Description
The Vermeer BPX9010 Bale Processor is a two-bale-capacity processor designed to help livestock and hay operations process round bales efficiently for right-hand discharge. With a three-roller-chain bale rotation system, 30-flail rotor, vertical bale lift system, and offset rotor for consistent feeding, the BPX9010 supports controlled bale processing across a range of material-handling applications. This variant is identified with a flotation-tire configuration, providing the listed 16.5L-16.1SL 6 SofTrac II flotation tire option. It accommodates two round bales up to 6 ft x 5 ft and offers adjustable cut control for managing processed material distribution.
Key Features
- Processes up to two round bales with a bale size capacity of 6 ft x 5 ft (1.8 m x 1.5 m).
- Handles bale weights up to 2,500 lb (1,134 kg).
- Three roller chains with bolt-on cross slats rotate bales through the processor.
- Vertical bale lift system assists with bale positioning and feeding.
- Offset rotor promotes consistent feeding into the processing system.
- 30-flail rotor with a 26.8 in (68.1 cm) drum diameter and 78 in (198.1 cm) drum length.
- Toolless cut control bar design with seven cut control bars.
- Hand-lever adjustment provides five settings plus an additional high/low setting.
- Right-hand discharge with horizontal spreading up to 50 ft (15.2 m).
- Flotation-tire configuration identified with the 16.5L-16.1SL 6 SofTrac II flotation tire option.
Processing and Discharge
The BPX9010 combines slat-and-chain bale rotation with an offset rotor to support consistent bale feeding. Its 30 flails operate at 1,000 rpm, while the adjustable cut control bar allows the operator to select from multiple settings for processing control. Material discharges to the right-hand side, with a horizontal spread distance of up to 50 ft (15.2 m).
The processor is designed for two round bales measuring up to 6 ft x 5 ft (1.8 m x 1.5 m), with a maximum bale weight capacity of 2,500 lb (1,134 kg). Large square bale processing requires optional equipment.
Tractor Requirements
The Vermeer BPX9010 is designed for tractors providing between 85 and 210 PTO hp, with 100 PTO hp recommended. It requires a 1,000 rpm PTO and hydraulic capability of three double-acting circuits. An optional kit allows operation with two double-acting hydraulic circuits. The hydraulic system specification is 2,000 psi (137.9 bar) at 8 gpm (30.3 L/min).
