Agco to introduce new round baler series

The U.S. Farm Progress show held at the end of August has become a key venue used by North American manufacturers to unveil new machines.

This year will be no exception.

In mid-August, Agco gave an early preview of one new product that will make its public debut at the show, the Massey Ferguson 1 Series round balers.

The variable-chamber 1 Series models for baling dry hay will be built in Agco’s haying equipment facility in Hesston, Kansas. Like the long line of haying equipment machines built there over the decades, it will have the heritage Hesston brand name familiar to long-time livestock and forage producers on its flanks.
