2. Five Key Advantages of the EP Spring Tooth Double-Chamber Square Baler<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

01 \u2014 DOUBLE-CHAMBER OUTPUT<\/p>\n

Twin 460\u00d7360mm compression chambers operating in parallel from a single tractor pass is the defining commercial advantage of this square baler machine. Where a conventional single-chamber large square baler produces one bale per cycle, this model produces two \u2014 effectively doubling per-hour bale output from the same tractor, fuel, and operator investment. For commercial hay contractors in Australia and Canada billing by the bale or by the paddock, this output multiplier directly improves the return on every field hour worked during peak season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

02 \u2014 SPRING TOOTH PICKUP<\/p>\n

The 2200mm wide Spring Tooth Type (\u5f39\u9f7f\u5f0f) pickup is well-proven across a wide range of crop types and field conditions. Spring tines flex on ground contact rather than breaking, extending their service life through multi-season use and reducing round baler parts replacement frequency. The generous 2200mm pickup width covers the full windrow width left by most twin-blade mower conditioners and wide rotary rakes, minimising the need for windrow merging passes and keeping total field operations per cut to a minimum \u2014 a time and cost saving that accumulates across a full baling season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

03 \u2014 2\u00d72 D-TYPE DUAL KNOTTERS<\/p>\n

Four D-type knotters in a 2\u00d72 configuration \u2014 two per chamber \u2014 apply two rope ties to every bale from each chamber simultaneously, producing structurally robust square hay bales that resist breakage through mechanical handling, transport, and storage. The D-type knotter is a well-established design format with a long service record on commercial square hay baler machines across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, offering consistent tie formation across standard sisal and synthetic baler twine grades available through dealer networks worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

04 \u2014 COMPACT MACHINE FOOTPRINT<\/p>\n

At 5600\u00d72780\u00d71790mm overall dimensions and 3115 kg, this double-chamber square baler maintains a more manageable transport envelope than many large square baler designs producing equivalent output. The lower machine height of 1790mm is particularly relevant for road transport under bridges and overhead power lines on farm laneways \u2014 a practical consideration for contractors moving between multiple farm clients across hilly or infrastructure-dense regions in Korea, the Netherlands, and the UK. Compact dimensions also simplify implement shed storage between seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

05 \u2014 BROAD POWER COMPATIBILITY<\/p>\n

A matching power requirement of \u226551.5 kW (\u226569 HP) is notably accessible for a double-chamber large square baler with this output capacity. This means the machine can be deployed on tractors already working on many mixed farms without requiring a dedicated high-powered tractor purchase, keeping total cost of ownership lower than comparable double-bale output configurations requiring 90 HP or more. The square baler for compact tractor market segment will find this power threshold within reach of many modern utility and compact utility tractors, expanding the addressable farm size for this machine type.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

3. How Does a Square Baler Work \u2014 Double-Chamber Operating Principle<\/h2>\n

The EP Spring Tooth Double-Chamber Square Baler is a towed-type machine powered by the tractor’s PTO shaft. Power flows from the PTO through the square baler gearbox, distributing drive simultaneously to the spring tooth pickup, the fork feeding mechanism, and the two independent plunger-and-knotter assemblies that serve each compression chamber. As the tractor pulls the machine forward, the 2200mm wide spring tooth pickup assembly lifts crop material from the windrow using its array of flexible high-carbon steel tines. Unlike hammer-claw designs suited to tough stalk crops, spring tooth pickups excel at cleanly lifting conditioned hay, short-stemmed wheat straw, and paddy straw at higher field travel speeds without wrapping or bridging \u2014 making this square baler machine well-matched to the grass hay, alfalfa, and cereal straw baling that constitutes the majority of commercial baling work across Korea, Australia, and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

After pickup, the fork feeding mechanism divides the incoming crop stream and distributes material evenly into both compression chambers. Each chamber receives crop charges independently, and each plunger operates on its own cycle \u2014 the two plungers working in coordinated alternation to balance the machine’s dynamic loads and maintain a stable towing behaviour behind the tractor. Inside each 460\u00d7360mm chamber, the reciprocating plunger compresses each crop charge against the growing bale, building density with every stroke until the preset bale length is reached. At that point, the two D-type knotters for that chamber fire, applying two rope ties automatically before the bale is ejected from the rear of the machine. Because both chambers operate simultaneously and independently, each forward field pass produces two finished square hay bales, one from each chamber, at whatever bale length the operator sets.<\/p>\n

