This means faster surface drying but also faster leaf damage when the crop is too dry at raking or pickup. The fine structure packs differently in the bale chamber \u2014 density settings must be adjusted for bermudagrass versus coarser crops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; background: #edf8e4; border-left: 4px solid #2a6010; padding: 11px 14px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0;\">\n<div style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; color: #0a2004; margin-bottom: 4px;\">Rapid moisture response<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; margin: 0; color: #444; line-height: 1.6;\">The fine stem absorbs and releases moisture faster than thick-stem crops. This means bermudagrass dries faster on sunny days \u2014 but also re-wets faster when humidity rises in the evening. The practical baling window can be as narrow as 3 hours in peak summer Southeast conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; background: #edf8e4; border-left: 4px solid #2a6010; padding: 11px 14px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0;\">\n<div style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; color: #0a2004; margin-bottom: 4px;\">Cutting frequency<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; margin: 0; color: #444; line-height: 1.6;\">Bermudagrass is cut every 4\u20136 weeks through the growing season in the Southeast \u2014 up to 6\u20137 cuttings per year in south Texas and Florida. Each cutting requires its own curing window management. The high cutting frequency makes scheduling precision essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; background: #edf8e4; border-left: 4px solid #2a6010; padding: 11px 14px; border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0;\">\n<div style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 13px; color: #0a2004; margin-bottom: 4px;\">Premium horse hay market<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; margin: 0; color: #444; line-height: 1.6;\">Southeast bermudagrass in small square bale format is a premium horse hay in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.

Before 13:00, the overnight re-wetting from the previous dew cycle has not fully evaporated; after 16:30, humidity rises ahead of afternoon storm development and surface re-wetting begins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 14px;\">Managing this window requires: pre-noon preparation (rake ready, baler pre-checked, tractor fuelled) so baling can begin precisely at 13:00; a helper to manage bale collection while baling continues without interruption; and a hard stop at 16:30 regardless of how much windrow remains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 28px;\">For bermudagrass production in a 3-hour window: the 9YF-2200 in standard summer conditions produces approximately 60\u201380 bales per hour at correct forward speed for bermudagrass windrows. In 3 hours: 180\u2013240 bales. Plan the cutting area so that a 3-hour session can complete each cutting in 1\u20132 sessions \u2014 do not cut more area than 480 bales worth per cutting unless you can complete two sessions on two consecutive afternoons when conditions are good.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 23px; font-weight: 900; color: #080e04; border-left: 5px solid #2a6010; padding-left: 14px; margin: 0 0 14px;\">Rake Settings and Windrow Preparation for Bermudagrass<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border-radius: 9px; box-shadow: 0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,0.12); margin: 0 0 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/foragebaler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9YF-2200S-square-baler-1.webp\" alt=\"9YF-2200S square baler approaching a bermudagrass windrow \u2014 narrower windrows at 60 to 70 percent of the pickup width improve core drying speed in bermudagrass compared to full-width windrows because the higher surface-area-to-volume ratio in a narrower windrow allows solar radiation and airflow to penetrate more completely to the windrow core during the limited curing time available in Southeast summer conditions\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a6010; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Windrow Width for Bermudagrass<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 14px;\">Rake bermudagrass into windrows at 60\u201370% of the baler pickup width \u2014 narrower than the maximum width used for alfalfa. The reason: bermudagrass fine stems create a denser windrow cross-section than alfalfa at the same width, and narrower windrows allow more complete solar penetration to the windrow core. This 20\u201325% reduction in windrow width can reduce curing time by 3\u20136 hours in humid conditions \u2014 potentially moving the baling window from Day 3 to late Day 2.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; color: #2a6010; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Rake Timing for Leaf Retention<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 14px;\">Rake bermudagrass in the early morning \u2014 06:00\u201309:00 \u2014 when surface moisture is 45\u201360%. At this moisture level, bermudagrass leaves are still pliable and do not shatter at tine contact during raking. Late-morning raking (after 10:00) in hot sunny conditions risks encountering surface moisture below 30%, at which point the fine bermudagrass leaves are extremely brittle and shatter extensively during the raking pass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 28px;\">For wheel rake operation on bermudagrass: set the rake tine tip height to the minimum clearance above the ground that avoids soil pickup \u2014 typically 15\u201320mm in level fields. Bermudagrass typically lies lower than alfalfa after cutting and requires a lower rake tine height to capture the windrow completely without soil contamination. Wheel rake speed should be conservative \u2014 6\u20138 km\/h maximum \u2014 to avoid the fan effect from faster wheel rotation that can blow detached bermudagrass leaves off the swath before they are captured in the windrow.