Transporteur de balles rondes 9JYY-4.5 | Transporteur de 4 500 kg
Le 9JYY-4.5 round bale transporter is the high-capacity flagship in our trailed bale hauler line — 4,500 kg payload on a dual-axle four-wheel platform with two independent hydraulic circuits and a folding pickup arm that deploys to 6,750 mm working width and folds back to 2,900 mm for road transit. Where the 9JYY-2.5 solves the logistics problem for 100 to 300 acre operations, the 9JYY-4.5 is built for commercial hay producers, custom baling contractors, and livestock operations where moving 6 to 9 bales per trip — not 3 to 4 — is the difference between a one-day job and a three-day job.
When Capacity Becomes the Constraint: The Commercial Case for the 9JYY-4.5
At some point on a commercial hay or cattle ranch operation, the limiting factor in bale logistics stops being the number of trips and starts being the tractor time available. A 500-acre alfalfa farm running three cuttings per year drops roughly 1,500 bales annually. At 2,500 kg per trip — 3 to 4 bales — that's 375 to 500 transport trips per season. At 4,500 kg per trip — 6 to 9 bales — it's 167 to 250 trips. The 9JYY-4.5 doesn't just reduce trip count; it reduces the total amount of time a 68+ HP tractor is dedicated to bale logistics, freeing it for tillage, planting, and other revenue-generating tasks.
Custom baling contractors face a related but different constraint: their clients pay for a complete job that includes baling and clearing, and every hour the baling tractor waits for the field to be cleared is a billable hour lost. At 6 to 9 bales per trip behind a dedicated 70–100 HP hauling tractor, the 9JYY-4.5 stays ahead of even the fastest commercial balers — the field is clear before the baler circles back for the next windrow. That parallel productivity is what separates contractors who can take on more seasonal acreage from those who are already running at capacity.

Dual Hydraulic Circuit Engineering: Why Two Independent Circuits Matter
Most single-axle bale transporters run a single hydraulic cylinder connected to one tractor remote outlet. The 9JYY-4.5 uses two fully independent hydraulic circuits — each connected to a separate tractor SCV outlet, each controlling one side of the dual pickup arm system. This is not a redundancy feature added as an afterthought; it's the primary design decision that enables the machine's combination of high payload, wide bale range, and fast cycle times at commercial scale.
When the pickup arm on one side encounters greater bale resistance — from an unusually dense silage bale or from a bale lying at a slight angle — the circuit on that side can hold higher pressure without affecting the opposing arm. A single-circuit system would pressure-equalize across both arms, causing the lighter side to over-extend or the heavier side to under-lift. The independent circuit architecture keeps each arm precisely at the load it needs.
On open fields where bales are scattered in two rows, the dual circuit enables loading a bale from each side of the machine simultaneously rather than sequentially. This cuts the loading cycle time nearly in half on appropriate field layouts — a time advantage that compounds across hundreds of trips per season on large commercial operations.
If one hydraulic circuit develops a hose failure or fitting leak during harvest, the machine continues operating on the remaining circuit — picking up bales from one side at reduced rate rather than shutting down entirely. In a 10-day harvest window where downtime costs are measured in crop quality and contract deadlines, this operational resilience has real economic value.
Your tractor must have at least two rear SCV (selective control valve) outlets, each capable of supplying ≥16 MPa working pressure with adequate hydraulic flow (minimum 25–30 L/min per circuit). Verify your tractor's SCV count in the operator manual before ordering. Most 68–100 HP row-crop and utility tractors have 2 to 4 rear SCVs. If your tractor has only one SCV, the 9JYY-2.5 single-circuit model is the appropriate choice.
1,000–1,400 mm Bale Diameter Compatibility: What Your Fleet Can Now Use
The 9JYY-4.5's pickup arm cradle geometry is designed for the full 1,000–1,400 mm round bale diameter range produced by commercial round balers across the U.S. fleet — from compact 40-inch balers through standard 5-foot balers to large 5×6 commercial models. This matters for custom contractors and hay buyers who work with multiple client farms running different baler brands and configurations.
