Manufactured by Brazil Agricultural Balers Co.,Ltd in our facility in Goiás, this model produces consistent 1.25 m × 1.20 m cylindrical bales with an average dry-matter bale weight of 280–450 kg, depending on crop conditions and moisture.

Key components including rollers, bearings (mostly NSK/NTN), and heavy-duty endless belts are sourced from the same suppliers used by major OEM brands, ensuring long service life under typical Brazilian forage conditions.
Standard equipment includes net wrap system, hydraulic pickup lift, and a 540 rpm PTO driveline with shear-bolt protection. The baler operates efficiently with tractors from 50–80 hp, making it suitable for most family farms in Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Rio Grande do Sul.

No modification, no adapter plates required — remove the old John Deere baler and install the 9YG-1.25 in less than 2 hours.

The new traction device features the industry’s largest 1000 mm torsion angle, achieving perfect horizontal and lateral adjustment with maximum side tilt limit of 30°. This design completely eliminates missed pickup and side drift even on slopes — a common pain point with traditional round balers in high-yield Brazilian maize fields.

The driver display and baler controller communicate via CAN bus for real-time data transmission and stable signal. Auxiliary injection-molded cable harness connects the tractor and baler electrically in seconds — whole vehicle wiring layout is clean and reliable.
- Factory Full-Load Stationary Corn Stalk Validation Every 9YG-1.25 undergoes genuine corn stalk stationary testing at our Goiás plant before shipment. Engineers verify bale formation, density consistency, net-wrap tension and knotter performance under simulated field conditions to guarantee zero issues upon delivery.
- Dramatically Reduced Operating & Maintenance Costs Genuine spare parts priced 40–60% lower than original John Deere components while using the same NSK/NTN bearings and European-standard belts. Critical wear parts (belts, pickup tines, knotter bills) are stocked year-round in Goiânia warehouse with 24–48 hour delivery across Brazil.
- Operator-Friendly Design for Family Farms & Contractors Simple four-step workflow: pickup → bale → net-wrap → eject. Intuitive monitor displays real-time bale diameter and density. Ideal for family operations and custom baling teams in Goiás, Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul.
The 9YG-1.25 delivers John Deere-level performance at a fraction of the ownership cost — the smartest choice for Brazilian farmers who demand reliability, corn-stalk capability and fast ROI.

Customer Testimonials
1. José Ribas – Lavras, Minas Gerais “Swapped my 12-year-old John Deere 568 directly with the 9YG-1.25 in February 2025. Same pickup width, same bolts, no welding needed. This season I baled 8,200 corn-stover bales with zero belt issues. Spare parts cost me 58 % less than original Deere prices. Best decision I made this year.”
2. Carlos Eduardo Mendes – Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul “We run two 9YG-1.25 units behind John Deere 5075E (75 hp) tractors. Average 62 bales/hour in Brachiaria and 48 bales/hour in corn stalks. The hammer-claw pickup cleans the field better than my neighbour’s original 558. Parts arrived in 36 hours from Goiânia when I needed new bearings.”
3. Família Hoffmann – Não-Me-Toque, Rio Grande do Sul “Bought the first unit in October 2024 for oat and ryegrass hay. Already produced 14,300 bales. Net-wrap system works perfectly with imported and local nets. Total spare parts expense in 12 months: R$ 4,180 versus R$ 11,600 we used to pay for the green baler. Now we ordered a second 9YG-1.25.”
4. Leandro Silva – Uberlândia, Minas Gerais “I was afraid of ‘Chinese quality’, but after seeing the machine working at a friend’s farm I bought one. 6 months ago. Same NSK bearings, same belt brand as original, but price is almost half. I saved enough on the baler to buy an extra trailer. Service team speaks Portuguese and answers WhatsApp in minutes.”
5. Cooperativa Agropecuária Vale do Paranaíba – Patos de Minas, MG “Purchased 5 units in 2025 for custom baling service. All mounted on John Deere 5085E tractors. Average savings per machine compared to buying new original balers: R$ 140,000. Customers cannot see any difference in bale shape and density. We are completely satisfied.”
Frequently Asked Questions – 9YG-1.25 Type Round Baler
Q1: Can the 9YG-1.25 directly replace my old John Deere 458, 468, 558 or 568 without any modification? Yes, 100 %. Same pickup width (2.0 m), same roller spacing, same belt type and length, same lower hitch pins and PTO position. You simply unhook the old baler and hook up the 9YG-1.25 – no welding, no adapters, no spacer kits needed.
Q2: Will it work with my tractor if it’s less than 100 hp? Absolutely. The baler runs perfectly from 68 hp upwards. Most of our customers use John Deere 5075E, 5085E, 5090E, 6100J, 6115J and Massey Ferguson 4275/4283 with excellent results.
Q3: Is the bale quality and density the same as the original John Deere? In side-by-side tests in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul show identical bale shape, same 115–200 kg/m³ density, and perfect performance with the same wrappers (John Deere, Kuhn, Arcusin, etc.).
Q4: How long is the warranty and where do I get service it? 2-year factory warranty (or 15,000 bales, whichever comes first). We have Portuguese-speaking technicians in Goiânia-GO and mobile service available in MG, SP, PR, RS and MT. Most repairs are done on-farm.