The automatic rope baling system uses standard baler twine fed from onboard twine boxes, with each chamber’s knotter pair operating independently from its own twine supply. This independence means a twine run-out or knotter fault on one chamber does not stop the other \u2014 a practical operational resilience advantage during long baling sessions in the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

4. Materials & Structural Construction<\/h2>\n

The EP double-chamber square baler frame is fabricated from heavy-section structural steel, with the dual-chamber plunger housing representing the most complex welded subassembly in the machine. The frame must carry the combined dynamic loads of two reciprocating plungers operating in alternation, which places specific requirements on the rigidity and fatigue resistance of the central chassis structure. Primary frame members are welded from high-tensile steel plate and profile sections, with all critical joints inspected before priming and topcoat application. The exterior finish uses field-grade enamel paint resistant to crop acid, UV exposure, and the moisture cycling common across multi-season use in temperate and subtropical farming regions from Korea to Brazil and Colombia.<\/p>\n

Spring tines on the 2200mm pickup are formed from high-carbon spring steel with heat treatment to optimise flex-to-recovery ratio. The tine mounting design allows individual tine replacement without disassembling the full pickup reel \u2014 an important field serviceability feature since pickup tines are the highest-frequency wear item on any spring tooth square baler machine. The fork feeding mechanism uses hardened steel fork arms that direct crop into the twin chamber inlets, with arms designed for the higher material throughput rate of the double-chamber configuration. Both sets of D-type knotters are manufactured from precision-cast components \u2014 the same design platform proven on commercial European square hay baler machines \u2014 offering reliable tie formation across the full twine grade range used by farmers in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and South Korea.<\/p>\n

Compression chamber bore surfaces are formed from hardened wear-plate steel with a smooth internal finish to minimise friction and maintain consistent bale density across the full chamber length. The twin plunger face plates are individually replaceable as square baler parts when wear eventually affects compression performance, avoiding the cost of replacing the entire plunger assembly. At 3115 kg, the machine’s weight provides useful towing stability during field operation, keeping the machine tracking straight in the tractor’s rear path even at higher field travel speeds on long straight paddocks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

5. Application Scenarios<\/h2>\n

The double-chamber format of this square baler machine is most valuable wherever bale volume per field hour is a primary productivity driver. Here are the key scenarios where this model delivers the strongest commercial return.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Commercial Hay Contracting<\/p>\n

Agricultural contractors in Korea, Australia, and Canada rely on bale output per day as the primary revenue driver. A double-chamber square baler machine that produces two bale streams simultaneously from the same tractor pass effectively lowers the per-bale time cost of baling without doubling tractor or fuel expenditure. For contractors running tight schedules across multiple farm clients during the short hay harvest window, this throughput advantage can translate to fitting one additional farm into the daily schedule \u2014 a meaningful revenue impact compounded across a full season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Wheat & Rice Straw Recovery<\/p>\n

Post-harvest wheat and rice straw recovery in South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia operates under tight time constraints \u2014 the stubble field must be cleared for next crop establishment within days of grain harvest. The EP’s 2200mm spring tooth pickup efficiently lifts and clears the straw windrow in a single pass, and the double-chamber output ensures the available baling hours between grain harvest and the next sowing deadline are used at maximum productivity. Small square bales of hay and straw at 460\u00d7360mm cross-section are also the preferred format for mushroom substrate buyers who specify consistent bale weight and dimensions for their processing operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Alfalfa & Mixed Grass Hay<\/p>\n

Spring tooth pickups are the preferred configuration for alfalfa baling because they handle the leafy, brittle nature of wilted alfalfa with lower leaf loss than hammer-claw or belt-based alternatives. The spring tines lift alfalfa cleanly from the windrow without shredding the leaf fraction that carries the bulk of the plant’s protein and energy value \u2014 critical for hay destined for high-producing dairy cows or competition horses on farms across the Netherlands, Australia, and Canada where hay quality is purchased on protein and energy density analysis, not just visual grade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Biomass & Fibre Crop Baling<\/p>\n

