9YQ-2300 Round Baler | 2300mm Wide-Pickup Round Baler Machine

9YQ-2300 Round Baler — 2300 mm Wide-Pickup Trailed Round Baler Machine with Automatic Net Wrap

The 9YQ-2300 Round Baler is a trailed, tractor PTO-driven baling machine built around a 2300 mm spring-tooth pick-up head and an 18-roller Φ 1000 mm drum chamber. It delivers consistent, dense round bales at 1250 mm width across hay, straw, silage grass, and corn stover — all wrapped automatically with net wrap, without operator input at each cycle.

Rated for tractors producing 58.8–132.5 kW (79–178 hp) at the PTO, this Round Baler Machine bridges the gap between light-duty 50 hp class balers and heavy 150 kW commercial units — making it a practical stock item for dealers supplying mid-to-large crop farms and professional contract operators. At 2500 kg and compact dimensions of 2950 × 2750 × 2050 mm, it fits a 40 ft flat-rack for cost-efficient multi-unit export.

High-Efficiency Shift Fork Feeding Round Baler — Engineering Highlights

The 9YQ-2300 is not a scaled-up version of a smaller machine. The wider pick-up, dual-stage feeder, and broader power range are engineered together as a system. Here is what each element delivers in the field:

• 2300 mm Wide Pick-Up Head

  At 2300 mm, this is among the widest spring-tooth pick-up heads in the Φ 1000 mm bale class. Wider windrow collection reduces the number of passes per field and keeps ground speed consistent — a direct reduction in fuel cost per bale compared with a 1950 mm-class machine working the same crop volume. This is the defining specification of a 2300mm wide pickup round hay baler and the primary reason operators step up from narrower models.

• Dual-Stage Feeder: Shift Fork + Screw Continuous

  The shift fork pre-stages and separates incoming crop before it reaches the screw continuous feeder throat. This two-step intake is the core advantage of the high efficiency shift fork feeding round baler design — it eliminates the dense-clump blockages that stop single-rotor machines mid-field, especially in heavy windrows of corn stover or fresh-cut grass. In back-to-back field trials against single-stage feeders, the dual-stage design reduced feeder stoppages by over 70% on thick, wet windrows.

• 18 × Φ 190 mm Roller Drum Chamber at Φ 1000 mm

  Eighteen rollers at 1250 mm chamber width apply even radial compression from first crop entry to final bale diameter. The result is a dense, geometrically consistent bale — not soft at the core — which stacks without deformation and feeds livestock at a predictable rate. The Φ 190 mm roller diameter provides enough surface area to avoid slip under high-throughput conditions without requiring oversized bearings.

• Automatic Net Wrapping — Fully Hands-Free

  Once target bale density is reached, the machine initiates, applies, and cuts net wrap without the operator leaving the tractor seat. Net wrap achieves approximately 99% bale surface coverage — versus ~75% for standard twine — producing a tighter outer shell that reduces dry-matter storage loss by an estimated 10–15% over a 6-month outdoor period. For silage, this sealed surface is a prerequisite before stretch-film application.

• Tractor PTO Baler — 58.8 to 132.5 kW Range

  As a tractor PTO baler, the 9YQ-2300 connects directly to standard 540 rpm or 1000 rpm PTO outputs. The 58.8–132.5 kW (79–178 hp) compatibility range means it works efficiently across a fleet of different tractor models — avoiding the common problem of a machine that only performs at or near maximum rated power. At 80 hp input on dry hay, the machine runs at full bale cycle capacity without PTO overload.

• Compact Frame for a 2300 mm Class Machine

  Overall dimensions of 2950 × 2750 × 2050 mm and a 2500 kg transport weight keep road clearances within standard limits for most markets. For dealers sourcing this round baler for sale in volume, the machine packs two units per 40 ft flat-rack container — reducing per-unit sea freight cost significantly versus single-unit shipment.

How Many Square Bales Equal One Round Bale from the 9YQ-2300?

This comparison is one of the first questions buyers ask when evaluating a switch from square to round baling. The 9YQ-2300 Round Baler produces Φ 1000 mm diameter bales at 1250 mm width. The table below uses dry hay at 15–18% moisture as the reference crop:

At its rated Φ 1000 mm compression diameter, the 9YQ-2300 produces bales weighing approximately 320–400 kg on dry hay — equivalent to roughly 18–22 standard small square bales (18 kg each) or 9–11 large 3-string bales (36 kg each). Higher-moisture silage grass will increase bale weight within the same diameter.

The 9YQ-2300's advantage over larger-diameter machines at this bale size is cycle speed and tractor efficiency. A Φ 1000 mm bale reaches target density faster than a Φ 1500 mm bale, allowing a higher number of completed bales per field hour — particularly important in contract operations where day-rate output matters more than individual bale weight.
