    The Hesston legacy of haying innovation continues with the 2900 Series. Industry leading advances include simple ground level mesh loading , Auto-cycle baler options, and a rubber torsion suspension axle - all designed to ensure quality bales, increased productivity and longer service life.

    • More

      Auto-Cycle

      Onboard hydraulics allow the baler to open and close the tailgate, extend and retract the bale kicker, and operate the main drive clutch with no operator intervention.

    • More

      Torsion Suspended Axle

      This feature allows for higher field and road speeds as well as a smooth pick-up performance leaving less hay in the field.

    • More

      Monitor your progress

      The ISO-compliant C1000 Monitor gives you real-time, advanced monitoring and baler control

    • More

      Go wide

      With the widest standard pick-up in the industry and 128 curved tip tines, the 2900 Series tackles wide windrows with ease, while maximizing leaf retention and leaving less crop in the field.

    • More

      Quad Cylinder System

      The only advanced hydraulic system of its kind, the Quad Cylinders System (QCS) density system provides absolute control over belt and bale tension to produce dense square shouldered uniform bales, bale after bale. Greater bale density leads to fewer bales in the field reducing stacking, transport and storage time to maximize your profits.