Square bale format is the preferred delivery format for many biomass plant purchasing specifications, with bale weight and dimensions required to meet specific volumetric loading targets for biomass trucks and boiler feed systems. The consistent 460\u00d7360mm bale cross-section from the EP double-chamber square baler meets standard biomass purchasing specifications used across Korean and European district heating and power plant procurement programmes. Double-chamber output keeps the biomass supply chain running at the throughput rates required by industrial purchasing contracts that specify delivery volumes per day or per week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Export Hay Production<\/p>\n

Small square hay bales are the dominant format for hay exported in shipping containers to markets in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and East Asia from Australian and Canadian production farms. Container stuffing efficiency for small square bales relies on consistent bale dimensions across the entire consignment \u2014 the 460\u00d7360mm format from this machine stacks tightly and fills a standard 40-foot high cube container to near-maximum volumetric capacity. Double-chamber output reduces the number of field hours needed to produce a full container load, shortening the time from cut crop to ship-ready product during the weather-sensitive export hay season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

6. Regulatory Standards & Compliance by Region<\/h2>\n

Operators and importers of square baler machines in international markets must ensure compliance with the applicable machinery safety, gearbox mechanical standards, and agricultural equipment registration frameworks in their jurisdiction. The following outlines the key regulatory considerations by market.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u041f\u0456\u0432\u0434\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0430 \u041a\u043e\u0440\u0435\u044f<\/p>\n

Under the Agricultural Mechanization Promotion Act, square baler machines imported for use by Korean farms or eligible for government purchase subsidies must pass RDA (Rural Development Administration) type approval testing. This covers PTO shaft guarding, hitching system structural integrity, and knotter guard completeness. The double-chamber design requires certification of the knotter guarding configuration for all four knotters as a unified system. Korean-language operator manuals are expected by dealers and end-users in the Korean market as a standard deliverable with the machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

European Union<\/p>\n

CE marking under EU Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC (transitioning to EU Machinery Regulation 2023\/1230) is required for sale in all EU member states including the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and France. EN ISO 4254-7 (balers and baling presses) is the primary harmonised safety standard, covering knotter guarding, PTO connection, bale ejection safety, and rear gate design. For a double-chamber baler with four knotters, the risk assessment scope under EN ISO 4254-7 is expanded to cover all knotting system access points and guards around each chamber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Australia<\/p>\n

Safe Work Australia and state-level WHS regulations govern trailed agricultural machinery. PTO shaft guarding must comply with AS 1410. The machine weight of 3115 kg and 2780mm transport width require compliance with state over-dimension vehicle movement permits when transporting on public roads between farms. Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria each have specific overwidth permit thresholds that should be checked before road transport. Operators should also note workplace noise exposure requirements under their state noise regulation where sustained baler PTO operation is involved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Canada<\/p>\n

Provincial WHS Acts govern farm machinery safety in Canada, with CEMA (Canadian Equipment Manufacturers Association) standards providing the recognised technical benchmark for baler safety and PTO shaft guarding. The \u226551.5 kW power requirement aligns with the lower-to-mid range of tractors commonly operated on Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Ontario grain and hay farms. Canadian buyers should also verify current import duty classification under the Canada-EU CETA agreement or the CUSMA framework, which may offer duty relief on agricultural machinery categories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Brazil & Colombia<\/p>\n

In Brazil, ABNT standards and MAPA Ministry of Agriculture import classification apply to agricultural machinery. INMETRO certification requirements should be confirmed per the specific machine category and intended market. In Colombia, ICA and INVIMA frameworks govern agricultural equipment imports. Both markets have growing commercial forage and biomass sectors where high-output square baler machines are finding demand, particularly among large-scale cattle ranching and sugarcane co-product operations seeking to monetise crop residue or reduce purchased feed costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

United Kingdom<\/p>\n

Post-Brexit UKCA marking under UK Machinery Regulations (SI 2008\/1597 as amended) applies for the Great Britain market. PUWER 1998 covers employer obligations for safe use of farm equipment. The HSE publishes agricultural machinery Approved Codes of Practice that specifically address knotter guarding \u2014 relevant to the EP’s four-knotter dual-chamber configuration. The 2780mm machine width requires standard overwidth movement notice in England and Wales when transporting between farm locations on public A and B roads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Regulatory frameworks are periodically updated. We strongly recommend verifying current requirements with a local agricultural machinery compliance specialist or import authority before finalising procurement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

