YOUR HESSTON’ TEAM
KEEPS YOU RUNNING.
With the right equipment and the right service.
The right equipment: the new 545 Round Baler. Its
beefed-up drive system and automatic features let you
bale the tough stuff, like silage and high-moisture hay,
with ease. And for normal dry hay, just let it roll. One
baler, three jobs. It’s the new heavy-duty 545 Silage
Baler at your Hesston dealer now.
