9YF-2200 / 1900 / 1700 Square Baler — Mid-Mounted Trailed Square Hay Baler for Modern UK Farms
A professional-grade square baler engineered for wheat straw, rice straw, corn straw, cotton straw, and forage grass — built to meet the rigorous demands of British arable and livestock operations.
The 9YF Series Square Baler represents a decisive step forward in mechanised hay and straw harvesting. Designed for towed operation behind a PTO-driven tractor, these machines combine robust steel construction with precision spring-tooth picking technology to deliver consistently compact, high-density square bales. Whether you manage a mixed arable rotation in East Anglia, run a livestock enterprise in Yorkshire, or coordinate large-scale forage harvesting across the Scottish Lowlands, the 9YF-2200, 9YF-1900, and 9YF-1700 models offer a calibrated solution for every scale of operation. The automatic rope baling mechanism eliminates manual tying steps, reducing labour dependency and protecting operator safety during peak harvest windows. With picking widths spanning 1700 mm to 2200 mm, the series addresses the practical realities of diverse UK field conditions, from narrow headlands to wide open cereal paddocks.

Why UK Farmers Choose the 9YF Square Baler
Spring Tooth Picker
The spring-tooth picking structure reliably lifts lodged and tangled crop material from uneven UK field surfaces without blockage or crop loss.
Fork Feeding Mechanism
The fork feeding inlet channels crop material evenly into the compression chamber, preventing uneven bale density that leads to poor storage stacking.
D-Type Double Knotter
Dual D-type knotters produce a secure, consistent tie every time, eliminating the bale breakage losses that plague older single-knotter designs during long-haul transport.
High-Density Compression
The 460 x 360 mm compression chamber section delivers bales that are compact and weather-resistant, ideally suited to open-air stacking common on British farms.
Automatic Rope Baling
Fully automatic rope baling removes operator intervention at the tying stage, dramatically cutting cycle time and reducing physical strain during the intense harvest season.
Paddy & Dry Field Compatible
Engineered for both wet and dry soil conditions. On flat, stone-free ground, output quality and throughput reach their peak, making it ideal for arable lowland farms across England.
How the 9YF Square Baler Works
Power is drawn from the tractor PTO shaft, which drives the entire baling mechanism through a robust gearbox and crankshaft assembly. As the square baler moves across the field, the spring-tooth picker reel lifts crop material — whether wheat straw, corn stalks, or mixed grass — from the ground and feeds it into the fork feeding inlet. The fork mechanism then pushes the crop rearward in consistent flakes into the rectangular compression chamber, where a reciprocating plunger driven by the crankshaft compresses each charge against the accumulated mass. Once the bale reaches the preset length, the automatic rope baling system activates the dual D-type knotters simultaneously, securing the bale with two independent ties. The completed square bale is then ejected from the rear chute onto the field.
This closed-loop mechanical cycle requires no operator input beyond tractor operation, which translates directly into higher hourly output and lower running costs per tonne of straw or forage processed. The 460 x 360 mm cross-section produces bales that stack efficiently in British hay barns, handling bays, and lorries, streamlining the entire post-harvest logistics chain for farms and forage merchants alike.

Where UK Farms Deploy the 9YF Square Baler

The versatility of the 9YF series makes it a natural fit across a wide spectrum of British agricultural enterprises. Cereal producers in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire use the 9YF-2200 to clear post-harvest wheat and barley straw rapidly before the autumn drilling window closes. The wider 2200 mm picking head delivers a significant throughput advantage on wide-row stubble fields. In contrast, livestock farmers in Wales, Cumbria, and the Scottish Borders find the 9YF-1700 a more practical choice for smaller paddocks and irregular field shapes, where the narrower machine navigates corners and gateways with less difficulty. Equestrian operations and rural merchants sourcing bedding straw for stable yards also benefit from the clean, tightly compressed square bale format, which is straightforward to handle, palletise, and deliver.
Forage grass contractors working across mixed ley fields choose the 9YF series for its reliable spring-tooth action, which cleans up windrow material with minimal ground-level contamination. The baled product goes directly into livestock feed chains without the soil inclusion issues that arise from aggressive reel-and-cam drum designs. For straw recycling businesses and biomass energy suppliers operating across the Midlands and Northern England, the consistent bale geometry of the 9YF range simplifies loading automation and reduces fuel burn during transportation — a genuine cost saving over several hundred round trips per season.

🏔 Case Study — Nottinghamshire Mixed Arable Farm, England
From Bottleneck to Benchmark: How a 1,200-Acre Operation Transformed Its Post-Harvest Workflow
Crossfield Agricultural Ltd, based near Newark-on-Trent in Nottinghamshire, operates a 1,200-acre mixed arable enterprise growing winter wheat, spring barley, and oilseed rape. Prior to adopting the 9YF-2200 Square Baler, the business relied on a combination of contractor hire and an ageing conventional baler, resulting in significant post-harvest delays and straw left standing well into September — compressing the autumn cultivations window. Following a demonstration arranged through the UK distributor network, the farm manager, James Whitfield, ordered two units of the 9YF-2200 for the 2024 harvest season.
Results after the first full season were marked. Straw clearance across all 1,200 acres was completed within nine working days, a reduction of nearly a third compared to previous years. The automatic rope baling system required minimal operator training, and the dual D-type knotters achieved a tie failure rate of less than 0.3% across the entire run. Crossfield has since placed a forward order for a third machine to cover their expanded contract baling operation for neighbouring farms, reflecting confidence in the product’s reliability and the responsiveness of the support team.
“The 9YF-2200 handled our Lincolnshire straw cleanly and quickly. We cleared 800 acres in seven days — that kind of output simply was not possible with our old machine. The bale density is excellent and they stack perfectly in our Dutch barns.”
★★★★★ Robert Ashworth
Arable Contractor — Lincolnshire, England
“We run the 9YF-1700 behind a 50 kW tractor on our Welsh hill farm. The fork feeding mechanism handles rough, slightly wet ryegrass windrows without the blockages we suffered with previous equipment. Solid build quality and fair price for what you get.”
★★★★★ Gareth Hughes
Livestock Farmer — Powys, Wales
“We supply bedding straw to equestrian centres across the East Midlands. The 9YF-1900 produces bales that are consistent every single time. Our stable yard customers have commented specifically on the improved quality. The after-sales support from the supplier has been prompt and professional.”
★★★★★ Susan Carter

Manufacturing Capability & Custom Configuration Services
Our manufacturing facility operates across a dedicated production floor with advanced CNC machining centres, robotic welding stations, and a controlled quality inspection line. Every square baler that leaves the factory undergoes a comprehensive pre-despatch inspection protocol covering knotter function, plunger alignment, PTO driveline integrity, and paint adhesion testing. Components critical to field reliability — knotters, plunger bearings, and picker shaft assemblies — are produced in-house to maintain dimensional tolerances that sub-contracted sourcing cannot consistently guarantee.
For UK distributors, agricultural machinery importers, and large farming enterprises, we offer a structured product customisation service that extends well beyond standard catalogue configurations. Clients may specify alternative PTO shaft lengths and protection types to match specific tractor platforms common in the British market, including John Deere, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, and Fendt. Picking width adjustments, alternative knotter rope diameters, heavy-duty running gear options, and custom colour coding for dealer branding are all available within defined lead times. Our engineering team works directly with overseas buyers to document requirements, produce confirmation drawings, and manage production scheduling — providing a transparent and accountable custom order process from initial enquiry through to port-of-export documentation.
