Earlier this year, AGCO rolled out SimplEbale from its Massey Ferguson brand at World Ag Expo.
SimplEbale is an electronic aftermarket monitoring and control system that retrofits onto new and existing Massey Ferguson Hesston 1800 Series Small Square Balers.
Balers upgraded with SimplEbale will deliver improved bale consistency, increased operational efficiency, and higher reliability than non-equipped balers. The solution’s modular format allows farmers to select the options that best suit their operations with minimal modifications to existing machines. The kit includes sensors, components, and the harnessing needed to update the baler’s operating system.
The base package is compatible with select aftermarket moisture systems and consists of the user interface, electronic fan control, flake counter, bale length monitoring, and cab-based hydraulic pressure readout. Optional upgrades include an automatic knotter lubrication pump, bale scale, LED lighting, and hydraulic density control.
“SimplEbale delivers better hay with less work,” said Dane Mosel, tactical marketing manager for Massey Ferguson North America. “By retrofitting onto new and existing 1800 Series small square balers, SimplEbale is an affordable solution that demonstrates AGCO’s and Massey Ferguson’s farmer-first commitment to our customers and their operations.”
SimplEbale will be released for limited commercial availability in 2024 and full commercial availability in 2025.
