£67,000 + VAT
Stock Number: 897
Year: 2020
The Massey Ferguson 2290 is a large square baler built for large-scale operations requiring maximum capacity and productivity. It produces 1.2m × 1.3m (4x4) bales, the biggest bale format in the MF 2200 lineup.
Serving as the successor to the MF 2190 and now superseded by the MF LB2244, the 2290 features the OptiForm bale chamber with 22% longer density doors for superior compression.
This powerhouse baler excels in high-volume straw, hay, and miscanthus operations where fewer bales and maximum transport efficiency are essential priorities.

See how the MF 2290 compares to other Massey Ferguson balers
The 2290 is used across a wide range of industrial-scale environments, including:
The 1.2m × 1.3m bale format produced by the MF 2290 significantly reduces the number of bales per field compared to smaller formats, delivering substantial savings in field clearance time, handling labour, and transport costs.
Each bale contains considerably more material, meaning fewer bales to move, stack, and haul. The larger bale dimensions also optimize trailer and container loading, particularly valuable for biomass operations and export markets where transport efficiency directly impacts profitability.
Designed for straightforward maintenance, the MF 2290 features accessible service points throughout and the AutoLube system providing automatic lubrication to 24 knotter points as standard.
The 2290 produces 1,200 × 1,300 mm (47" × 51") bales, commonly known as 4×4 bales, with adjustable lengths up to 2.74 metres. These "half-tonne" bales maximise transport efficiency.
Minimum 200 hp for packer-only operations, 250 hp when running with the ProCut cutter system.
The 2290 produces significantly larger bales (4×4 vs 3×4), reducing handling by approximately 30%. It uses a slower plunger speed (33 vs 47 strokes/min) but longer stroke for heavy crops.
The MF 2290 is ideal when maximum capacity and minimum bale count are priorities. It significantly reduces field clearance time, handling labour, and transport costs by producing fewer, larger bales.
This makes it perfect for large-scale straw operations, biomass production, and extensive hay acreage where efficiency and productivity matter most.
The MF 2290 excels at baling straw, hay, and miscanthus. It is not suitable for silage or haylage production, focusing instead on dry crop applications where its high capacity and larger bale format deliver maximum efficiency and value.