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 23px; font-weight: 900; color: #080e04; border-left: 5px solid #2a6010; padding-left: 14px; margin: 0 0 14px;\">Bale Density Targets by Market<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; margin: 0 0 28px;\">\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px; min-width: 480px;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background: #1a4008; color: #fff;\">\n<th style=\"padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left;\">Market<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 10px 14px; text-align: center;\">Target Bale Weight<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 10px 14px; text-align: left;\">Key Quality Priorities<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"background: #edf8e4;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #a0d870; font-weight: 600;\">Premium horse hay (FL, GA, TX equine)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #a0d870; text-align: center;\">18\u201324kg<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 9px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #a0d870;\">Green colour, low dust, firm knot, consistent weight.

Start with a lower density setting when baling bermudagrass and increase incrementally to target bale weight. Over-tensioning the spring in bermudagrass can cause consistent miss-ties because the very compact, fine-stem bale presents higher ejection resistance than the knotter mechanism experienced in the coarser crop it was adjusted for. Run 10 calibration bales at the start of each bermudagrass season and weigh them to establish the correct tension setting.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 23px; font-weight: 900; color: #080e04; border-left: 5px solid #2a6010; padding-left: 14px; margin: 0 0 14px;\">Common Bermudagrass Quality Problems and Causes<\/h2>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 10px; margin: 0 0 28px;\">\n<div style=\"border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #a0d870; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"background: #1a4008; color: #fff; padding: 9px 16px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">Yellow or Brown Bale Colour<span style=\"font-size: 12px; opacity: 0.7;\">Most common quality complaint<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; padding: 10px 14px; background: #edf8e4; border-right: 1px solid #a0d870; font-size: 13px; color: #333; line-height: 1.65;\"><strong>Causes:<\/strong> baling below 12% moisture when leaves are brittle and have already lost chlorophyll; sun bleaching from extended windrow exposure beyond Day 3; heating after baling from excess moisture; or a combination of late-afternoon baling when the crop has dried well past the optimal window.<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; padding: 10px 14px; background: #f0fae8; font-size: 13px; color: #333; line-height: 1.65;\"><strong>Prevention:<\/strong> bale between 14\u201317% core moisture; do not let bermudagrass sit in the windrow beyond Day 3; bale by 16:30 at the latest; and monitor the afternoon moisture trajectory \u2014 in hot dry conditions the crop can pass through the optimal window in as little as 2 hours.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #a0d870; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"background: #2a5008; color: #fff; padding: 9px 16px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">Dusty or High-Ash Bales<span style=\"font-size: 12px; opacity: 0.7;\">Export and horse market concern<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; padding: 10px 14px; background: #edf8e4; border-right: 1px solid #a0d870; font-size: 13px; color: #333; line-height: 1.65;\"><strong>Causes:<\/strong> pickup height set too low \u2014 tines contact the soil surface and collect soil particles alongside the bermudagrass; raking too aggressively in dry conditions that picks up dry soil crusts from the surface; very dry baling conditions where leaf shatter creates fine particle dust in the bale chamber.<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; padding: 10px 14px; background: #f0fae8; font-size: 13px; color: #333; line-height: 1.65;\"><strong>Prevention:<\/strong> set pickup height to the minimum clearance that avoids soil contact \u2014 typically 25\u201335mm in bermudagrass fields; for export markets requiring ash below 2%, the fan system on the 9YFS-2.2 removes soil particles from the material stream before compression, consistently producing lower-ash bales than standard models in the same conditions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #a0d870; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"background: #1a4008; color: #fff; padding: 9px 16px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">Loose Bales from Fine Stems<span style=\"font-size: 12px; opacity: 0.7;\">Setting adjustment needed<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 200px; padding: 10px 14px; background: #edf8e4; border-right: 1px solid #a0d870; font-size: 13px; color: #333; line-height: 1.65;\"><strong>Causa:<\/strong> density spring setting carried over from a coarser-stem crop (cotton stalk, first-cut alfalfa) is often too low for bermudagrass.

