Big Bale Company South Ltd supplies the full range of Massey Ferguson 2200 Series large square balers, designed for high-capacity baling of hay, straw, and silage.
Built on a legacy of performance and reliability, these balers combine advanced technology with rugged durability to deliver consistently dense, well-shaped bales.
Whether for commercial farming or contract baling, the 2200 Series provides efficiency, ease of operation, and industry-leading bale quality.
Our lineup includes the versatile MF 2233, the high-density MF 2234, the efficient MF 2224, the extra-density MF 2234 XD, and the large-capacity MF 2244, ensuring the right machine for every operation.
We also stock a wide range of quality used balers from previous generations, offering reliable performance at an excellent value.
Each model in the 2200 Series features high plunger speeds, an extra row of pickup tines for increased intake, and a fully integrated hydraulic system for density control and knotter blowers.
Standard equipment includes electronic bale length control, air brakes, and redesigned axles to accommodate a variety of tyre sizes for optimal field performance.
Additionally, all balers come equipped with a selectable bale ejector, roller chute, hydraulic knotter blower, and automatic lubrication for both knotters and drive chains—ensuring smooth operation and reduced maintenance.
With an extended bale chamber on select models for improved bale shape and density, the 2200 Series is engineered to meet the demands of modern high-output baling.
Versatile Baling for Contractors
The MF LB 2233 produces bales measuring 0.80 meters wide by 0.90 meters high, making it a versatile choice for baling silage, hay, and straw.
Its automatic density control, managed via an in-cab computer, ensures consistent bale quality. This model is a favourite among contractors due to its efficiency in handling various crops.
Available with an optional crop cutter and in single or tandem axle configurations, the MF 2233 is built for performance in demanding baling operations.
Ideal for Efficient Transport
The MF LB 2224 and MF LB 2234 are designed to produce dense, well-formed bales that are easy to handle and transport.
The MF 2224 produces bales measuring 1.20 meters wide by 0.70 meters high, while the MF 2234 creates bales of 1.20 meters wide by 0.90 meters high.
Their larger bale size improves efficiency for large-scale operations by reducing handling time and optimising transport loads. These models are ideal for farmers and contractors who require high-capacity baling with superior bale uniformity.
Extra Density for Maximum Efficiency
The MF LB 2234 XD is engineered for high-density baling, producing 1.20 x 0.90-meter bales with up to 20% more weight than standard bales.
Its reinforced gearbox, increased flywheel mass, larger density cylinders, and extended bale chamber ensure tighter, heavier bales.
These features reduce transport costs by maximising the weight per load, making the MF 2234 XD a top choice for commercial hay and straw producers looking for increased efficiency and profitability.
Large Bales for Industrial Applications
The MF LB 2244 produces high-capacity 1.20 x 1.27-meter bales, often referred to as "half tonne" bales.
This model is designed for industrial-scale applications, where fewer, larger bales can significantly reduce handling time and storage requirements.
Its extended bale chamber improves bale shape and density, making it a powerful solution for high-output operations that demand maximum efficiency.
