Farm Hay Round Baler 9YG-1.25A
The 9YG-1.25A agricultural Farm hay round baler is designed for small and medium-sized farms and is suitable for harvesting hay, alfalfa, rye, and legume forage. It easily handles hilly terrain and terraced fields, features an automatic netting function, is compatible with 100–130 horsepower tractors, and can produce 40–100 uniform bales per hour.
Product Overview
The 9YG-1.25A Farm Hay Round Baler is a compact, high-efficiency round baler engineered for small to medium farms harvesting dry hay, alfalfa, clover, and grass silage. Designed with a spring-tooth pickup, sensor-controlled density, and automatic net wrap system, it delivers consistent, high-density bales (up to 200 kg/m³) with minimal leaf loss—ideal for dairy farms, export markets, and sustainable pasture management. With a narrow working width and robust drivetrain, it performs reliably in hilly terrain, terraced fields, and fragmented plots where larger machines cannot operate.

Applications & Benefits
The 9YG-1.25A Farm Hay Round Baler isn’t designed for crop residue or wet straw—it’s purpose-built for high-value dry forage operations where nutritional content, bale integrity, and field adaptability directly impact profitability.

✅ Ideal Crops
- Alfalfa
- Ryegrass
- Cured dry hay
- Legume-based pastures (clover, vetch, etc.)
These delicate crops demand gentle handling—exactly what the spring-tooth pickup delivers.
✅ Key Operational Advantages
- Gentle Feeding Action: Minimizes leaf shatter (<5% loss), preserving protein-rich foliage critical for dairy and livestock feed.
- Automatic Net Wrap: Produces tightly sealed, weather-resistant bales in seconds—perfect for long-term storage, export compliance, or silage wrapping.
- Compact & Agile Frame: At just 2.85 m wide, it navigates steep slopes, terraced paddies, orchard rows, and narrow access roads where larger European balers simply can’t go.
? Tangible Economic Benefits
- Reduces labor costs by 30%+ compared to manual raking and tying
- Boosts usable forage yield through higher leaf retention and consistent bale density (100–200 kg/m³)
- Enables premium pricing in hay markets that value nutrition over weight alone
This machine turns quality hay into a competitive advantage—not just a commodity.
Is the 9YG-1.25A Right for Your Farm?
✅ Choose the 9YG-1.25A if you:
- Primarily bale dry hay, alfalfa, ryegrass, or legume pastures
- Operate on small, fragmented, or hilly fields with narrow access (<3 m)
- Use a 100–130 HP tractor and prioritize feed quality over raw speed
This model excels where leaf retention, bale uniformity, and terrain agility matter most.
❌ Consider another model if you:
- Regularly handle wet rice straw, standing corn stalks, or lodged crop residue → Opt for our interchangeable hammer-claw version (same chassis, tool-free swap)
- Need ultra-high throughput (>100 bales/hour) on large flat fields → Explore the 9YG-2.24D heavy-duty series baler
Your crop and field define your machine—not the other way around.

? Why This Comparison Matters
- You don’t need a $50,000 baler to produce export-quality hay.
The 9YG-1.25A delivers comparable bale quality at less than half the price, with lower power requirements and better maneuverability in real-world small-farm conditions. - Global brands assume flat fields and big tractors.
Our design assumes your reality: narrow paths, steep slopes, and the need to preserve every leaf of valuable alfalfa. - Total cost of ownership matters more than brand name.
With faster parts delivery, simpler maintenance, and no hidden options, the 9YG-1.25A offers faster ROI—especially outside North America and Western Europe.
“We chose the 9YG-1.25A not because it’s cheap—but because it’s smartly engineered for our farm, not a brochure.”
Case Studies
? Case Study 1: Preserving Alfalfa Quality on a Wisconsin Dairy Farm
Customer: Mark J. Peterson
Location: La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
Farm Type: 120-acre dairy operation (80 cows)
? Challenge
Mark used an older European baler that crushed alfalfa leaves during pickup, leading to feed with low protein content. His milk yield plateaued, and buyers rejected bales for export due to inconsistent density. The machine was also too wide (3.4 m) for his hilly pastures near the Mississippi River bluffs.
? How They Found Us
While researching “low leaf loss round baler for alfalfa” on YouTube, Mark saw a demo video of the 9YG-1.25A in action. He contacted your U.S. distributor via your website’s “Request Quote” form.
? Our Solution
We recommended the 9YG-1.25A with spring-tooth pickup, emphasizing:
- Gentle feeding to retain >95% leaves
- Automatic net wrap for uniform, export-ready bales
- Compact 2.85 m width for steep terrain
✅ Results After 1 Season
- Leaf loss reduced from ~18% to <6%
- Bales consistently hit 180 kg/m³ density—accepted by a Canadian hay exporter
- Saved $8,000/year in labor vs. manual raking
- Machine runs smoothly behind his John Deere 5075E (100 HP)
?️ Customer Quote
“I didn’t believe a baler under $20K could outperform my old one—but it does. My cows are healthier, and I’m finally getting premium prices for my hay.”
? Case Study 2: From Hand-Bundling to Mechanized Feeding in Vietnam
Customer: Tran Van Minh
Location: Dong Thap Province, Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Operation: 15-member rice-farming cooperative raising 60 cattle
? Challenge
After rice harvest, the group collected dry straw by hand to feed cattle—a slow, labor-intensive process. Workers complained of back pain, and loose bundles often molded during rainy season storage.
? How They Found Us
A local agricultural machinery expo in Ho Chi Minh City featured your Vietnamese dealer. Tran saw a live demo of the 9YG-1.25A baling rice straw and requested a field trial.
? Our Solution
We supplied a 9YG-1.25A configured for dry straw, paired with a locally available Kubota M85X tractor (105 HP). Training included net-wrap setup and maintenance basics in Vietnamese.
✅ Results After 6 Months
- Baling time reduced from 3 days to 4 hours per 10 tons
- Compact, wrapped bales resist moisture—zero spoilage in storage
- Labor costs cut by 40%
- Cooperative now sells surplus bales to neighboring farms
?️ Customer Quote
“Before, we bent over all day tying straw. Now, one person drives the tractor, and the machine does the rest. It paid for itself in one season.”
