Fixed Baler Knife 700723945 All Steel Stationary Blade Fits MF2270XD & Challenger LB34BXD Baler

The fixed baler knife 700723945 in all steel grade is the stationary blade mounted in the bale chamber that the plunger knives cut against. It provides the reference edge for the shear line, and because it is a solid steel section rather than a layered blade, its wear behaviour is predictable and its edge can be relied on to stay flat across the full cutting width.

For mixed farms running moderate bale densities, the all steel grade offers the best balance of cost and service life, while still being hard enough to shear hay and straw cleanly. It is fitted as part of a full shear line renewal with the plunger knives so that clearance is set once and both cutting faces wear together.

• Solid all steel section with a hardened, ground cutting edge for clean shearing of hay and straw.
• Straight, rigid body maintains contact with the plunger knives without flexing under impact.
• Edge angle and position matched to the AGCO specification, keeping factory shear clearance.
• Original hole pattern for straightforward installation with standard mounting hardware.
• Cost effective grade for moderate density baling where maximum edge life is not the priority.
• Coated against corrosion for storage and sea freight in humid conditions.

Used on Massey Ferguson MF 2170, MF 2170XD, MF 2270, MF 2270XD and MF 2290 balers and on Challenger LB34BXD, 2270XD, CH LB44B and CH LB34B models. It is the usual choice for mixed farms and smaller contractors, while high volume straw operations typically move to the alloy grade of the same part number.

Knives are edge protected and boxed with the grade marked on the label to prevent confusion with the alloy version, then palletised for export. Mixed orders with plunger knives and mounting hardware are available so the entire shear line ships in one consolidated consignment.

Please specify the standard or alloy grade when ordering, as both share the AGCO number 700723945. We can supply matched sets of fixed and plunger knives and advise which grade suits your baling programme.
