How Our Forage Baler Turns Your Field into Premium Feed

Straw Collection and Baling Stage
A tractor pulls the baler to operate in the field. The pickup device of the baler picks up the straw (or forage) scattered on the ground and feeds it into the baling chamber of the baler. Components such as rollers and chains in the baling chamber rotate to continuously wind and compress the straw, gradually forming a tight cylindrical bale. The bale in the upper part of the diagram is in the process of being rolled, and the arrows indicate the direction of straw conveyance and bale rotation.
Bale Forming and Discharging Stage
When the diameter of the bale reaches the set size, the twine device of the baler will automatically tie the bale firmly. Subsequently, the rear door of the baling chamber opens, and the formed bale is discharged, completing one baling operation. The bale in the lower part of the diagram has been formed, and the arrow indicates the direction of bale discharge. The baler can continue to make the next bale.

Engineered for Superior Silage Quality and Reliability

Forage Baler
Amid the growing urgency for straw removal from fields and its utilization as feed, our baler addresses key industry pain points through technological breakthroughs, delivering operational efficiency and quality that far outperform competitors. To tackle the issues of high impurities and low feed intake rate in traditional models, we have developed an innovative “three-stage crushing, three-stage (rubbing), and five-stage soil removal” process. This ensures that the feed intake rate of straw feed for cattle and sheep reaches over 97%, while most competitors’ products only maintain an intake rate of around 85%, and some small and medium-sized brands even fall below 70%.
Our independently developed core knotter has completely resolved the “chokepoint” challenge, achieving a stable knotting success rate of 99.8%. Compared with brands relying on imported knotters, this not only eliminates the problem of long accessory procurement cycles but also reduces the rope jamming failure rate from the industry average of 3% to below 0.5%. Equipped with a 2.26-meter widened pickup width and a dual-crank compression mechanism, the baler boasts a miss-pick rate of less than 1% and an hourly operational capacity of 8-15 mu (1 mu ≈ 0.0667 hectares), significantly exceeding the 5-10 mu of similar models. Even when dealing with tall-stalk crops, it can achieve highly efficient operation with “one sweep to collect all”.
Our competitive advantages are further reflected in full-cycle services and cost control, ensuring users get good value for their money and a hassle-free user experience. Leveraging over 200 service outlets nationwide and the Beidou Operation Tracking Platform, we have innovated the “1+N” proactive service model, achieving a 92% on-site arrival rate within 5 hours of after-sales requests—far higher than the industry average response time of 6-8 hours. This completely eliminates users’ concerns about machine downtime during the busy operation season.
In terms of cost, as a key recommended product in the national subsidy catalog, users can enjoy a maximum discount of 30% when combined with provincial subsidies. The investment payback period is only 1.8 operation seasons, nearly half a cycle shorter than that of brands like Zoomlion and Starlight. The machine body is made of 8mm high-strength structural steel, 2mm thicker than that of ordinary models. Combined with a closed transmission system, its service life is extended to over 8 years, and the residual value rate of used machines is 8 percentage points higher than the industry average. Whether for large-scale farms or small and medium-sized farmers, our baler enables the maximization of long-term benefits.

Success Stories: Let Data Prove Effectiveness

Case 1: 3,000-Mu Large-Scale Farm – Dual Leap in Efficiency and Revenue
User Pain Points: An ecological farm in Weifang, Shandong Province, mainly engages in wheat-corn rotation and beef cattle breeding. It produces 1,200 tons of straw annually that needs field removal and processing. The former equipment had low efficiency, with a straw feed intake rate of only 82%, leading to severe straw waste and high breeding costs.

Core Results:

– Doubled Efficiency: The hourly operation capacity reaches 10-12 mu (1 mu ≈ 0.0667 hectares). The straw processing cycle for 3,000 mu is shortened from 28 days to 15 days, with a miss-pick rate of 0.8%, recovering an additional 9.6 tons of straw annually.

