Wide windrows left by a combine harvester should not require multiple field passes. The 9YF-2200 covers a full 2200 mm working width in a single run — collecting wheat straw, rice straw, cotton stalks, corn stover, and forage grasses in one clean sweep. With a minimum power requirement of just 36.8 kW, it is also the most tractor-accessible 2200 mm square baler in the Ever-Power range, operating with any mid-range 50 HP+ farm tractor.
Product Overview
The 9YF-2200 is a single-chamber, towed square baler designed for large-area baling operations where maximising pickup width per pass is the priority. Its 2200 mm spring-tooth pickup represents the widest collection aperture in the standard Ever-Power square baler lineup, minimising the number of passes required to clear a harvested field and reducing fuel consumption per tonne of baled material. Collected material flows through a fork feeding mechanism into a single 460 x 360 mm compression chamber, where it is compacted slice by slice by the reciprocating plunger before being bound automatically with two ropes via twin D-type knotters.
At 1950 kg — substantially lighter than the dual-chamber 9YFS-2.2 — the 9YF-2200 is practical for inter-field road transport on a standard flatbed trailer. Its minimum power requirement of 36.8 kW (50 HP) means it operates within the capacity of the most common mid-range farm tractors across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa, without the higher fuel and depreciation costs associated with 80-100 HP machinery.
Key Features
2200 mm Full-Width Spring-Tooth Pickup — Maximum Field Coverage
At 2200 mm, the pickup width of the 9YF-2200 matches the widest windrow patterns produced by most combine harvesters and large drum rakes. Collecting material across this full width in a single pass reduces the total number of field laps required and cuts the time-per-hectare significantly compared to narrower machines. The spring-tooth design allows individual tines to deflect independently over uneven ground, recovering scattered material efficiently while protecting both the tines and the pickup drive from soil-impact damage. Even material distribution across the full 2200 mm is maintained by the fork feeding mechanism before material enters the compression chamber, ensuring consistent bale density from the first bale to the last of the day.
Twin D-Type Knotters — Reliable Binding at Scale
Two D-type knotters tie two ropes per bale automatically with no manual intervention during normal operation. The D-type rotating bill hook mechanism is the most widely adopted knotter design in commercial square baling globally, valued for its low jam rate, consistent knot formation under varied crop conditions, and straightforward field-level adjustment. Each knotter is individually accessible for tensioning and bill-hook alignment without disassembling surrounding components. Twine path guides and tension springs are designed for quick replacement in the field.
Fork Feeding Mechanism — Consistent Chamber Loading
The fork feeding mechanism meters collected material into the 460 x 360 mm compression chamber in controlled, metered batches rather than a continuous stream. This controlled delivery prevents the sudden material surges that cause density variation within a bale and increase knotter jam frequency. The fork design is particularly effective when operating in tangled, damp, or high-yield crop conditions where continuous-feed systems risk bridging at the chamber inlet, producing uneven bales or causing machine stoppages that break the harvesting rhythm.
Low Entry Power — Compatible from 36.8 kW (50 HP)
The 9YF-2200 is engineered to operate reliably from 36.8 kW (50 HP) — a threshold that covers the majority of farm tractors in commercial use across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa. This wide tractor compatibility means farmers can deploy the machine with equipment they already own, without investment in higher-horsepower tractors. The drive train, knotter cam, and pickup reel are all sized for sustained operation at this lower power threshold, not merely rated to survive it. Operators with 60-100 HP tractors will find the machine responsive to higher ground speeds and can cover proportionally more hectares per day.
Field Applications and Typical Use Cases
The primary crop applications include wheat straw, rice straw, cotton stalk, corn stover, alfalfa, and a broad range of cultivated and wild forage grasses. Baled output from this machine serves a range of downstream uses depending on regional agricultural practice and buyer requirements: livestock bedding and roughage feed, commercial straw trading, biomass fuel baling, soil incorporation operations, and post-harvest field residue management.
Square bales produced by this machine are stackable to uniform heights, making them well suited to container loading, covered warehouse storage, and mechanical handling with telehandlers and front-loaders. The consistent 460 x 360 mm cross-section across all Ever-Power standard models ensures that bale handling and storage infrastructure designed for one model is fully compatible with others in the range.
Operating Conditions
The 9YF-2200 is suited to flat ground and low-relief paddy field terrain. Field surface should be free of large stones and hard objects. Optimal bale density is achieved at crop moisture content of 15-25%. The machine operates on both dry arable land and post-harvest paddy fields, provided the ground is firm enough to support tractor traction.
How It Works
Step 1 — Pickup
The 2200 mm spring-tooth reel picks up windrowed material across its full width and delivers it to the fork feeding mechanism.
Step 2 — Compression
Material is compacted layer by layer in the 460 x 360 mm chamber. Adjustable tension allows the operator to set target bale hardness.
Step 3 — Binding and Ejection
At the set bale length, both D-type knotters fire automatically, tying two ropes. The completed bale is released from the rear outlet.
