Crop is continuously fed and rolled into an ever-tighter cylinder until the preset diameter and density are reached, at which point the automatic net-wrapping sequence triggers without any operator input.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"padding-left: 20px; color: #333; margin-bottom: 18px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 9px;\"><strong>Spring-Tooth Pickup:<\/strong> The 2,200 mm wide spring-tooth reel lifts windrowed crop from the ground with hardened tines that minimise leaf shatter and soil contamination across all crop types. Hydraulic height adjustment with floating capacity allows the pickup to automatically follow ground contours, maintaining clean crop collection even on uneven field surfaces.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 9px;\"><strong>Continuous Screw Feeding:<\/strong> Picked-up material is delivered into the compression chamber by a continuous screw feeding mechanism, which provides an uninterrupted, consistent crop flow into the roll-drum chamber \u2014 eliminating the charge-by-charge feeding cycle of square balers and enabling truly continuous forward operation.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 9px;\"><strong>Roll-Drum Compression:<\/strong> Inside the 1,400 mm wide roll-drum chamber, 18 pressing rollers (\u03a6222 mm each) rotate to continuously compact the growing bale. As the bale diameter increases toward the preset 1,220 mm target, the rollers apply progressively higher radial pressure, producing a uniformly dense, stable bale cylinder with a consistent cross-section from core to outer ring.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 9px;\"><strong>High-Precision Net Wrapping:<\/strong> The handheld colour touch screen monitors bale diameter and weight in real time via high-precision displacement sensors. When the preset target is reached, the fully automatic net-wrapping system engages, applies the programmed number of net loops (sensor-controlled for cost optimisation), cuts the net, and signals the operator that the bale is ready for ejection.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 9px;\"><strong>Bale Ejection:<\/strong> The rear tailgate opens hydraulically, the completed round bale rolls out onto the field surface, and the tailgate closes automatically \u2014 the next bale forming cycle begins immediately. The operator selects automatic or manual mode via the touch screen depending on field conditions and operator preference.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"background: #f4faf7; border-left: 4px solid #2e9e5b; border-radius: 6px; padding: 13px 18px;\">\n<p style=\"color: #1a5c2e; font-weight: bold; font-size: .95rem; margin: 0 0 6px;\">\u2699 Smart Control Highlights<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 0; padding-left: 18px; color: #333; font-size: .93rem;\">\n<li>Handheld colour touch screen \u2014 stable and reliable operation with precise bale weight control<\/li>\n<li>Automatic and manual operating modes \u2014 operator selects based on field condition<\/li>\n<li>High-precision displacement sensor monitors entire baling process at a glance<\/li>\n<li>Sensor-controlled net-wrap loop count \u2014 precise material cost control per bale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- ========== PTO SHAFT MODULE ========== --><\/p>\n<section id=\"pto-shaft-module\" style=\"margin-bottom: 40px; background: #fffdf0; border: 1px solid #e2d88a; border-radius: 8px; padding: 22px 20px;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size: clamp(1.2rem,3vw,1.6rem); font-weight: bold; color: #7a5c00; margin-bottom: 10px;\">\ud83d\udd29 PTO Shaft \u2014 High-Torque Driveline Requirements for the 9YG-2.2<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"margin: 0 0 16px; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 760px; height: auto; border-radius: 6px; display: inline-block;\" src=\"https:\/\/balershay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/baler-connected-to-PTO-shaft.webp\" alt=\"Round baler connected to tractor via PTO shaft \u2014 high-torque driveline for the EP-9YG-2.2 large round baler\" \/><figcaption style=\"font-size: .84rem; color: #777; margin-top: 7px;\">The PTO shaft transmits 110\u2013150 kW of continuous tractor power into the 9YG-2.2 roll-drum chamber and auxiliary systems<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\">The EP-9YG-2.2 draws 110\u2013150 kW continuously through the PTO shaft to drive the 18-roller compression chamber, continuous screw feeder, hydraulic system, net-wrapping mechanism, and electronic control auxiliaries simultaneously. This is a substantially higher continuous torque load than a square baler of equivalent pickup width. Shaft selection must account for both steady-state rotor torque and intermittent peak loads from dense crop ingestion. Key requirements:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; color: #444; margin-bottom: 14px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><strong>High continuous torque rating:<\/strong> The shaft must be rated for the full 150 kW upper power limit with an appropriate safety factor. A heavy-duty friction torque limiter (not shear-bolt) is strongly recommended to handle the continuous high-torque cycle without bolt replacement downtime.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><strong>PTO speed and spline:<\/strong> The 9YG-2.2 is typically configured for 1,000 rpm input (21-spline). Confirm the exact input specification with our technical team before ordering the shaft.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><strong>Telescoping length and articulation angle:<\/strong> At 4,100 mm overall length, the 9YG-2.2 has a relatively short hitch-to-input distance. Measure carefully and ensure the shaft telescopes freely through the full turning radius without bottoming or separating.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"><strong>CE-rated full safety guard:<\/strong> Mandatory.

