"A patent-pending trailing design with caster wheels"

A patent-pending label means an inventor has filed a patent application that is under review but not yet approved, so legal protection is not yet granted. For investors it signals a possible future exclusive right that could protect a product or process and boost competitive value, but it also carries uncertainty because the patent may be modified, limited, or denied—think of it as reserving a spot in line, not a guaranteed prize.

New system helps commercial hay producers achieve better efficiency by reducing bale collection passes by up to 50%.

DULUTH, Ga., Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AGCO (NYSE: AGCO) showcased a new hydraulic singulation chute for the Massey Ferguson^® SB.1436DB small square baler during the 2026 Farm Progress Show. By placing two bales into a single straight row, the new chute helps commercial hay producers substantially reduce collection passes versus a double-wide chute that is also available for the MFSB.1436DB baler, saving time, fuel and labor during critical harvest windows.

Massey Ferguson’s new hydraulic singulation chute for the MF SB.1436DB small square baler places two bales into a single straight row, helping commercial hay producers reduce collection passes. The system is designed to save time, fuel and labor during critical harvest windows while improving efficiency from baling through bale collection.

"The MF SB.1436DB changed what producers can expect from a small square baler by bringing greater capacity and efficiency to the field," said Matt LeCroy, Senior Marketing Manager – Hay and Forage, Massey Ferguson, North America. "With the new singulation chute, we're taking that innovation a step further and looking at the entire process, from making a consistent bale to getting it out of the field efficiently."

With the ability to produce two 14-by-18-inch bales at a time, the MF SB.1436DB already delivers exceptional productivity for commercial hay producers. The new chute carries that efficiency through the next stage of the job, helping farmers achieve better productivity from baling through bale collection without additional passes.

As two bales leave the chamber, the hydraulic system propels one bale forward followed by the second, positioning them into a single row for collection. Adjustable paddles allow the system to accommodate different bale lengths and control when each side advances its bale.

The system connects to a hydraulic pump on the MF SB.1436DB and can be run with only one additional hydraulic hose from the tractor to raise and lower the chute. A patent-pending trailing design with caster wheels and suspension allows the chute to follow the baler and float over changing field terrain. For transport, operators can hydraulically raise and lock the chute into position.

Serviceability was also built into the design. Raising and locking the chute provides access for maintenance underneath, while spliced conveyor belts add additional operator convenience.

For more than 75 years, Massey Ferguson has developed straightforward, dependable hay equipment around the needs of producers in the field. The new singulation chute continues that legacy with a practical solution designed to make the entire baling process more efficient.