The reasons: lower dew point temperatures in April\u2013May and September\u2013October provide a wider baling window \u2014 typically 5\u20136 hours \u2014 compared to the 3-hour window in July\u2013August. Extended curing time is less critical because overnight re-wetting is less severe. The crop is also at a denser, leafier growth stage in these shoulder seasons. The colour in April and October cuttings is typically better than July\u2013August because lower UV intensity reduces bleaching in the windrow. July\u2013August cuttings are necessary for seasonal production continuity but are more challenging to produce at premium quality than spring and fall cuttings.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"background: #fff; border: 1px solid #90d070; border-radius: 8px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<summary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 15px 20px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; color: #080e04; background: #edf8e4; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">Can I bale bermudagrass on Day 2 morning if surface moisture is low?<span style=\"font-size: 22px; line-height: 1; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: 14px; color: #2a6010;\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding: 16px 20px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.9; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #a8d880;\">Surface dryness in Day 2 morning is not a reliable indicator of core moisture in bermudagrass.

First: yellowing from mild heating \u2014 even at baling moistures of 16\u201318%, a bermudagrass bale stacked in a warm barn in August can reach 45\u201350\u00b0C during initial curing, causing carotenoid breakdown that appears as yellowing. This type of yellowing stabilises after 2\u20133 weeks and the hay is nutritionally acceptable. Prevention: leave bales in a single layer for 48 hours after baling before stacking in summer. Second: yellowing from the baling moisture being too high (above 20%) causing significant heating and some protein breakdown. This yellowing does not stabilise and the hay will show brown spotting and a hay-like smell. The distinction: yellowing-only bales are warm but not hot to the touch; over-moistured bales are hot to the touch within 3\u20135 days and may show visible mold on the ends or sides within 2\u20133 weeks.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"background: #fff; border: 1px solid #90d070; border-radius: 8px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<summary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 15px 20px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; color: #080e04; background: #edf8e4; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">How many cuttings of bermudagrass hay can I expect per year in central Texas?<span style=\"font-size: 22px; line-height: 1; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: 14px; color: #2a6010;\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding: 16px 20px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.9; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #a8d880;\">In central Texas under normal rainfall years, bermudagrass yields 4\u20136 cuttings from May through September on rainfed stands. Irrigated bermudagrass can yield 6\u20138 cuttings from April through October. Each cutting requires 4\u20136 weeks of regrowth before the stand reaches baling quality \u2014 attempting to cut before this regrowth period produces thin, low-yield windrows with poor standability. First cutting in late April or early May establishes the stand quality for the season \u2014 cutting too early before the first cutting is well established produces poor season yields. The highest quality cuttings are typically the second and third (June\u2013July) when the stand is fully established and growth is dense and leafy. Late season cuttings (August\u2013September) may show reduced leaf density and crude protein as the plant prepares for dormancy.