| Bale Configuration | Typical Weight Range | Bales at 4,500 kg | Common Crop / Baler Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ø 1,000 mm × L 1,000 mm | 300–450 kg | 10–15 bales | Dry hay, straw — compact utility balers |
| Ø 1,200 mm × L 1,200 mm | 450–700 kg | 6–10 bales | Alfalfa, mixed grass — standard mid-range balers |
| Ø 1,300 mm × L 1,300 mm | 600–900 kg | 5–7 bales | Commercial alfalfa, coastal bermuda — most U.S. commercial balers |
| Ø 1,400 mm × L 1,500 mm | 800–1,200 kg | 3–5 bales | High-moisture corn silage, heavy coastal — large commercial balers |
Four Operations Where the 9JYY-4.5 Changes the Economics
Long-Distance Commercial Hay Resale and Export
Large hay producers in Texas, Idaho, and California who wholesale bales to feedlots, dairies, and export consolidators need to stack 200 to 400 bales at a time into truck-accessible stack yards for semi loading. At 6 to 9 bales per trip, the 9JYY-4.5 processes a 300-bale harvest field into a consolidated stack yard in 35 to 50 trips versus 100+ trips with a loader tractor. The dual-axle platform sustains 40 km/h on paved farm roads between distant field and loading yard without the bounce and sway that single-axle transport equipment produces on loaded highway-speed runs.
Commercial Dairy Hay Logistics — Weekly Barn Restocking
Large dairy operations milking 500 to 1,500+ head consume hay in volumes that require organized barn restocking once or twice per week from outlying field stack yards. Moving 40 to 60 bales per restocking cycle with a loader tractor takes half a day. The 9JYY-4.5 completes the same job in 6 to 8 trips — under two hours behind a 70 HP chore tractor that would otherwise be idle during the mid-week period between field operations. Wisconsin and Minnesota dairy operations running 300+ acres of alfalfa consistently report the 9JYY-4.5 reducing their weekly barn restocking from 4 to 5 hours to under 2 hours.
Custom Baling Contractor Fleet Operations
Custom baling contractors operating across multiple client farms per week face two scheduling constraints simultaneously: getting the baler off each client's field fast enough to make the next commitment, and leaving each field clear of bales before invoicing. The 9JYY-4.5 running on a separate tractor clears bales from the field at a rate that stays ahead of even the fastest commercial balers. Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas contractors who made the upgrade from single-axle equipment report their average time-on-client-field dropping by 30 to 40 percent per engagement — which translates directly to more seasonal contract acres without adding equipment or operators.
Large Cattle Ranch Winter Bale Distribution
Beef cow-calf operations in North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana that winter-feed 300 to 800 head across multiple large pastures distribute 10 to 30 bales per feeding event, often across pasture roads that span several miles. At 9 bales per trip, the 9JYY-4.5 covers a 25-bale distribution in 3 trips instead of 25 loader trips — reducing the daily feeding labor from 3 to 4 hours to under one hour on large ranches. The four-wheel dual-axle platform handles rough ranch road conditions with a stability margin that single-axle transporters cannot match when fully loaded on unimproved gravel and dirt roads at speed.
The 6,750 mm → 2,900 mm Fold: How Transport Mode Works
The largest practical design challenge for a machine with a 6,750 mm (22.1 ft) deployed working width is road transit between fields and storage sites. The 9JYY-4.5's pickup arms fold inward and upward hydraulically via the tractor's SCV controls, reducing the transport footprint to 2,900 mm (9.5 ft) width and 3,300 mm (10.8 ft) height — within the standard 10-ft agricultural implement width in most U.S. states without an oversize permit.
- Pickup arms extended to full working width
- 6,750 mm lateral reach — approach bales from either side
- 1,750 mm height — below fence line clearance
- Both hydraulic circuits active for loading
- Arms folded inward and locked hydraulically
- 9.5 ft transport width — most state roads without a permit
- 10.8 ft height — verify clearance under power lines and bridges
- Arms lock in transit position via mechanical pin before road use
The fold cycle takes approximately 60 to 90 seconds from the tractor cab once the operator is practiced. Insert the mechanical lock pin in the folded position before road transit — hydraulic pressure alone must not be relied on to hold the arms in the folded configuration during road travel. The U.S. support team walks through the fold-and-lock procedure at the time of delivery setup confirmation.
9JYY-2.5 vs 9JYY-4.5: Which Hauler Fits Your Operation?