7. Compatible Accessories & Drivetrain Components<\/h2>\n

The EP double-chamber square baler is designed for one-stop supply alongside its matched drivetrain components. Sourcing gearbox and PTO shaft from the same manufacturer removes specification uncertainty and simplifies warranty and parts logistics across export markets.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Square Baler Gearbox<\/p>\n

On a double-chamber square baler machine, the gearbox carries the combined PTO torque demand of two plunger assemblies and a wider-than-average pickup \u2014 a more demanding duty cycle than equivalent single-chamber machines. Our matched baler gearbox for the EP spring tooth platform is engineered to the specific torque and speed requirements of the dual-plunger drive layout, using case-hardened helical or bevel gear sets in an oil-bath sealed housing with oversized shaft bearings to handle the alternating plunger shock loads. For buyers in South Korea and the Netherlands requiring CE or RDA compliance documentation, we supply full gearbox technical data alongside the baler as a standard part of the export documentation package, reducing the compliance file burden for importers dealing with local machinery registration authorities.<\/p>\n

\"Square<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

PTO Drive Shaft<\/p>\n

The PTO shaft for square balers<\/a> connecting the tractor to this double-chamber square baler must be rated for the combined drive loads of both compression systems operating simultaneously. Our matched EP PTO shafts include torque-limiting overrun clutch options that protect the gearbox from the peak impact loads generated when both plungers reach maximum compression simultaneously \u2014 a load condition unique to double-chamber machines that is not adequately addressed by standard single-chamber shaft ratings. Safety guarding complies with EN 12965 across EU, UK, Australian, and Canadian regulatory frameworks, and telescoping length is specified to match the EP baler hitching geometry without any field modification. All cross-and-bearing joints include grease nipple fittings at service points that align with the baler’s standard maintenance schedule intervals, reducing the total number of independent service operations per season.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\nQ1. What is a double-chamber square baler and how does it produce more output than a conventional single-chamber square baler machine on Korean hay farms?<\/summary>\n
A double-chamber square baler runs two independent compression chambers side by side from a single pickup assembly and PTO drive. Each chamber forms, ties, and ejects bales independently on its own cycle, meaning every forward field pass produces two finished square hay bales simultaneously. For Korean hay farms operating under tight harvest windows between the summer rice crop and autumn planting deadlines, this doubled output rate means the same field area can be cleared in roughly half the baling time compared to a conventional single-chamber square baler \u2014 a meaningful advantage when weather windows for safe baling can close quickly.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nQ2. How many horsepower does a tractor need to run the EP spring tooth double-chamber square baler efficiently for commercial alfalfa baling in Australia?<\/summary>\n
The EP Spring Tooth Double-Chamber Square Baler requires a minimum tractor power of \u226551.5 kW, which corresponds to approximately 69 HP at the PTO. For commercial alfalfa baling in southern Australia where cutting schedules and throughput targets are demanding, most operators pair this machine with tractors in the 80\u2013110 HP range to maintain comfortable PTO headroom through the higher drive demand of the dual-plunger system on dense, multi-cut alfalfa windrows. Running above the minimum threshold also extends gearbox service life by reducing thermal load during sustained all-day operations in warm Australian field conditions.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nQ3. How much does a square bale of hay weigh from the EP 460\u00d7360mm chamber and what does that mean for manual stacking on a small farm in the Netherlands?<\/summary>\n
From the EP’s 460\u00d7360mm compression chamber, a square bale of hay typically weighs between 18 and 35 kg depending on crop type, moisture at baling, and bale length setting. Dry grass hay at 14\u201316% moisture at a 35\u201340 cm length produces bales in the 20\u201327 kg range, which falls within single-person manual handling limits under Dutch Arbo (occupational health) guidelines. For farms in the Netherlands stacking directly into hay barns from the field, this weight range is manageable with a simple bale elevator \u2014 a common piece of equipment on Dutch dairy and horse farms \u2014 without requiring a telehandler or bale grab attachment.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nQ4. What is the difference between a spring tooth pickup and a hammer-claw pickup on a square baler and which should I choose for hay and straw work in South Korea?<\/summary>\n
Spring tooth pickups use flexible high-carbon steel tines that flex on ground contact and sweep material up cleanly \u2014 they excel on conditioned hay, alfalfa, and short-stemmed wheat and rice straw where the crop lies in a uniform windrow after cutting or raking. Hammer-claw pickups actively shred and break up material as they lift it, making them better suited for hard, bulky stalks like corn stover and cotton that resist a simple sweep-up action. For the majority of Korean baling work \u2014 wheat straw, rice straw, ryegrass, and alfalfa \u2014 the spring tooth pickup is the appropriate choice and is kinder to leafy crops like alfalfa where the leaf fraction contains most of the nutritive value.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nQ5. How many square bales of hay per acre can a double-chamber square baler produce on a well-managed grass hay paddock in Ontario or Alberta Canada?<\/summary>\n
