Massey Ferguson Magnetic Switch Sensor
The magnetic switch sensor detects movement and position at multiple locations throughout the baler, working in conjunction with the magnet actuator to provide positional feedback to the baler’s monitoring and control system. Sensor failure at any monitored location triggers warnings or disables dependent functions — accurate diagnosis of the failed sensor position is essential before replacement, as symptoms can be similar across multiple sensor locations.
When replacing, check the magnet actuator (700710211) for correct alignment and condition — a misaligned or weakened actuator magnet is a common cause of intermittent sensor signals that can be misdiagnosed as sensor failure. Confirm the sensor gap against manufacturer specification at installation, as incorrect positioning relative to the actuator will produce unreliable switching regardless of sensor condition.
