EP-9YG-2.24D-Round baler-S9000 Classic

4. Engineering Excellence: Working Principle & Compatibility

Working Principle: The S9000 Classic operates on a "Semi-Forced Axial Flow" principle. As the tractor tows the unit, the 2240mm cam-less spring tooth pickup lifts the windrow. Unlike traditional augers that can wrap and jam with long, wet rice straw, the S9000 utilizes a Dial Tine Roller and Drum combination to forcefully feed the crop into the main chamber. Inside, 18 high-strength steel rollers (Φ222mm) rotate to tumble the crop. As the bale grows, hydraulic sensors monitor density. Once the preset pressure is reached, the net binding system triggers automatically, wrapping the bale in seconds before the hydraulic buffer cylinders gently eject it.

5. Application Scenarios

5.1. South Korea – Rice Paddy Harvesting

In regions like Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do, where rice paddies are small, terraced, and often on uneven ground, the S9000 Classic provides a reliable solution. Its 30° tilt and 100° steering angle allows farmers to navigate these challenging terrains without causing mechanical failures, ensuring that farmers can meet stringent Direct Payment for Fodder deadlines.

5.2. Japan – High-Density Silage Production

In Japan’s rice-growing regions, where winter fodder production is critical, the S9000 Classic produces high-density bales (up to 500kg per bale). This is ideal for silage used in dairy and cattle farming, meeting the growing demand for quality feed while ensuring compliance with local environmental regulations on straw burning.

5.3. United States – Corn Stalk Baling in the Midwest

For large-scale farms in the Midwest dealing with post-harvest corn stalks, the S9000 Classic provides the heavy-duty compression needed to process tough, fibrous material. The machine’s robust 18-roller compression system can handle the abrasive nature of corn stalks, ensuring long-term durability and efficient baling.

5.4. Brazil – Sugarcane Straw Management

In Brazil, where sugarcane residue management is crucial for biomass energy production, the S9000 Classic helps clear fields quickly. Its high-speed operation (up to 100 bales per hour) and large pickup width (2240mm) make it an excellent choice for farmers needing to handle large quantities of sugarcane straw for bioenergy applications.

5.5. Australia – Hay Baling in Dryland Farms

On Australian dryland farms, where high-density bales are needed for efficient storage and transport, the S9000 Classic delivers. Its ability to form bales with densities ranging from 100-200 kg/m³ ensures that hay and silage can be stored for longer periods and transported efficiently across vast distances.

5.6. Russia – Winter Wheat Straw Baling

In Krasnodar, Russia, where winter wheat production is a key agricultural activity, the S9000 Classic effectively handles dense straw. Its reinforced steel rollers can compress the tough, silica-rich straw without rapid wear, making it perfect for baling and managing wheat straw in preparation for the winter.

5.7. France – Silage Production for Cattle Feed

In France, especially in Brittany, known for its dairy production, the S9000 Classic is used to create silage for cattle feed. The 20A double-chain compression system ensures that bales are tightly packed to exclude oxygen, which is crucial for producing high-quality, well-fermented silage.

5.8. South Africa – Forage Baling on Cattle Farms

On large cattle farms in South Africa, the S9000 Classic is used to bale forage and silage. Its efficient net wrapping system and fast productivity (up to 100 bales per hour) allow farmers to quickly produce large quantities of silage, which is essential for maintaining cattle nutrition during the dry seasons.

5.9. New Zealand – Pasture Management for Dairy Farms

In New Zealand, known for its large dairy industry, the S9000 Classic helps manage pasture grass and convert it into silage. The machine's ability to handle wet grass without clogging, thanks to its axial flow feeding system, makes it a preferred choice for dairy farmers looking to produce high-quality silage.

5.10. China – Straw Collection for Bioenergy Plants

In regions of China, where the government is encouraging bioenergy plants to use agricultural waste, the S9000 Classic is instrumental in collecting rice, wheat, and corn straw. With its efficient field clearance and high bale density, it transforms agricultural residue into usable biomass for energy production, helping meet China's renewable energy targets.

7. Global Forage Harvesting Trends: The Shift to High-Density

The global agricultural machinery market is witnessing a decisive shift from "Volume" to "Density." In markets like South Korea, Japan, and parts of Europe, land availability is shrinking, and logistics costs are rising. Transporting loose or low-density bales is no longer economically viable. The trend is moving towards Fixed Chamber Roller Balers like the S9000 Classic because they offer superior durability compared to belt balers when handling abrasive crops like rice straw, which contains high levels of silica.

Furthermore, the integration of "Smart Farming" is accelerating. While the S9000 Classic is a mechanical workhouse, EVER-POWER is actively developing sensor upgrades compatible with ISOBUS standards, allowing future iterations to communicate directly with the tractor's ECU for automated speed adjustment based on swath volume—a feature that will define the next decade of harvesting.
