The Massey Ferguson 2234 XD(successor to MF 2270XD) is the Extra Density version of the industry-standard 3×4 baler, packing up to 20% more material into each 900 x 1200 mm (3' x 4') bale. Designed for operations prioritizing transport efficiency, this heavy-duty machine reduces haulage costs and field clearance time through denser, heavier bales.
Requiring 200 Hp / 149 kW for packer operations, the 2234 XD features a massive 990mm flywheel (550 kg)—91% heavier than the standard model. The heavy-duty XD gearbox, reinforced chassis, and OptiForm bale chamber with enlarged density cylinders handle the extreme forces needed for maximum compression.
Built for professional contractors and large-scale operations, the 2234 XD delivers fewer bales per field, reduced twine usage, and optimized transport efficiency. Standard heavy-duty tandem axle makes this the ultimate choice for maximizing density and minimizing transport costs.

The MF LB 2234 XD is widely used across commercial farming and contracting operations requiring maximum density bales, including:
Designed specifically for discerning professional contractors and large-scale operators, the 2234 XD produces 15-20% more material per bale compared to the standard 2234.
This substantial increase in bale density significantly reduces transport costs, storage requirements, and handling time - critical factors for operations moving large volumes over distance.
The MF LB 2234 XD maintains exceptional reliability through accessible service points and the standard AutoLube system, despite its heavy-duty construction.
You'll need a minimum of 200 hp for standard packer operation, or 260 hp if running the optional cutter configuration. Most 200-260 hp tractors work well with this baler.
Both models produce the same 3x4 bale size, but the LB2234XD creates up to 20% denser bales than the standard LB2234. The XD features a more robust, reinforced design to handle the higher loads associated with denser bales.
Yes, the MF LB 2234XD handles haylage and wrapped silage effectively. The optional ProCut rotor system provides excellent chop length control for improved feed quality.
The 3×4 format offers the perfect balance between capacity and handling. It maximizes field productivity and transport efficiency while remaining manageable with standard equipment. It's become the global industry standard for commercial operations.
Yes, the MF LB2234XD is one of the most popular balers among contractors. It produces a highly sought-after 3x4 bale size at maximum density, allowing for efficient transport and storage. Its high efficiency and robust construction make it an ideal choice for demanding contract baling operations.
Standard features include 6 double-knot knotters, AutoLube lubrication (26 points), powerful knotter blower, heavy-duty roller bale chute, Massey Ferguson TIM (Tractor Implement Management) compatibility, electronic bale length control, full LED lighting package, and Fieldstar 5 terminal with BaleCreate software.
