Shift harvesting into high gear. - Massey Ferguson

Your choices abound with Massey Ferguson.
Only Massey Ferguson has you covered with more windrower and swather models
than anyone in the industry… not to mention a wide choice of headers for hay, grain,
oilseed crops or a combination of crops. Your selections begin with two different
tractor lines – the Hesston 9005 Series, which feature a deluxe cab and the option of a
disc header with the Hesston 9635, or the 9000 Series with a smaller cab and an economical
price that appeals to farmers who only use a swather once a year during small
grain harvest. Then, add your choice of disc, sickle or draper headers – depending on
the tractor model and header compatibility – to match your crop and harvest program.
With optional quick couplers standard on some models, no other headers on the
market can be interchanged or attached as quickly. Our “smart” hydraulic system
allows the operator to change headers by simply attaching the unit and connecting the
electrical wiring harness. The tractor “senses” which header is attached and automatically
adjusts hydraulic flow to match the header type (i.e. a draper header runs slower
than a disc header). Quick couplers on the hydraulic system and 3-point hitch style ball
and socket header linkage (or the appropriate adapter kit) also help speed hook-up and
improve performance… no matter which header you ultimately choose.
Variable conditions call for an adaptable machine
Travel the U.S. and Canada and you’ll find a lot of diversity in the way a windrower
or swather is used. That’s why Hesston 9000 and 9005 Series windrowers by Massey
Ferguson are designed to be easily customized to your operation. Start with a choice
of turf or bar tread tire options on all models.
Your ground-engaging options on the 9435, 9430 and 9220 also include your choice of
an adjustable walking beam axle or a fixed rear axle with formed casters. The latter is
particularly valuable in grain swathing applications where mud buildup can be a problem.
For larger hay windrows that match the capacity of big balers and high-capacity
forage harvesters, add the double windrow attachment to the 9435 or 9635 or the
windrow tripler kit on the 9635. There’s even an offset tailwheel kit available to
reposition the right tailwheel behind the axle when building double windrows.