FAQ ========== --><\/p>\n<section id=\"faq\" style=\"margin-bottom: 44px;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size: clamp(1.3rem,3vw,1.7rem); font-weight: bold; color: #1a5c2e; border-bottom: 2px solid #2e9e5b; padding-bottom: 6px; margin-bottom: 20px;\">Frequently Asked Questions \u2014 EP-9YG-2.2 Round Baler<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 14px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-weight: bold; color: #1a5c2e; margin: 0 0 7px;\">Q1: What is the key functional difference between the 9YG-2.2 round baler and the EP square balers?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"color: #444; margin: 0; font-size: .93rem;\">The 9YG-2.2 forms cylindrical round bales (1,220 mm diameter) inside a roll-drum chamber using 18 pressing rollers, wrapped with net, and is designed for continuous-feed high-throughput operation with a 110\u2013150 kW tractor. EP square balers produce 460 x 360 mm rectangular bales using a reciprocating plunger and twine knotter, requiring 40\u2013100 hp tractors. Round bales are better for silage, outdoor weathering tolerance, and large-volume alfalfa export; square bales are better for compact storage, manual handling, and export pallet logistics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 14px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-weight: bold; color: #1a5c2e; margin: 0 0 7px;\">Q2: How does the handheld touch screen control the baling process?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"color: #444; margin: 0; font-size: .93rem;\">The colour touch screen, working in combination with a high-precision displacement sensor, monitors bale diameter and density continuously during formation. The operator sets target bale weight and net-wrap loop count via the touch screen. When the bale reaches the preset target, the automatic net-wrapping sequence triggers without any operator input. Both automatic mode (fully hands-off from bale start to ejection) and manual mode (operator triggers wrapping and ejection manually) are available for different field conditions and operator preferences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 14px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-weight: bold; color: #1a5c2e; margin: 0 0 7px;\">Q3: Can the 9YG-2.2 be used for silage baling?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"color: #444; margin: 0; font-size: .93rem;\">The 9YG-2.2 produces net-wrapped round bales suitable as the first stage of round bale silage production. After ejection, net-wrapped bales of wilted grass (typically 40%\u201355% DM moisture) are over-wrapped with stretch silage film using a separate bale wrapper to create a sealed anaerobic environment. The high-precision net-wrap loop control on the 9YG-2.2 reduces the film requirement in the subsequent wrapping stage, saving material costs at scale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 14px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-weight: bold; color: #1a5c2e; margin: 0 0 7px;\">Q4: What routine maintenance does the 9YG-2.2 require?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"color: #444; margin: 0; font-size: .93rem;\">Daily: check automatic oil lubrication system reservoir level and top up if required, inspect pickup tines for damage, check net-wrap roll supply and tension, verify hydraulic fluid level. Weekly: inspect all roller bearings for noise or play, check chain tension and sprocket wear, inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings. Seasonal: drain and replace gearbox and chain drive oil, inspect all roller surfaces for wear, replace worn pickup tines, test electronic control system sensor calibration. The centralised oil supply and grease manifold design significantly reduces daily servicing time compared with machines requiring individual point greasing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #e0e0e0; padding: 14px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-weight: bold; color: #1a5c2e; margin: 0 0 7px;\">Q5: What net-wrap types are compatible with the 9YG-2.2?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"color: #444; margin: 0; font-size: .93rem;\">The 9YG-2.2 net-wrapping system is compatible with standard round-baler net wrap rolls in widths matched to the 1,400 mm compression room width. UV-stabilised polyethylene net wrap in 64\u201372 gsm weight range is recommended for outdoor-stored bales. For silage bales to be over-wrapped with stretch film, a lighter 50\u201364 gsm net wrap minimises net tenting and ensures good stretch-film adhesion. Contact our technical team for net-wrap roll core diameter and carrier specifications before first use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 14px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1rem; font-weight: bold; color: #1a5c2e; margin: 0 0 7px;\">Q6: What warranty and spare-parts support is included with the EP-9YG-2.2?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p style=\"color: #444; margin: 0; font-size: .93rem;\">The EP-9YG-2.2 carries a 24-month manufacturer warranty on the main frame, gearbox, and structural components, and a 12-month warranty on the roller assemblies, net-wrapping mechanism, and electronic control system. Support is direct from our factory engineering team \u2014 no dealer intermediary required. All fast-wear parts (pickup tines, net-wrap knife, roller bearings, chain sets, hydraulic seals) are held in export stock and dispatched globally within 48 hours. A recommended seasonal spare-parts kit is available with each new machine on request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- ========== 10.