This provides a 4.5\u20136\u00d7 safety factor over the maximum bale weight, which is appropriate for the dynamic load during bale ejection. At higher density settings that produce bales above 26kg for cattle markets: upgrade to 130\u2013140kg rated twine. For export markets that require specific twine types \u2014 some Japanese buyers require sisal twine to avoid plastic contamination risk in feed \u2014 verify your buyer specification before purchasing twine. A key operational note for bermudagrass: the fine stems do not create the same peak ejection load as thick-stem crops, so the standard 110kg twine is rarely the cause of twine breaks in bermudagrass baling. If you are experiencing twine breaks with bermudagrass, the most likely cause is tension disc over-tightening rather than insufficient twine strength \u2014 back off the disc tension by a half-turn and retest before upgrading twine grade.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"background: #fff; border: 1px solid #90d070; border-radius: 8px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<summary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 15px 20px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; color: #080e04; background: #edf8e4; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">Does bermudagrass require a different pickup speed than alfalfa?<span style=\"font-size: 22px; line-height: 1; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: 14px; color: #2a6010;\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding: 16px 20px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.9; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #a8d880;\">Bermudagrass baling typically allows slightly higher forward speed than first-cut alfalfa because the windrow density is lower \u2014 a bermudagrass windrow at the same rake width as alfalfa has significantly less mass per metre length. Standard forward speed for bermudagrass in a well-formed single-pass windrow at 60\u201370% of pickup width: 6\u20138 km\/h on the 9YF-2200. This is 10\u201320% faster than the comfortable speed for heavy first-cut alfalfa. However, bermudagrass is more sensitive to forward speed in terms of leaf loss at the pickup \u2014 in dry conditions below 14% moisture, higher forward speeds increase the tine impact velocity and worsen leaf shattering. In dry-crop conditions (late afternoon when the crop may be below 14%), reduce forward speed to 4\u20135 km\/h to reduce tine impact velocity and minimise leaf loss even though the crop is light enough to handle a higher speed from a plugging-risk standpoint. The goal is to match forward speed to the tine impact requirement for leaf retention as well as to the inlet capacity for blockage prevention.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"background: #fff; border: 1px solid #90d070; border-radius: 8px; overflow: hidden;\">\n<summary style=\"cursor: pointer; padding: 15px 20px; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; color: #080e04; background: #edf8e4; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">Can I bale bermudagrass with a preservative during the June\u2013August window?<span style=\"font-size: 22px; line-height: 1; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: 14px; color: #2a6010;\">+<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding: 16px 20px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.9; color: #333; border-top: 1px solid #a8d880;\">Yes \u2014 hay preservatives (propionic acid or buffered propionic acid) extend the safe baling moisture threshold for bermudagrass from approximately 17% to 19\u201321%, allowing baling to begin slightly earlier in the afternoon window when the crop has not yet fully reached the ideal 14\u201317% range. This is a useful tool during July\u2013August in central Florida or coastal Texas when the window is narrowest and completing the full cutting in one 3-hour session requires starting before the ideal moisture is reached. Apply preservative at the manufacturer rate for the moisture level measured at baling \u2014 under-application provides insufficient protection. Note that some premium horse hay buyers and all export buyers should be asked whether they accept preservative-treated hay before applying.

The outer surface of a small square bale is the face that was in contact with the chamber wall or the previous bale during compression \u2014 this surface is pressed smooth and the grass stems are aligned in a consistent direction. The inner core of the bale has a more random stem orientation from the multiple plunger strokes that built up the bale section by section. This texture difference is structural, not a quality issue. A buyer inspecting the cut end of a bale will see more random stem orientation; looking at the outer face they see the pressed smooth surface. This is the normal appearance of a correctly baled small square bale regardless of crop species.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: 800; color: #080e04; border-left: 5px solid #2a6010; padding-left: 14px; margin: 0 0 16px;\">Get the Right Baler for Your Bermudagrass Operation<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg,#060c02 0%,#0e1c06 55%,#0a1404 100%); border-radius: 12px; padding: 40px 32px; text-align: center; color: #fff;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.85; max-width: 580px; margin: 0 auto 22px; color: rgba(255,255,255,0.88);\">From the 9YF-2200 for domestic horse and cattle markets to the 9YFS-2.2 for export-grade low-ash bermudagrass \u2014 the <a style=\"color: #80d050; font-weight: bold;\" href=\"https:\/\/foragebaler.com\/pt\/product-category\/square-baler\/\">S\u00e9rie 9YF<\/a> covers every bermudagrass market.