– Upgraded Feed Quality: The “three-stage crushing, three-stage rubbing, five-stage soil removal” process increases the feed intake rate to 97.5%. For 500 beef cattle, it saves 87,600 yuan in feed costs annually and brings an additional 125,000 yuan in revenue from accelerated slaughter.

– Cost Optimization: With a 30% subsidy, the investment payback period is only 1.6 operation seasons, 0.7 seasons shorter than Zoomlion models. Maintenance costs are reduced by 65%.

User Review: “Only 3 people are needed to operate 2 machines. We save nearly 100,000 yuan annually in labor and transportation costs, and the bales can be directly sent to the farm without secondary processing.” – General Manager Li

Case 2: Small and Medium-Sized Breeder with 200 Mu – Straw Turned into Gold, Costs Significantly Reduced
User Pain Points: Farmer Zhang from Lüliang, Shanxi Province, manages 200 mu of corn planting and 50 beef cattle. Previously, he relied on manual labor and small equipment for straw processing, which was time-consuming. The straw feed intake rate was only 70%, resulting in high breeding costs.

Core Results:

– Dramatically Reduced Labor: Straw processing for 200 mu is shortened from 3 days (15 people) to 1 day (2 people). Labor costs drop from 4,500 yuan to 600 yuan, a reduction of 86.7%.

– Improved Breeding Benefits: The feed intake rate rises to 97%, saving 54,000 yuan in feed costs and 12,000 yuan in veterinary fees annually. Each beef cattle gains an additional 8 kg at slaughter, bringing 20,000 yuan in extra revenue.

– Controllable Investment: With subsidies, the investment payback period is 1.9 operation seasons. The equipment has a service life of over 8 years, and its used residual value rate is 8 percentage points higher than the industry average.

User Review: “The machine handles all straw once turned on. Cattle love the feed and grow fast. My breeding costs have decreased a lot this year – this equipment is definitely a wise buy!” – Farmer Zhang

Common Everyday Problems

Balers are prone to various problems during the baling operation of materials such as forage grass and straw, due to factors like operation issues, material characteristics, and component wear. Below is a compilation of frequently asked questions (FAQs) based on the core links of equipment operation.

How to Troubleshoot and Address Overheating in Hydraulic Systems?

Check the hydraulic oil level and top it up to 10mm below the upper limit of the oil level gauge. Replace the ISO VG46 anti-wear hydraulic oil regularly.
Clean the grass clippings on the surface of the radiator using compressed air.
Replace the oil pump promptly if it is damaged.
Check the oil temperature every 50 hours to ensure it does not exceed 80℃, and avoid long-term full-load operation.

How to Troubleshoot Abnormal Vibration and Unusual Noise During Equipment Operation?

Adjust the chain tension to allow 10 – 15mm of vertical movement, and replace aged belts.
Tighten the spring tooth bolts (with a torque value of 25 – 30N・m) and replace damaged bearings.
Add No. 3 lithium – based grease to the knotter in accordance with the standard for each work shift.
After shutting down the equipment, check the fasteners of each component one by one and tighten any loose parts in a timely manner.

How to Adjust a Picker with Severe Hay Leakage?

Adjust the ground clearance of the picker to 3-5 cm.
Clean the weeds tangled on the picker, inspect the spring teeth: straighten any bent ones and replace broken ones, ensuring the length error of the spring teeth does not exceed 2 mm.
Meanwhile, check the tension of the drive chain to ensure the picker maintains a stable rotational speed.

How to Resolve Frequent Compression Chamber Blockages During Operations?

Cut long materials to a length of less than 30cm in advance and air-dry them to reduce humidity.
Reduce the traveling speed of the tractor to decrease the feeding amount.
Lower the pressure of the hydraulic system to reduce the compression density.
Before operation, clear hard objects such as stones and iron wires from the site, and adjust the ground clearance of the picker to 3-5cm to avoid rolling in soil.