Both machines solve the same fundamental problem — self-loading bale transport with a single operator from the tractor cab — but they are not interchangeable. The selection criteria are straightforward:
| Factor | 9JYY-2.5 | 9JYY-4.5 (This Model) |
|---|---|---|
| Payload | 2,500 kg | 4,500 kg |
| Bales per trip (avg.) | 3–4 | 6–9 |
| Axle configuration | Single axle, 2-wheel | Dual axle, 4-wheel |
| Hydraulic system | Single circuit (1 SCV) | Dual independent (2 SCVs) |
| Bale diameter range | 1,300 mm only | 1,000–1,400 mm |
| Min. tractor power | ≥20 kW (≈27 HP) | ≥50 kW (≈68 HP) |
| Machine weight | 1,165 kg | 3,240 kg |
| Idéal pour | 100–300 ac farms, compact tractor | 300–1,000+ ac, commercial / contractor |
Tractor Requirements at ≥50 kW: What "68 HP Minimum" Actually Means
The 50 kW minimum does not mean a 68 HP tractor is the ideal match — it means 68 HP is the floor where the dual hydraulic circuits can be powered at rated pressure (≥16 MPa) while also maintaining drawbar pull for loaded transit at 40 km/h on a grade. The practical sweet spot is 70 to 100 HP, which is the power range of the mid-range row-crop and utility tractors already common on commercial hay farms and custom baling fleets in the U.S.
| Use Case | Recommended HP | Compatible Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Light bales, flat terrain, short haul | 68–75 HP | Kubota M7060, JD 5075E, NH Workmaster 75 |
| Mixed bale weights, rolling terrain, commercial hay | 75–100 HP | JD 6105E, Case IH Farmall 90C, Massey 5711, NH T5.100 |
| Heavy silage bales, sustained grade transit, high cycle | 100–130 HP | JD 6130M, Case IH Maxxum 110, NH T6.120, Kubota M108S |
Required: standard agricultural drawbar hitch, two rear SCV outlets (minimum), adequate hydraulic flow (25–30 L/min per circuit). Not required: PTO shaft connection, front hitch, front PTO, 3-point hitch. The 9JYY-4.5 uses only the drawbar and rear hydraulic remotes.
Building the Complete Hay Logistics System
The 9JYY-4.5 operates at the end of the harvest chain — after the rake, after the baler, at the logistics step. Optimizing the full chain means the upstream equipment needs to keep pace with the transporter's capacity. At 6 to 9 bales per trip, the 9JYY-4.5 can clear a field faster than a single commercial round baler can drop bales on most large fields. This means a single 9JYY-4.5 operator paired with a single baler can maintain a clear field without running ahead of the baling operation — the parallel workflow that large operations use to keep both pieces of equipment in continuous motion.
Notre round baler lineup includes models from 40 HP mini balers through commercial 1.25-meter and 2.24-meter balers producing the 1,000–1,400 mm diameter bales the 9JYY-4.5 is designed to carry. Matching your baler's output bale size to the 9JYY-4.5's cradle range before purchasing is the most important pre-purchase verification step.
Windrow consistency from your rake directly affects bale weight uniformity — consistent bales simplify the 9JYY-4.5 payload planning and reduce the risk of loading one overweight bale that pushes the trip over the 4,500 kg rating. Our hay rake lineup includes models for fields from 5 to 12 meters wide, producing uniform windrows suited to commercial bale diameters.
The round baler driving into those windrows operates a PTO driveline at continuous high torque. A correctly rated heavy-duty agricultural drive gearbox in the baler's driveline protects the pickup rotor and bale chamber drive from the torque spikes generated when a dense, uniform windrow rushes into the pickup at full commercial ground speed — keeping your baling operation running at full pace so the 9JYY-4.5 always has bales to collect.

Foire aux questions
My tractor has only one SCV outlet. Can I run the 9JYY-4.5?
No — the dual hydraulic drive requires two independent SCV outlets. With only one SCV, neither arm can develop the simultaneous pressure needed for full-capacity loading. For single-SCV tractors, the 9JYY-2.5 single-circuit model is the correct choice.
How long does the arm-fold operation take?
60 to 90 seconds from cab controls once practiced. Insert the mechanical arm-lock pin before road transit — do not rely on hydraulic pressure alone to hold the fold position. The lock pins are rated for road transit loads and are part of the standard delivery package.
What hydraulic flow rate does my tractor need?
Minimum 25–30 L/min per circuit (50–60 L/min total) at ≥16 MPa working pressure. Most 68–100 HP tractors with two rear SCVs deliver adequate flow. Verify in your tractor's hydraulic system specification sheet. If flow is at the lower limit, loading cycle times will increase but the machine will still function.
Can the 9JYY-4.5 handle net-wrapped or film-wrapped silage bales?
Yes — the smooth curved cradles are designed to avoid snagging or puncturing wrap material. The dual-circuit loading provides smooth, controlled lift without the jerking motion that can stress wrap seams. Inspect each bale for protruding wire ends or sharp debris before loading to prevent cradle or wrap damage.
