Ball Hitch 700193124 32mm Drawbar Coupling Fits Massey Ferguson MF2270 Square Baler Tractor Linkage

The ball hitch 700193124 is the drawbar coupling that joins a Massey Ferguson or Challenger large square baler to the tractor hitch. With a 32 mm ball socket as standard, it carries the full draft and tongue weight of a loaded baler plus the vertical loads that appear when the machine crosses headlands and uneven ground at working speed.

At just over twenty one kilograms the casting is substantial, and that mass is deliberate: a hitch that flexes will fret the mounting bolts, oval the pin holes and eventually develop play that shows up as baler surge and uneven bale length. This replacement unit restores a rigid connection and keeps the safety chain and parking stand mounting points in their original positions.

• Forged and machined body rated for the tongue and draft loads of a large square baler working at full capacity.
• 32 mm ball socket as standard, with a hardened retaining latch that cannot open under shock loading.
• Mounting flange and bolt pattern matched to the original AGCO hitch so no adapter plate is needed.
• Thick section casting resists the bending fatigue that causes hairline cracks on long road transports.
• Provision for the safety chain and stand mount retained exactly as on the factory part.
• Heavy duty anti corrosion coating protects the machined ball seat during storage and winter lay up.

This hitch is specified for Massey Ferguson MF 2270, MF 2270XD, MF 2250 and MF 2290 balers and for Challenger 2270XD and LB34BXD models. It is a common replacement item for contractors who swap balers between tractors, because repeated coupling and uncoupling wears the socket and latch far faster than field work alone. Fleet operators often keep one spare hitch on the shelf to avoid downtime during harvest.

Hitches are packed in wooden cases or heavy duty cartons depending on order quantity, with the machined socket protected by a plastic cap and the whole unit treated with rust preventive oil. Palletised consignments are strapped and shrink wrapped, and the gross weight is quoted on every packing list for freight planning.

Confirm the ball size required by your tractor before ordering, as 32 mm is supplied by default and other sizes can be quoted on request. We can also supply the mounting hardware and latch kit together with the hitch to complete the repair in one shipment.
