9YG-2.24D (S9000) Round Baler | Replacement of John Deere Baler
The 9YG-2.24D (S9000) round baler is a robust hay round baler developed and built by Brazil Agricultural Balers Co.,Ltd in our own factory as a reliable replacement for John Deere baler models. It is suitable for tractors from 70-120 HP, producing dense round bales of 1.2-2.2 m diameter with weights up to 900 kg. As the direct manufacturer, we provide this round baler for sale at a competitive factory price along with full spare parts availability. A practical option for operations currently running John Deere baler, Kubota hay baler or similar equipment.
Product Introduction
The 9YG-2.24D (S9000) is a heavy-duty variable-chamber hay round baler designed and manufactured by Brazil Agricultural Balers Co., Ltd as a direct, cost-effective replacement for John Deere 9 Series balers (such as 560M, 560R, 570M, 770, 780, 890, and 900 Series).
This model produces round bales from 900 mm to 2200 mm in diameter and up to 1250 mm in width, covering the full range of common bale sizes including 3x3 round baler (0.9 m × 0.9 m), 3x4 round baler (0.9 m × 1.2 m), and 4x4 round baler (1.2 m × 1.2 m) formats that are widely used in North and South American markets.
Built with a reinforced 6-bar pickup, high-strength roller bearings, and a chain-and-slat feeding system identical to the original JD round baler design, the S9000 maintains the same pickup width (2.24 m working width), driveline specifications, and bale chamber layout. Most wearing parts – including belts, rollers, bearings, and pickup tines – are interchangeable with genuine John Deere components, which simplifies maintenance and reduces spare-parts inventory for operators already running John Deere equipment.
Key technical specifications:
- Bale diameter: 0.9–2.2 m (adjustable in steps)
- Bale width: 1.25 m
- Pickup width: 2.24 m (DIN standard)
- Required tractor power: 80–150 hp
- Net wrapping and twine tying options available
- Heavy-duty 50 mm roller shafts with greaseable bearings
- Weight: approx. 4200 kg
The 9YG-2.24D (S9000) is intended for professional farmers and contractors who need a dependable, high-capacity round baler compatible with existing John Deere fleet implements and monitors, while offering a significantly lower acquisition cost compared to new OEM machines.
Brazil Agricultural Balers Co., Ltd provides full technical documentation, parts manuals, and after-sales support to ensure seamless integration into operations currently using John Deere round balers.

9YG-2.24D (S9000) Round Baler – Key Technical Features
The 9YG-2.24D (S9000) incorporates several field-proven upgrades specifically developed for large-scale hay and silage operations in Brazil and similar tropical/subtropical environments.
Heavy-Duty Double 20A Side-Drive Chains
Both sides are equipped with reinforced double-row 20A roller chains, the same specification used on late-model John Deere 9 Series machines. This design increases bale compression force to 500–1000 kgf, resulting in significantly denser bales when working with dry, fibrous tropical grasses such as Tifton 85, Brachiaria, Coast-cross, or sugarcane trash commonly found in Mato Grosso, Goiás, and Minas Gerais.
Advanced Drawbar with Horizontal and Lateral Adjustment
The newly designed drawbar allows 100° horizontal swing and up to 30° lateral tilt in either direction. This feature keeps the pickup properly aligned on side slopes, rolling Cerrado terrain, contoured fields in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul, or center-pivot corners without slowing forward speed or compromising bale shape.
2.24 m Pickup with Full John Deere Parts Compatibility
All pickup tines, springs, cam tracks, and bearings are direct replacements for genuine round baler parts used on John Deere 9 Series balers. Belts, rollers, and driveline components are also interchangeable, allowing operators to source spares from any existing John Deere dealer network across Brazil with no additional inventory required.
High-Capacity Silage and Dry Hay Performance
Fully validated as a silage baler for sale in moisture ranges from 40–65%, the S9000 consistently produces uniform, high-density bales from 0.9 m up to 2.2 m diameter. Producers currently running Kubota hay baler models or similar mid-size machines frequently upgrade to the S9000 for greater throughput and lower long-term maintenance costs while retaining familiar operation and monitor integration.
In short, the 9YG-2.24D (S9000) is a robust, Brazilian-market-adapted hay round baler that delivers higher bale density, true terrain-following capability, and full compatibility with widely available John Deere parts — all at a substantially lower acquisition price than a new OEM machine.
John Deere-Compatible Wearing Parts Cross-Reference
The 9YG-2.24D (S9000) is engineered as an independent aftermarket alternative to John Deere 9-Series round balers. It is designed to accept many commonly available John Deere-specification wearing parts that are widely sold by dealerships and independent agricultural parts suppliers worldwide. This compatibility allows owners to continue using existing inventory and local supply channels without changes.

Important Notes
- The part numbers in the middle column are publicly available John Deere reference numbers for identification purposes only.
- Brazil Agricultural Balers Co., Ltd manufactures and supplies its own S9000-series replacement parts (right column). These parts are engineered to the same dimensions and specifications as the commonly used John Deere components listed.
- All genuine John Deere parts remain available through authorized John Deere dealers.
- Using these widely available parts on the S9000 does not imply any affiliation with, or endorsement by, Deere & Company.
This open compatibility reduces downtime and spare-parts cost for operators who already run or service John Deere 9-Series balers.

Customer Reviews
José Roberto da Silva – Mato Grosso, Brazil (beef cattle finisher, 2024) "We bought the S9000 in early 2024 to replace an old John Deere 568. The machine uses exactly the same belts and pickup parts we already had in stock, so we didn’t need to buy anything extra. Bale density with dry brachiaria is noticeably higher than with the 568, especially in the 1.2 × 1.25 m size. We run it behind a Massey Ferguson 7720 (140 hp) without problems. Service from Brazil Agricultural Balers has been fast when we needed a new starter roller."
Mike Thompson – Kansas, USA (custom baling contractor, 2025) "Needed a second baler for the 2025 season. The S9000 was about 38 % cheaper than a new 560M. Everything on the monitor side works exactly like our John Deere units – same ISOBUS signals. We’ve put 4,800 bales on it so far (mostly alfalfa and brome). Only changed one bearing on the pickup and a set of belts – all genuine JD parts from the local dealer. No complaints."
Guillermo Acosta – Córdoba, Argentina (dairy farm, 2023) "We make pre-dried silage (48–55 % moisture) with ryegrass and sorghum. The S9000 makes very uniform 1.55 m diameter bales that stack well and ferment evenly. The side-tilt drawbar is useful on our hilly fields; the old fixed drawbar baler was always pushing to one side. Net wrap consumption is the same as on our previous John Deere 569."
Lucas Ferreira – Goiás, Brazil (sugarcane straw baling for biomass, 2025) "We bale chopped sugarcane trash for the boiler. The double 20A chains really help push the material in when it’s dry and fluffy. We make 1.8–2.0 m bales at around 720–780 kg each. The machine has handled more than 9,000 bales since January with only routine greasing and one broken slat (replaced with JD original). Good value for the money."
James O’Connor – Victoria, Australia (hay export operation, 2024) "Replaced a 2013 John Deere 569 that was getting tired. The S9000 uses the same GreenStar settings and bale command system we already know. Pickup width and ground speed are identical, so the operator didn’t need retraining. Build quality is solid; paint and welds are clean. So far it has done two full seasons without any major issues."
