The wide range of congurations

allow the operator to select

precisely the right bale size for

individual transport and storage

facilities – whatever the crop.

Five models –

the choice is yours

These variable chamber balers

use a combination of rollers

and belts to produce bales of

up to 2.0m in diameter. A range

of high specication options

include a double rake feeder, rotor

feeder or Supercut for enhanced

performance in all crop types,

ensuring that they will appeal to

a broad spectrum from mixed

farmers to large contractors.

MF 160 Series balers are very

simple to operate, with all

functions controlled from the in-

cab Alpha bale monitor or Light

bale monitor– the latest technology

designed to take the stress away

from harvest-time.

The Self-Cleaning Roller System

works particularly well in silage,

eliminating the need for a special

silage kit.

Horsepower requirement is 80hp,

with 540 PTO revs/min. There is

one single-acting and one double-

acting spool valve requirement.

With the MF 160 range of balers,

baling your crop couldn’t be more

simple and stress-free.

Technology at your ngertips

On ‘V’ and ‘VS’ models the Alpha

bale monitor puts the operator in

complete control, providing the

ability to make adjustments to

all the important functions and

displaying the most signicant

parameters.

Bale size, density and shape,

soft core adjustments, net and

twine tying – all are controlled

from this simple-to-use interface.

When the cutter is tted, knife

position can be set in, out or for

cleaning or removal. In the event

of a blockage, this can also be

reversed without leaving the

driver’s seat.

A constant indication of bale shape

allows the operator to make minor

adjustments to driving technique

to ensure perfectly shaped bales

every time, while bale count

information enables the operator

to maintain daily totals or tallies for

individual customers.

MF 167 VS.

The bafe plate with hexagonal

roller boosts baler performance

by coping with big swaths at

high speeds, while the cam track

is double-sided for long life and

reliability. The pickup is also

suspended, to enable ground

contours to be followed.

Up to 2.2m wide, the pickup has

ve rows of cranked tines to ensure

fewer losses, even when operating

at higher speeds or when baling a

small crop. In addition, it allows a

better crop in-take and a smooth,

even ow from pickup to rotor.

(V and VS models).

Gentle,

efcient pickup

A low-prole pick-up has been developed to handle the bulkiest

swaths and feed them gently into the bales.

01 Pickup. 02 Double rake feeder.

MF 160 Series –

variable chamber

capability at its best

MF 160 balers feature ve rigid, wide prole belts, designed to

provide the best contact on the bale while it’s in the chamber,

ensuring smooth rotation with minimum crop loss, even in dry

conditions.

The belt surface is specially

designed to turn the bale gently,

with minimal slippage on the drive

rollers. In addition to the belts,

three rollers maintain constant

contact with the bale, helping to

support its weight and to ensure

quick turning of the bale and

faster bale starting. The patented

roller/scraper system minimises

downtime in difcult conditions.

Feeder and Cutter options

Depending on the model, there

is either a double rake feeder or

a rotary feeder (V-form), while

the cutter unit is specied with a

Supercut 14-knife option with a

cab-operated, electro-hydraulic

reverser to help clear blockages

quickly and easily.

Triple-density bales

The same bale can be formed with

three different densities, selected

by the operator in the cab. The

ability to adjust bale density within

the same bale give total control

of operations, allowing selection

of the best densities for fodder

preservation, for example, or

maximising bale weight when

baling straw.

Well-designed press chamber

A combination of rollers and belts,

together with a small chamber at

the bale start, ensures an efcient

bale start with every crop and in

every condition. Excellent bale

quality is also assured when using

the in-cab soft core adjustment

control.

Two hydraulic cylinders, working

in tandem with the rollers and

belts, are capable of achieving

one of the highest bale densities

of any baler on the market.

The Self-Cleaning Roller System

(SCRS) maintains the baler

operating at optimum performance

in all crop types, including short

cut silage (no special silage kit

required). The belts are always kept

clean, making for easy,

safe running.

Bale density

Bale density is set by the Alpha

bale monitor situated within the

cab; it really is that simple. You

choose the depth and consistency

of bale, allowing you to switch

between hay, straw and silage

and ultimately optimising crop

preservation or maximum bale

density and weight, depending on

the job in hand.

Top quality features you

can’t be without

Twine or net wrap?

MF 160 Series balers offer the

choice of net wrap, twine tie or

the exibility of both systems. The

net intake is 1.3m wide allowing

the use of extra wide net, and

the positive feed of the net wrap

ensures coverage to the edge of

the bale every time.

Net storage locations are easily

accessible at the front of the baler,

and a spare roll of net can be stored

above the one being used.

The fast and efcient twine binding

system is designed in such a

way as to allow use with more

economical twine. It binds at the

edges of the bale, crossing in the

middle at the end of the cycle.

Being situated at the front of the

baler, both systems are simple to

control without the operator having

to leave the cab. Changing from

net to twine is effected by simply

touching a button on the monitor.

Investment in the future

Purchasing any Massey Ferguson

harvesting product, whether it’s

a baler or a combine harvester,

is a sound investment for your

business. As you would expect, a

wide range of innovative features

and technological advancements,

both standard and optional, are

always available. Consistently

high levels of support come from

AGCO’s world-class parts and

service division too!

Boost baling performance

A number of optional features can

be tted to MF 160 Series baler to

meet individual requirements and

further enhance performance.

• Short straw kit – available on

The MF 167V ‘Farmer’

large round baler

Simple-to-use, highly efcient and with plenty of capacity, the

‘Farmer’ variable chamber baler is excellent value for money and

perfect for those who use their baler infrequently and for light hay

and straw work.

The system is controlled by the

bale monitor and provides ve

alternative arm speeds for applying

varying quantities of twine.

Variable chamber

The variable chamber on the

MF 167 VF has long belts and

the linear crop ow ensures

smooth, consistent feed into the

bale chamber promoting

high output.

Belts

The path of the bale forming

belts in the MF 167 Farmer is

different to the standard machine

and an alternative belt tensioner

conguration is used. This design

provides a larger pre-chamber size

for easier bale starting and also

maintains the stability of the belts

during the initial stages of bale

formation. The belts have a slightly

longer length; however, the number

of belts remains the same at ve.

Belt tension is provided by a single

hydraulic cylinder and tension

spring.

Netwrap and twine

The net is fed into the bale

chamber via a rotating arm

operated by an electric motor and

is controlled by the bale monitor.

The monitor also controls the

number of wraps of net applied

to the bale. This efcient unit

binds the bale together, keeping

a perfect shape for easy

transportation.

A double twine unit is tted

utilising a pair of oscillating arms

operated by an electric motor.

You need a highly efcient yet

simple-to-use machine with low

running costs and maximum

throughput. When time is

everything, we guarantee you’ll get

it right rst time with a

Massey Ferguson V Farmer – trust

the Farmer to get the job done.

This model differs slightly in

specication from the others in

the range. The feeding augers and

double rake feeder are integrated

into the pick-up, for example.

Double rake feeder

The double rake feeder is unique

to the MF 167 V Farmer model.

The two rows of tines, mounted

on bearings, penetrate the crop

for positive movement into the

chamber.

The design of the double rake

feeder ensures constant ow of

crop, less vibration, lower power

consumption all without loss of

performance.

The MF 167 VF is perfect for

delicate or valuable crops where

the leaves need to be protected.
