9YQ-1950 Round Hay Bales Machine — Trailed, 1950mm Pickup, 36.7–110.3 kW
Model 9YQ-1950 · Trailed Type · Roll Drum Chamber · Automatic Net Wrapping · CE & ISO Certified
Compact Round Hay Bales Solution for Small and Medium Farms
The 9YQ-1950 is a trailed round hay baler built for small and medium-scale farming operations that need reliable output without the power requirements of full-size commercial machines. With a 1950 mm pickup width, a Φ1000 mm fixed drum chamber, and a matching power range of 36.7–110.3 kW, it covers the tractor horsepower range most common on mid-sized farms — from 50 HP compact units up to 150 HP workhorses.
The bale chamber is 1250 mm wide, producing consistent cylindrical round hay bales tied with automatic net wrapping — no manual knotting required. The roll drum compression system uses 18 working rollers, each Φ190 mm in diameter, arranged to maintain even pressure across the full bale cross-section. Every bale exits at the same diameter: Φ1000 mm.
Overall machine dimensions are 3200 × 2500 × 2010 mm and total weight is 2385 kg — light enough to be pulled by tractors in the 50–80 HP class on flat ground, while remaining stable at full working load. For distributors and dealers sourcing round baler for sale into markets where mid-range tractor power is the norm, the 9YQ-1950 sits in a commercially strong position.

Key Features of the 9YQ-1950 Round Hay Bales Machine
The 9YQ-1950 is engineered for operators running 50–150 HP tractors across diverse field conditions. Each design choice below reflects a specific operational requirement of small and medium farms rather than a general description of baler technology.
Dual-Stage Feeder: Shift Fork + Screw
Unlike single-stage feeders, the 9YQ-1950 combines a shift fork feeding mechanism with a continuous screw feeder. The shift fork handles the initial transfer of picked crop into the inlet, while the screw maintains a steady, even flow into the drum chamber. This two-stage approach reduces inlet blockages — particularly when baling dense windrows of alfalfa or damp straw.
Fixed Φ1000 mm Drum Chamber, 18 Rollers
The fixed drum chamber produces round hay bales at a consistent Φ1000 mm diameter every cycle. With 18 compression rollers (Φ190 mm each), compression force is distributed across 18 contact points around the bale circumference — producing a dense, well-shaped bale that holds together through transport and storage without net failure.
Automatic Net Wrapping — No Manual Tying
Once the bale reaches the target diameter, the net wrapping system activates automatically and completes binding without stopping the tractor. This eliminates the operator workload of manual twine tying and keeps field throughput consistent across a full day of baling. Net-wrapped round hay bales also shed rain more effectively than twine-tied bales, extending safe outdoor storage time.
Spring Tooth Pickup, 1950 mm Width
Spring teeth flex on contact with buried rocks and compacted soil clods rather than snapping — a meaningful durability advantage in fields where ground conditions are variable. The 1950 mm working width covers a wide windrow in a single pass, reducing the number of headland turns needed per paddock and lowering total baling time per hectare.
Wide Power Compatibility: 36.7–110.3 kW
The 9YQ-1950 operates across a 73.6 kW power window — from compact 50 HP tractors to 150 HP machines. This range means the same baler can be paired with different tractors across a mixed fleet, or sold into markets where tractor power availability varies significantly. For dealers sourcing round baler for sale across multiple regions, this broad compatibility reduces the need to stock multiple models.
Compact Frame: 3200 × 2500 × 2010 mm
At 2385 kg and under 3.2 m in length, the 9YQ-1950 is narrow enough to transport on a standard flatbed trailer without an escort vehicle in most markets. This matters for contract baling operators who move between farms, and for importers calculating container loading efficiency when purchasing multiple units per shipment.
How Many Square Bales Equal One Round Hay Bale?
This is one of the most common questions from farmers switching between baler types or comparing feed purchasing options. The answer depends on bale diameter, crop type, moisture content, and compression density — but these reference figures apply to the Φ1000 mm bales produced by the 9YQ-1950:
≈ 20–25
Small square bales
equivalent per Φ1000 mm round bale
(dry grass hay, ~20 kg/bale)
≈ 6–8
Large square bales
equivalent per Φ1000 mm round bale
(400×300×800 mm format, ~60–80 kg)
150–250
kg per round bale
typical range for Φ1000 mm bales
(varies by crop and moisture)
A Φ1000 mm net-wrapped round hay bale from the 9YQ-1950 typically weighs 150–250 kg depending on crop type and moisture at baling. By comparison, a standard small square bale (36 × 46 cm cross-section) weighs roughly 10–25 kg. This puts the round bale equivalent at approximately 20–25 small square bales, or 6–8 large rectangular bales in the 60–80 kg range.
The practical implication: one operator running a 9YQ-1950 for a full day can consolidate the equivalent of several hundred small square bales into a fraction of the handling operations — fewer lifts, fewer loads, lower labour cost per tonne of hay moved from field to storage.
