Description

9YG-2.2 Round Baler — Towed-Type Hay Round Baler with Net Wrap & 2200 mm Pick-Up Width

The 9YG-2.2 Round Baler is a towed-type, roll-drum baling machine engineered for high-throughput forage harvesting. With a 1220 mm compression chamber diameter, an 18-roller pressing assembly, and a continuous screw feeding mechanism, it produces consistently dense round bales suited for hay, straw, and silage operations at scale.

Designed for tractors rated 110–150 kW, this hay round baler for sale ships ready to connect — no on-site modifications required. All drive shafts, bearings, clutches, chains, and electronic control components are sourced from internationally recognised brands to support long-term field reliability.

Key Features of the 9YG-2.2 Net Wrap Round Baler

  • Handheld Colour Touch Screen

    The operator panel pairs a colour touchscreen with a high-precision displacement sensor, allowing bale weight to be monitored and adjusted in real time — without leaving the tractor cab.

  • Dual Operating Modes — Auto & Manual

    Operators can switch between fully automatic and manual modes. All baling parameters are displayed on-screen throughout the cycle, reducing the learning curve for new operators and cutting per-bale cycle time.

  • High-Precision Net Wrap Sensor Control

    A dedicated sensor positions the net wrap count with tight repeatability, keeping material cost per bale predictable across a full day’s run. This is the core advantage of the net wrap round baler design versus twine systems — tighter bales, 10–15% less dry-matter loss in storage.

  • Fully Automatic Lubrication System

    The centralised automatic lubrication circuit delivers grease to all 18 roller bearings and chain-drive points on a timed schedule, extending chain service intervals and reducing field-side maintenance stops. Dry lube points use a centralised supply manifold — one top-up, full machine coverage.

  • Hydraulic Pick-Up Height Adjustment

    The 2200 mm spring-tooth pick-up head adjusts hydraulically from the tractor seat, providing ground-following float across uneven terrain and simplifying transport between paddocks. Field height is set in seconds, not minutes.

  • Globally Sourced Critical Components

    Drive shafts, bearings, clutches, chains, and the electronic control system are procured from established international-brand suppliers — not regional substitutes. Replacement parts are available through global distribution channels, protecting long-term uptime for buyers operating this round baler for sale in remote regions.

How Many Square Bales Equal One Round Bale?

This is one of the most-asked questions when farms are switching from a conventional square baler to a round baler. The answer depends on bale size, density, and crop type — but the table below gives reliable working numbers for average hay at approximately 17% moisture:

Round Bale DiameterApprox. Weight (hay)Equiv. Small Square Bales (18 kg)Equiv. 3-String Square Bales (36 kg)
Φ 1000 mm~350 kg~19~10
Φ 1220 mm (this model)~550–650 kg~30–36~15–18
Φ 1500 mm~800–900 kg~44–50~22–25

At its rated Φ 1220 mm compression diameter, the 9YG-2.2 produces bales weighing roughly 550–650 kg per round — equivalent to approximately 30–36 standard small square bales (18 kg each) or 15–18 large 3-string bales (36 kg each). Actual weight will vary with crop type, moisture, and operator density setting.

Round bales produced with a net wrap system (as used on this model) consistently out-perform twine-wrapped bales in storage — independent trials show 10–15% less dry-matter loss over a 6-month outdoor storage period, directly improving the feed value delivered per bale.

Suitable Crops & Application Scenarios

The 9YG-2.2 hay round baler handles a wide range of field materials without adjustment to the pick-up head:

Hay & Alfalfa

Spring-tooth pick-up at 2200 mm width collects windrows cleanly without ground-leaf loss.

Wheat & Rice Straw

The continuous screw feeder prevents blockages common with high-volume straw throughput.

Corn Stover

Roll-drum chamber handles coarse, bulky material at consistent density across all 18 roller components.

Pasture & Silage Grass

Net wrap seals high-moisture crops against spoilage — critical for silage-quality preservation.

Soybean & Oilseed Straw

Lightweight crop material benefits from the adjustable hydraulic pick-up height to minimise soil contamination.

Large-Scale Contract Operations

3800 kg machine weight and a robust 110–150 kW power range support all-day duty cycles across thousands of acres per season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What tractor size is needed for this round baler?

The 9YG-2.2 is matched to tractors with a PTO output of 110–150 kW (approximately 148–201 hp). Running below 110 kW under heavy-crop conditions risks underperforming bale density and increased strain on the feeder chain.

Q: Is this a net wrap round baler or twine baler?

It is a net wrap round baler. The automatic net wrapping system is standard on the 9YG-2.2. Net wrap covers approximately 99% of the bale surface versus ~75% for twine, producing a tighter bale with a more weather-resistant outer layer — making it the preferred choice for outdoor storage and silage applications.

Q: How many square bales does one round bale from this machine equal?

At the standard Φ 1220 mm compression diameter, one bale from this round baler typically weighs 550–650 kg of hay, which equals roughly 30–36 small square bales (18 kg) or 15–18 large square bales (36 kg). See the comparison table above for full details.

Q: How often does the automatic lubrication system need to be refilled?

The centralised grease reservoir services all 18 roller bearings and the full chain-drive circuit from one fill point. Under standard seasonal workload (8–10 hr/day), the system typically requires a top-up every 50–80 operating hours — compared to manual per-point greasing intervals of every 8–10 hours on conventional designs.

Q: Can this hay round baler handle high-moisture silage crops?

Yes. The roll-drum bale chamber and net wrap system are both compatible with high-moisture grass and silage material. The net wrap seals the outer layer effectively, slowing aerobic spoilage. For full silage preservation, wrapping with plastic stretch film immediately after baling is recommended — a standard downstream process when operating this hay round baler for sale in dairy and beef supply chains.

Q: What are the shipping dimensions and freight considerations?

The 9YG-2.2 measures 4100 × 2900 × 2400 mm and weighs 3800 kg. It ships as a single unit on a flatbed container (typically a 40 FR or 40 OT). Our export team handles documentation, phytosanitary certificates where required, and origin certificates — contact us for a CIF or FOB quote to your port.