Does the 3,300 mm transport height require an oversize permit?
FMCSA standard agricultural implement height limit is 13.5 ft (4,115 mm) for most federal highways. At 3,300 mm (10.8 ft), the 9JYY-4.5 is well within standard limits on most roads. However, verify clearance under specific power lines, bridge underpasses, and low-clearance agricultural structures on your regular transit route before first use.
Is the 9JYY-4.5 suitable for corn silage bales specifically?
Yes, but with important weight caution. Corn silage bales at 1,400 mm diameter and high moisture can weigh 1,000–1,200 kg each, which means maximum 3 to 4 bales per trip at the 4,500 kg limit. Never load more bales than the weight rating regardless of available bed space. At maximum payload, reduce transit speed to 30 km/h on unpaved surfaces for additional braking safety margin.
What maintenance does the dual hydraulic system require?
Inspect both hydraulic circuits (all hoses, fittings, and cylinder rod seals) every 50 operating hours or at each season start. Regrease all arm-pivot bearings via zerk fittings with NLGI-2 grease. Check arm-fold lock pin condition and replace any bent or worn pins before they are used under load. Use ISO VG 46 or VG 68 hydraulic fluid as specified in your tractor's manual.
How does freight and assembly work for the 9JYY-4.5?
Domestic U.S. freight from the California warehouse runs 8 to 14 business days. The 9JYY-4.5 is partially disassembled for transit. On-farm assembly of the dual hydraulic connections, arm-fold mechanism, and lighting circuit takes approximately 2 to 3 hours for two people using the illustrated assembly guide. The U.S. team walks through the dual-circuit connection and fold-test procedure by phone at no charge on delivery day.
Commercial Operators: Six Season Reports
★★★★★
We export coastal bermuda and stargrass to Mexico and the feedlot trade — 800 to 1,000 bales per season across multiple fields a mile apart. The 9JYY-4.5 moves 8 bales per trip at road speed between the outlying fields and our truck-loading yard. Field-to-truck loading now takes three days instead of eight. The dual-circuit system handled our 1,300 and 1,400 mm balers from different seasons without any cradle adjustment. Paired with a JD 6105E at 105 HP — works without any hydraulic strain.
★★★★★
Large alfalfa hay export operation in the Magic Valley — 1,100 acres, three cuttings, shipping to the Pacific Northwest dairy market. The 9JYY-4.5 replaced three different single-axle approaches we tried over the years. The four-wheel stability at road speed on Idaho rural highways is noticeably better — loaded, it tracks straight without the pendulum sway we got from single-axle equipment. The dual-circuit loading from both sides cuts field cycle time significantly on open fields where we can approach bales from alternating rows.
★★★★★
Custom baling operation across 22 client farms in the Lancaster and Chester County area. The 9JYY-4.5 allowed me to take on four additional client farms this season compared to last year without adding equipment or operators. Each job now clears faster — average time on each client's property dropped by almost 40 percent. The fold cycle is quick once practiced, and road transit between nearby client farms at 40 km/h makes the inter-farm moves manageable within the day's schedule.
★★★★★
600-cow dairy operation milking on alfalfa and corn silage. The 9JYY-4.5 handles both — alfalfa at 1,300 mm for 7 to 8 bales per trip and silage at 1,400 mm for 3 to 4 bales per trip, with no cradle change between them. Weekly barn restocking from our stack yard dropped from 4 to 5 hours to under 2 hours. New Holland T6.120 powers both circuits without complaint. Would recommend without reservation to any large dairy hay operation.
★★★★☆
700 acres of brome and alfalfa hay with a custom route serving about 15 client farms. The 9JYY-4.5 cuts my field clearing time in half versus the single-axle trailer I ran before. Four stars because the fold-to-transport procedure requires the mechanical lock pin and it took me two or three sessions to establish it as a reliable habit before road moves. Once it's part of the routine, it's fast. The dual circuit is genuinely useful in field layouts where bales run in two parallel rows — both arms loading at once is noticeably faster.
★★★★★
Beef cow-calf operation with 420 head on 2,800 acres of native grass range — we put up about 850 round bales per year and distribute daily during winter feeding. Before the 9JYY-4.5, winter distribution across three grazing pastures took most of a morning. Now it's 2 to 3 trips per pasture, done in under 90 minutes. The four-wheel platform handles our ranch roads — gravel, ruts, and frozen ground — with a stability that the single-axle equipment we rented previously could not match at full load. U.S. parts support has been very responsive. Well-built machine.
