The 658 is all New Holland. I don't think anything New Holland has ever been built by Hesston . Hesston built alot of stuff for CASEIH back in the day like the 85xx balers and the 84xx windrowers...but I don't think Hesston and New Holland ever had a friends with benefits relationship.
I think it was before Hesston became confused with AGCO brands and New Holland and caseih hooked up. Since Hesston has become agco red and challenger yellow , Case has become New Holland with silver wheels.
Hope this timeline helps :)
Hesston did build balers for New Holland. They were labeled BB980's
(4'x4'
), and shipped out of the US. This was before the Case New Holland merger. They rolled right down the line with the 4910's, and the 8590 Case branded balers.
