2024 Massey Ferguson RB Protec Series 4160V PROTEC

Variable Chamber Baler Wrapper Combination - ProTec

Massey Ferguson RB 4160V Protec (Protection baler & Professional Technology) combines all benefits of our variable chamber baler with the addition of an integrated wrapper device for fast and effective baling and wrapping on the go.

Features may include:

High Performance wrapping

The new combination unit has a lower crop elevation angle, reducing the overall baler height. This feature improves stability, allowing safer and faster hillside operation. It also reduces back pressure in the feeding area, streamlining crop flow and minimising the risk of blockages.

Baler Wrapper Combination

Our new MF RB 4160V Protec baler combines all benefits of our variable chamber baler with the addition of an integrated, specially designed wrapper device for fast and effective baling and wrapping on the go.

Camless Design

The baler features a 2.25m pick-up with a camless design offering higher working speed, reduced maintenance and reduced noise levels.

XtraCut

The Xtracut cutter is offered with 17 knives, providing optimum cutting performance in all conditions.

Constant Pressure System (CPS)

The Constant Pressure System (CPS) combines spring and hydraulic actions and ensures constant pressure during bale formation.

Performance

XTRACUT

Designed for optimum performance, Massey Ferguson Xtracut can be equipped with 13, 17 or 25 knives. Cutter units are fitted with the longest knives on the market, making sure that no material will pass through uncut.

XTRACUT KNIFE BANKS

Xtracut 17 and 25 feature two sets of hydraulically operated knife banks with separate control from the cab depending on customer requirements. The operator can select: a single knife bank, both knife banks or disengagement of all knives.

HIGHER BALE COMPACTION

The constant pressure system ensures an equally dense bale throughout, and four continuous belts provide maximum traction while the bale forms, creating the chamber.

CPS HYDRAULIC PRESSURE

Depending on the baler specification, the maximum hydraulic system pressure in the bale tensioning arms can reach 140 or 180Bar.

CPS RESULTS

The end-result is uniform round bales with a firm and consistent shape, making them easy to handle and store with excellent crop conservation.

Efficiency

MAXIMUM THROUGHPUT

The HydroFlex Drop Floor features heavy mechanical springs that allow the knife bed to float open slightly when an obstruction occurs. If the rotor is plugged, the operator can hydraulically drop the floor from the tractor cab to clear the plug.

HYDROFLEX CONTROL - STAGE 1

The first stage of HydroFlex™ Control allows movement of the front part of the feed chamber floor and will automatically prevent up to 80% of potential blockages to avoid unnecessary downtime.

HYDROFLEX CONTROL – STAGE 2

Should a major blockage occur, stage two of HydroFlex Control is activated by the operator and is cleared by lowering the rear of the feed table floor hydraulically from the cab, allowing for material to easily pass through.

PROTEC CONTROL PANEL

An external control panel on the back of the baler allows control of the tailgate, wrapping ring and table and the film clamps for easy film roll change, maintenance or cleaning.

PROTEC TRANSPORT MODE

In transport mode the wrapper ring is folded forwards, reducing the overall machine length to just 5.9m for safer transport and improved manoeuvrability.