Round bales also offer better weather resistance in outdoor storage. Net wrapping on the 9YQ-1950 covers the bale ends and cylinder surface, shedding rain and reducing spoilage depth to the outer 2–5 cm under normal conditions — outperforming unprotected twine-tied square bales stored in the open for more than two weeks.
Round Hay Bales for Small and Medium Farms: Typical Applications
The 9YQ-1950’s power range and machine weight make it well matched to the following operational contexts. Each application note explains the specific way the machine’s specifications address that use case — not just that it “can be used” for a crop.
- ✓
Alfalfa / Lucerne on Small to Medium Paddocks: The 1950 mm pickup handles typical alfalfa windrow widths without needing a second merge pass. Alfalfa’s tendency to shed leaves during aggressive mechanical handling is reduced by the spring tooth design, which lifts rather than drags the crop. Operators baling 2–4 cuts per season get consistent Φ1000 mm bales across all cuttings. - ✓
Wheat and Rice Straw After Harvest: Post-combine straw is typically dry, low-density, and spread across a wide swath. The 1950 mm pickup gathers it efficiently, and the dual-stage feeder compresses it into a tight bale without the straw bridging and stalling that narrow-inlet designs often experience. - ✓
Corn and Sorghum Stalks (Biomass Recovery): At 36.7 kW minimum power input, the 9YQ-1950 can be driven by tractors commonly available on small and medium farms in Asia-Pacific, South America, and parts of Africa. The 9YQ-1950 round hay baler machine handles long-stem residue without the power overload that stalls lower-rated competitive models. - ✓
Natural Pasture and Mixed-Species Grass: Variable stem lengths, embedded weed species, and uneven windrow density are standard on native grassland. The screw continuous feeding mechanism smooths out surge-and-starve feed irregularities, keeping bale formation steady regardless of swath variation. - ✓
Contract Baling Operations: The compact 3200 × 2500 × 2010 mm footprint and 2385 kg weight allow road transport on a standard agricultural trailer between client farms. For contract operators running 1–2 balers across multiple properties during peak season, transport logistics are a genuine cost — the 9YQ-1950’s size keeps this manageable. - ✓
Livestock Feed Preparation (Dairy and Beef): Round hay bales at Φ1000 mm are a standard size for direct feeding to cattle and sheep using a ring feeder. Consistent bale diameter from the fixed drum chamber means feeders and unrolling equipment can be calibrated to one size, reducing setup time during daily feeding routines.
Round Baler Parts Availability and After-Sales Support
Scheduled maintenance on the 9YQ-1950 focuses on three wear areas: pickup tines, compression roller bearings, and net-wrap feed rollers. All round baler parts for this model are stocked and available for international shipping with standard lead times.
Pickup Tines (Spring Tooth)
Replace when bent or worn at tip. Tines are individually replaceable without removing the full pickup drum — a 30–45 minute field repair for an experienced operator.
Compression Roller Bearings
18 rollers use standard sealed roller bearings available globally. Replacement intervals depend on lubrication schedule and annual hours — typically 1,500–2,500 operating hours before bearing service.
Net-Wrap Feed Rollers
The net feed mechanism uses rubber-coated feed rollers that wear with use. Replacement rollers ship as a paired set. Worn rollers cause net misfeeding and incomplete bale wrapping — inspect at the start of each season.
A parts list with part numbers is supplied with every machine. For dealers or distributors establishing service infrastructure, we provide a recommended initial spare parts package covering the most frequently replaced components for the first 500 operating hours.
Frequently Asked Questions – Round Hay Bales
What is the minimum tractor HP for the 9YQ-1950?
The 9YQ-1950 requires a minimum of 36.7 kW (approximately 50 HP) at the PTO. On flat terrain with light to medium crop density, 50 HP is sufficient. For heavier windrows, wet conditions, or sloped ground, 70–80 HP is more appropriate to avoid PTO speed drops that affect bale density.
Can this machine bale silage or high-moisture crops?
The 9YQ-1950 can bale crops at higher moisture levels, but net-wrapped bales are not airtight — they are not suited for fermented silage production. For silage, the bales would need to be additionally wrapped in stretch film using a bale wrapper after ejection. Contact our team for compatible wrapper models.
Is the 9YQ-1950 available for OEM or private-label supply?
Yes. The 9YQ-1950 round hay baler machine is available for OEM supply with custom branding, alternative colour schemes, and specification adjustments for target markets. Minimum order quantities and lead times are provided on request. CE and ISO documentation is supplied with every export order.
How does the dual-stage feeder reduce blockages compared to a single-stage system?
The shift fork picks up the crop from the pickup drum and transfers it into the inlet at a controlled rate, preventing sudden surges of material. The screw mechanism then feeds it into the chamber in a consistent flow. Single-stage systems that rely only on a screw or only on a fork tend to stall when windrow density spikes — the two-stage design absorbs these variations before they reach the compression chamber.
