margin-bottom: 56px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.88; margin: 0 0 20px;\">A baler that can only run level does half the job in hill country. When the ground tilts and the tractor drifts uphill relative to the windrow, a fixed-hitch baler&#8217;s pickup also tilts \u2014 one end rises above the crop and misses material while the other end digs in and gathers soil. The operator either slows to a crawl to minimize the alignment error, overlaps passes to compensate for missed crop, or accepts poor bale quality. None of those options are acceptable in a high-volume operation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.88; margin: 0 0 20px;\">The S9000 Superior&#8217;s dual-gearbox hitch solves this at the mechanical level. The hitch assembly is built around two gearboxes mounted on a shared carrier frame. Because the gearboxes drive the PTO input from within the carrier rather than through a rigid drawbar, the carrier itself can rotate in two planes simultaneously \u2014 up to 100\u00b0 of horizontal swing left or right, and up to 30\u00b0 of lateral tilt in either direction. The tractor can lean on a side slope, turn at a headland, or navigate a contour strip while the baler&#8217;s pickup tracks the windrow independently. No power interruption, no manual adjustment, no need to straighten up before engaging the PTO.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1.05rem; line-height: 1.88; margin: 0;\">Paired with dual 20A heavy-duty rear chamber chains rated at 500\u20131,000 kgf compression force and a maximum hitch torque rating of 1,000 N\u00b7m, the Superior also handles the additional mechanical stress that comes with hillside operation \u2014 where gravity works against both the machine&#8217;s weight balance and the uniformity of crop feeding into the chamber. The result is the same 40\u2013100 bale-per-hour output as the other S9000 variants, sustained consistently on ground that would force significant concessions from a fixed-hitch machine.

margin: 0 0 14px;\">The hitch assembly on most towed round balers is a rigid or semi-rigid drawbar \u2014 it allows horizontal articulation for turns, but does not permit the baler to tilt laterally relative to the tractor. This works fine on flat or gently rolling ground, but on a side slope the tractor and baler tilt together, and the pickup tilts with them. At a 15\u00b0 slope \u2014 common in Appalachian hay fields, Pacific Northwest grass seed country, or mid-Atlantic pasture \u2014 a fixed-hitch baler&#8217;s pickup can be running several inches out of level. The uphill end misses crop, the downhill end digs and gathers soil, and bale shape degrades because the material enters the chamber unevenly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.93rem; line-height: 1.78; color: #444; margin: 0 0 14px;\">The Superior&#8217;s dual-gearbox hitch solves this mechanically. Two gearboxes are mounted on a shared carrier frame. The carrier connects to the tractor drawbar pin through a joint that allows lateral rotation up to 30\u00b0 in either direction \u2014 independent of what the tractor&#8217;s body is doing. When the tractor is tilted 15\u00b0 on a side slope, the operator can compensate by dialing in 15\u00b0 of counter-tilt on the hitch, keeping the pickup running level relative to the ground surface. The same carrier also provides 100\u00b0 of horizontal swing \u2014 enough for full headland turns in tight fields without cutting PTO power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.93rem; line-height: 1.78; color: #444; margin: 0 0 14px;\">The gearbox-based design also improves power transmission efficiency compared to shaft-only arrangements at steep angles. Because the gearboxes redirect drive inside the carrier, the PTO shaft input angle is managed internally \u2014 the external shaft sees a gentler effective operating angle even when the carrier is tilted or swung significantly. The hitch is rated to 1,000 N\u00b7m, which covers the full torque demands of the 18-roller compression chamber and dual 20A rear drive under heavy-crop loading.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #f0ede4; padding: 16px 18px; border-left: 3px solid #a8bb7a;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.82rem; color: #2e3a14; font-weight: 600; margin: 0 0 4px;\">Who this matters for<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.82rem; color: #555; margin: 0;\">Operations in hilly terrain \u2014 Appalachia, Ozarks, Pacific Northwest, upper Midwest \u2014 where contoured fields, side slopes, and irregular ground profiles are routine rather than exceptional.

