Massey Ferguson 2250 Baler

The Massey Ferguson 2250 large square baler produces 0.8m x 0.9m (800 x 900mm) bales, commonly referred to as 3x3 bales.

Serving as the successor to the popular MF 2150 model, the MF 2250 requires only 150 HP (112 kW) minimum PTO power while delivering Hesston-built reliability and quality. Available in both packer and ProCut cutter configurations with optional single or tandem axle, this versatile baler excels at producing high-quality hay, haylage, straw, silage, and miscanthus for diverse farming operations.

The MF 2250 has now been superseded by the MF LB2233 in the latest Massey Ferguson lineup, but remains a proven and popular choice on the used machinery market with thousands of units operating worldwide.

MF 2250 Typical Applications

The MF 2250's versatile bale size and capabilities make it suitable for a broad range of farming and contracting operations.

  • Livestock farming for cattle, sheep, and horse operations
  • Agricultural contractors serving mixed farming clients
  • Dairy farms producing high-quality hay and haylage
  • Straw baling for bedding, compost, and biofuel markets
  • Export hay production with efficient transport dimensions

The 0.8m x 0.9m bale dimensions strike an optimal balance between commercial capacity and practical handling. These bales are large enough for professional farming operations while remaining manageable with standard loaders and telehandlers.

With the optional ProCut cutter featuring 17 knives, the MF 2250 offers 43.5mm or 87mm chop lengths for improved silage and haylage fermentation, making it especially valuable for dairy and intensive livestock operations.

The additional bale height provides better density for hay and straw operations, making it ideal for farms balancing quality output with manageable equipment size.

MF 2250 FAQ

You'll need a minimum of 150 hp for standard packer operation, or 180 hp if running the optional cutter configuration. Most 160-190 hp tractors work well with this baler.

The 2250 produces taller 800 × 900 mm bales compared to the 2240's 800 × 700 mm bales. Both share the same width and 4-knotter system, but the 2250 requires slightly more power (150 hp vs 140 hp) and offers greater bale capacity.

Yes, the MF 2250 is available with either a single axle (rated to 40 km/h) or an optional high-speed tandem steering axle (rated to 60 km/h depending on market legislation). The tandem axle features self-steering rear wheels for tight turning and independent leaf spring suspension for superior ride comfort during road transport.

The 2250 is popular with contractors serving mixed farms and smaller estates. Its balance of capacity, power requirements, and maneuverability makes it versatile for varied customer needs.

Standard features include 4 double-knot knotters, AutoLube lubrication, hydraulic knotter blower, compression spring floatation pickup, heavy-duty roller bale chute, and ISOBUS compatibility.

The 2250 produces narrower (800mm vs 1200mm) but taller (900mm vs 700mm) bales. The 2250 suits operations preferring square-format bales, while the 2260's wider format is better for export and transport efficiency.
