9YG-1.25 Cylindrical Baler for Corn Stalks, Hay & Silage

► Corn Stover Recovery

Hammer-claw pickup tears standing corn stalks directly from the field. No cutting, no raking, no second pass — bale densities of 180–200 kg/m³ make this ideal for biomass fuel and bedding markets.

► Alfalfa & Lucerne Hay

Spring-tooth pickup runs over windrowed lucerne with low leaf shatter — preserving the protein content that dairy and equine buyers pay a premium for.

► Cereal Straw

Wheat, oat, and barley straw bale cleanly. Auger + tine roller + drum feeder pushes bulky material into the chamber without bridging.

► Silage / Haylage

Bales at 115 kg/m³ low-end density hold their shape under the wrapper's stretch film — the best cylindrical baler for silage operations on mid-size and large farms.

► Rice Straw & Tropical Forage

2,240 mm pickup width and 5–20 km/h working speed range suit paddy-field straw recovery and tropical pasture cuts where conditions vary.

► Contract Baling Services

40–80 bales/hour throughput keeps service contractors profitable. Fewer machine swaps between corn-stalk and hay jobs means more billable hours per season.

Daily — Before Operation

• Grease all pickup bearing zerks and chain idlers (lithium-based grease).
• Inspect pickup tines — replace any bent or missing units before fieldwork.
• Confirm hydraulic hoses are leak-free; pressurize the rear gate cylinder once at idle.
• Verify PTO shaft 720 r/min coupling locks click into place on both ends.

Every 50 Operating Hours

• Clear chaff buildup from all 18 chamber rollers and the feeder auger.
• Check chain tension on main drive and pickup drive — slack should not exceed 12 mm at the mid-span.
• Top up gearbox oil to the sight glass mark with SAE 80W-90.
• Re-torque wheel hub nuts to factory spec (260 N·m).

Pickup Swap (Spring-Tooth ↔ Hammer-Claw)

• Remove pickup module by undoing 8 mounting bolts and 2 quick-couplers.
• Install the alternate pickup, ensure all 18 hammer claws (or full set of spring tines) are intact.
• Allow 25–30 minutes for a workshop swap. Have spare shear pins on hand for first run.

End-of-Season Storage

• Pressure-wash chamber, pickup, and feeder. Dry thoroughly before storage.
• Coat all 18 compression rollers with light rust preventive oil.
• Drain gearbox oil after first 100 hours, then annually thereafter.
• Store under cover with the drawbar resting on a wood block to take pressure off the hitch cylinder.

One Machine, Two Pickup Heads

No need to buy two balers. Swap between spring-tooth and hammer-claw in under 30 minutes — extending the working window from one to three crop types.

Sensor-Controlled Density

Pressure sensors monitor compression in real time. Bales leave the chamber at consistent 115–200 kg/m³, eliminating the loose-core problem common to mechanical-only systems.

18-Roller Compression Chamber

222 mm diameter rollers spread compression load evenly. The result is uniform bale shape with cores breathable enough to prevent silage hot-spots.

120 HP Class — Production-Grade

Designed around the 88.2+ kW power band. Pairs with most mid-frame ag tractors (LS Mtron XP, Kioti HX, John Deere 6M, Case IH JX, Massey Ferguson 4700).

Air-Freight Spare Parts

Wear parts (hammer claws, tines, belts, bearings) ship from regional warehouses. Urgent harvest-window orders move via air freight in 5–7 days.

ISO 9001 + CE Documented

Every unit ships with QC records, CE marking, and full export paperwork. 12-month structural warranty on driveline, gearbox, and welds.

Q1. What is the difference between a cylindrical baler vs square baler?

Cylindrical balers form round bales that shed water and resist outdoor spoilage. Square balers form rectangular bales that stack tighter for transport. The 9YG-1.25 round design suits livestock feed and silage operations.

Q2. Can the 9YG-1.25 really bale standing corn stalks?

Yes. With the hammer-claw pickup installed (18 hammer claws), the machine tears standing stalks at the root and feeds them straight into the chamber — no mowing or raking required. Most operators bale 6–8 hectares of stover per day with one tractor.

Q3. What tractor power and PTO speed are required?

Minimum 88.2 kW (120 HP) at the PTO. The 9YG-1.25 runs at 720 r/min input shaft speed, which is reached when the tractor PTO turns at 540 RPM (1.33:1 internal gearbox ratio). For heavy stover, we recommend 130–140 HP.

Q4. How heavy is each finished round bale?

A 1,200 × 1,250 mm bale at 115 kg/m³ density weighs around 162 kg (silage-grade); at 200 kg/m³ it reaches 283 kg (dry hay/straw). Density is set via the sensor controller before each run.

Q5. Is net-wrap supplied? What is the spec?

Yes — the binding system is automatic net-wrap. Compatible roll size is 2,000 m × 1.25 m, sufficient for roughly 1,000–1,200 bales per roll depending on wrap turns. Use UV-stabilized net for outdoor storage.

Q6. What is the lead time and delivery process?

15–20 working days for standard customization (color, decals, logo). Sea freight to most ports adds 25–40 days. We handle CE, fumigation, and certificate-of-origin paperwork for the destination country.

We swapped to the hammer-claw pickup and baled 240 hectares of corn stover in twelve days. Bale density stayed at the upper end of the range across the whole job. The gearbox didn't even get warm.

My neighbor said standing corn stalks would eat any baler for breakfast. Three days in, this thing ate the corn stalks for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — and asked for seconds. The only complaint? My tractor finally has to work for a living.

— Travis B., Cattle & Stover Operation, Iowa 🇺🇸

For our silage operation the sensor density control is the difference. Bales come out of the wrapper holding shape, and we've cut spoilage on the outer layer compared with our last fixed-density unit. Solid value for the price.

1. Tractor (≥120 HP)

The 9YG-1.25 is a heavy-duty baling press — it needs at least 88.2 kW at the PTO. Pairing with an undersized tractor causes PTO clutch slip and fuel waste, especially when picking up wet silage or corn stover.

2. PTO Shaft (1,000 Nm rated)

The driveline transmits 720 r/min through to the gearbox. A premium shaft with proper telescoping length and shielded universal joints prevents the shear-bolt failures that interrupt harvest windows.

3. Disc / Drum Mower

For hay and lucerne work the spring-tooth pickup runs over windrowed crop — so a mower is the first stage. (For corn-stover work, skip this — the hammer-claw pickup handles it directly.)

4. Hay Tedder

Spreads and aerates cut hay so the entire windrow dries evenly. Cuts dry-down time 30–40%, which means you bale at correct moisture and avoid mold.

5. Hay Rake

Forms uniform windrows sized to the 2,240 mm pickup. Match the rake's working width to the baler — over-wide windrows force the operator to slow down and lose bales/hour.

6. Bale Wrapper

For silage operations, wrap bales within 2–4 hours of baling. The 1,200 × 1,250 mm bale size from the 9YG-1.25 fits standard round-bale wrappers without adapters.
