Massey Ferguson 8S Series Tractor: New to World Ag Expo! The The 8S Series tractor opens a new era for Massey Ferguson’s storied brand and World Ag Expo attendees will be the first on the West Coast to see it! The 8S project began from a blank page and built a complete farming solution based on an in-depth “Voice of the Customer” study, which included one-on-one interviews with operators around the globe. The result is a revolutionary and powerful tractor with a spacious cab, less noise and vibration, and better visibility for more productive operations.

Hesston WR Series Windrower by Massey Ferguson: Debuting at World Ag Expo! Hesston’s hay and foraging solutions have long been the equipment of choice for farmers across the United States and attendees will be the first to see the new WR Series self-propelled windrower. Larger fuel capacity and hydraulic efficiencies means the new WR Series offers more uptime, more power, and more comfort to maximize hay production and quality. The WR Series is a smarter, more powerful way to better hay.

Hesston Balers and Rakes: Hesston by Massey Ferguson has produced the industry’s leading balers and rakes for generations, and both will be on-hand for up-close inspection. Available on the lot will be Hesston’s 2200 Series large square baler, 1800 Series small square baler, and RK Series rotary rakes.