On well-managed orchard grass or timothy hay in Ontario or Alberta at a yield of 3\u20135 t\/ha per cut, the EP 460\u00d7360mm chamber at a 90 cm bale length and approximately 22\u201328 kg per bale would yield roughly 110\u2013180 bales per acre per cut from a single chamber \u2014 and approximately 220\u2013360 bales per acre from the double-chamber configuration. Actual yield varies with cutting date, stand density, irrigation, and moisture at baling. Canadian prairie hay typically hits peak quality at first-cut heading stage, so many operations prioritise speed of baling to capture optimal quality before weathering reduces protein and energy values in the windrow.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nQ6. Which square baler parts typically wear fastest on the EP double-chamber spring tooth model and how quickly can replacements be sourced for farms in Colombia or Brazil?<\/summary>\n
On the EP spring tooth double-chamber square baler, the fastest-wearing components in typical commercial use are: spring tine elements on the pickup (ground contact and crop abrasion); D-type knotter bill assemblies across all four knotters (high-cycle tying loads); plunger face plate wear surfaces on both chambers; and fork feeder arm wear points at the divider where material splits into the two chamber inlets. All square baler parts are catalogued with standardised part numbers for overseas procurement. For buyers in Colombia and Brazil, our export team provides parts documentation in Spanish and Portuguese on request, supporting the local dealer or importer in maintaining parts availability through the harvest season.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nQ7. What are square hay bales called in the export market and how do the 460\u00d7360mm dimensions from this square baler compare to international container stuffing standards?<\/summary>\n
In the international hay export trade, small square bales at the 460\u00d7360mm cross-section range are typically called “conventional bales”, “standard bales”, or “two-string bales” in English-language markets. In Japanese and Korean trade documentation they are referred to as “\u5c0f\u578b\u65b9\u5f62\u68b1\u5305” or “\uc18c\ud615 \uc0ac\uac01 \ubca0\uc77c”. The 460mm width and 360mm height at standard 35\u201345 cm bale length stack efficiently in a 40-foot high cube container, commonly achieving 14\u201316 bale layers in height with four bale columns across the container floor \u2014 a configuration that approaches the maximum volumetric capacity allowed under standard shipper-supplied load plans used by Australian hay exporters serving Japan, Korea, and the Middle East.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nQ8. When is the best time to get a quote and place an order for a double-chamber square baler machine for use in the spring wheat straw harvest season in South Korea?<\/summary>\n
For Korean buyers targeting the June\u2013July wheat and barley straw harvest window, placing an order inquiry by February or March allows sufficient time for production scheduling, export documentation preparation, ocean freight transit (typically 12\u201320 days from port to Korean destination port), customs clearance, and pre-season mechanical inspection before the harvest period begins. Our export team can provide CIF Incheon or Busan pricing options with full Korean customs documentation including certificate of origin, commercial invoice, and packing list as standard. Korean-language RDA type data summaries are also available on request to support subsidy application processing with the Rural Development Administration prior to field deployment.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n

The EP-5600\u00d72780\u00d71790mm is a trailed-type square baler<\/strong> built on the 9YFS-2.2 double-chamber engineering platform \u2014 a design concept that sets it apart from conventional single-chamber square baler machines by running two independent 460\u00d7360mm compression chambers side by side from a single pickup pass. For commercial forage contractors and large livestock farms in South Korea, Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands, this double-output configuration fundamentally changes the economics of baling: the same tractor pass, the same fuel burn, and the same operator time produce twice the number of finished square hay bales compared to an equivalent single-chamber machine. At a matched power requirement of \u226551.5 kW (approximately 69 HP), the machine is accessible to a wide range of mid-sized tractors already operating on mixed farms, making it one of the more commercially versatile large square baler options in its class.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":797,"template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[47],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-796","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-square-baler","first","instock","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=796"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=796"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farm-balers.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=796"}],"curies":[{"name":"\u0412\u041f","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
