Hello all,

Would anyone have the model numbers cross referenced for the inline small sqare balers. Agco, Hesston, New Idea, MF, Case. I'm looking for a used one and it seems the same Hesston baler was put under all these brands. I'll start:

MF1835/Hesston????/AGCO????/New Idea????/Case ????/Challenger????
MF1838/Hesston????/AGCO????/New Idea????/Case ????/Challenger????
MF1840/Hesston????/AGCO????/New Idea????/Case ????/Challenger????

Many Thanks

Steve

Truthfully, hesston was a company that started in hesston kansas and became well known for its haying equipment. The company stood on its own and produced well known and very good equipment. Now agco has gotten in the middle of it and things are going to "h___ in a hand basket" for the employees and the equipment. ( nothing new for agco they've run Massey ferguson into the ground) I seen a square baler on a dealers lot in fall city Nebraska and they wanted 27,000 dollars for it. I looked it over. It was not near the quality hesston is known for and I would not have taken it game if you gave it to me. It was an inline baler and I'm not a fan of inline balers. Don't remember the model number, but I think a agco dealer could help you figure out what interchanges.
