart, allowing for a far more complete capture of crop on the field. A crop press roller is positioned in front of the pickup to enhance crop feeding into the chamber. The tailgate floats down as the bale is being formed to optimize the feed angle off of the rotor as the bale gets larger. This in conjunction with the Constant Pressure System (CPS) ensures consistent bale shape and density.

Performance

The HydroFlex Drop Floor features heavy mechanical springs that allow the knife bed to float open slightly when an obstruction occurs. If the rotor is plugged, the operator can hydraulically drop the floor from the tractor cab to clear the plug.

Due to the additional space created through the absence of a cam track, five tine bars are now fitted to the pickup. With the tines spaced just 2.5 inches apart, you get an even better and cleaner crop intake.

When looking at the RB Series pickup, you’ll notice offset tines on the ends. This allows the pickup to continually and consistently feed the crop flow augers, giving you square, shouldered bales.

The tine is longer, thicker and more flexible for increased lifespan. Improved tine fixation also helps prevent tine breakage, because the tension within the material is more evenly spread.

The angle of the tine has been adjusted to ensure the cleanest possible crop pickup under all crop and soil conditions.

The first stage of HydroFlex™ Control allows movement of the front part of the feed chamber floor and will automatically prevent up to 80% of potential blockages to avoid unnecessary downtime.

Should a major blockage occur, stage two of HydroFlex Control is activated by the operator and is cleared by lowering the rear of the feed table floor hydraulically from the cab, allowing for material to easily pass through.

Productivity

The pickup design maximizes efficiency of crop flow from the windrow into the rotor without hesitation into the bale chamber for best-in-class capacity and uniform bales every time.

The constant pressure system ensures an equally dense bale throughout, and four continuous belts provide maximum traction while the bale forms, creating the chamber.