Running a pair of them, one on each side of the chamber, achieves two things. First, compression force increases to a rated 500\u20131,000 kgf \u2014 the higher end of the range for heavy, dense material like wet alfalfa or corn stover \u2014 which directly translates to tighter, heavier bales. Second, symmetric dual-side drive means both sides of the 1,400 mm chamber receive equal input torque simultaneously, eliminating the slight roller speed differential that single-side drive systems produce and that can cause minor density variation across the bale&#8217;s width.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.93rem; line-height: 1.78; color: #444; margin: 0 0 14px;\">The 20A specification also has a service life advantage. Chain wear rate is closely related to the ratio of working load to rated load capacity \u2014 a chain operating at 60% of its rated capacity wears measurably slower than one at 85%. By using a higher-rated chain across both sides, each chain&#8217;s working load as a fraction of its rated capacity is lower, extending inspection and replacement intervals in typical operating conditions.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #fff; padding: 16px 18px; border-left: 3px solid #2e3a14;\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.82rem; color: #2e3a14; font-weight: 600; margin: 0 0 4px;\">Note on bale weight<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.82rem; color: #555; margin: 0;\">Higher compression force does not automatically produce heavier bales \u2014 bale weight is primarily a function of crop density and chamber volume, which are the same across all S9000 variants. What higher compression force produces is more consistent bale core compaction, which improves bale shape retention after ejection and reduces the &#8220;mushrooming&#8221; at bale ends that affects stacking stability on flatbed transport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u2500\u2500 PATENT \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"sup-pat-grid\" style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 200px; gap: 32px; align-items: center; background: #1c2409; padding: 36px; margin-bottom: 56px;\">\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.62rem; letter-spacing: 0.2em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #6b7c3a; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Intellectual Property<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 1.1rem; font-weight: bold; color: #f0ede4; margin: 0 0 14px; line-height: 1.4;\">Patented Intake System \u2014 Camless, Ringless Architecture<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.87rem; line-height: 1.75; color: #c4cca8; margin: 0 0 12px;\">The axial-flow semi-force-feed intake mechanism running across the full S9000 series \u2014 including the Superior \u2014 is a proprietary design developed in Brazil Ever-Power Farm Balers Co., Ltd&#8217;s autonomous R&amp;D center and protected under an independent utility patent.

Fixed-hitch balers force the tractor to straighten up before engaging the PTO after a turn; the Superior&#8217;s dual-gearbox hitch maintains drive through the full turn arc, reducing the idle time at each headland and increasing the number of effective baling passes per hour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 22px; background: #fff; border-left: 5px solid #618326;\">\n<h4 style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.8rem; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.08em; color: #2e3a14; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Pacific Northwest Grass Seed &amp; Hay<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.9rem; line-height: 1.72; color: #444; margin: 0;\">Western Oregon and Washington hillside grass fields can present side slopes of 15\u201325\u00b0 alongside heavy, dense ryegrass or tall fescue windrows.

I&#8217;ve been pushing around the issue for years \u2014 slow down, go around, take extra passes. The Superior changed that. I can run the tractor along a contour with 18\u201320\u00b0 of lateral tilt dialed in, and the pickup tracks the windrow like the ground is flat. The quality of bales on hillside ground is now the same as what I get on the flat fields, which has never happened with any other machine I&#8217;ve run. I&#8217;ve put 3,400 bales on it this season, most of them in conditions that would have been a problem before. Gate cycle is fast. Bales are consistently shaped and transport well on the flatbed. If you&#8217;re farming any kind of rolling or contoured ground, this is the right tool \u2014 the hitch adjustability is genuinely useful, not a gimmick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Review 2 \u2014 4\u2605 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 18px; border: 1px solid #d4cfc4; background: #f7f5f0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 6px 1fr;\">\n<div style=\"background: #6b7c3a;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 22px 26px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 6px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n<div><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.97rem; color: #1c2409;\">Robert &amp; Linda F.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.78rem; color: #888; margin-left: 10px;\">Western Oregon \u2014 Ryegrass &amp; Tall Fescue, 700 acres<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.9rem; color: #2e3a14; letter-spacing: 2px;\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.92rem; line-height: 1.75; color: #333; margin: 0;\">Oregon grass seed country has side slopes and heavy crop \u2014 exactly what the Superior is designed for. We&#8217;ve been impressed with the hitch performance. On our steeper ground (around 20\u201322\u00b0 grade) we can run continuously where we used to have to stop and reposition. The dual 20A chain handles wet ryegrass without the stalling issues we had on our previous machine. I&#8217;m giving four stars rather than five for one practical reason: the machine is heavy at 10,076 lb, and on our softer fields after fall rain, it leaves a deeper wheel track than we&#8217;d like. This is probably unavoidable given the engineering it carries, but worth knowing if soil compaction is a management concern on your operation. On firm, dry ground there&#8217;s no issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Review 3 \u2014 5\u2605 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 18px; border: 1px solid #d4cfc4; background: #fff; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 6px 1fr;\">\n<div style=\"background: #2e3a14;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 22px 26px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 6px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n<div><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.97rem; color: #1c2409;\">Jim C.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.78rem; color: #888; margin-left: 10px;\">Eastern Kentucky \u2014 Custom Baling, Rolling Hill Country, 5,000+ acres\/season<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.9rem; color: #2e3a14; letter-spacing: 2px;\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.92rem; line-height: 1.75; color: #333; margin: 0;\">Custom baling in eastern Kentucky means dealing with small, hilly farms \u2014 lots of field shape variety, frequent turns, and grades that make bale quality inconsistent if the machine can&#8217;t compensate for slope. I bought the Superior specifically for this customer base. It&#8217;s been the right call. The horizontal swing lets me turn without cutting power, which adds up to real time savings over a long day with lots of headlands. The lateral tilt handles the grade changes cleanly. I&#8217;ve run about 7,200 bales on it this season, and my customer callbacks for bale quality complaints have dropped noticeably compared to the machine it replaced. For custom operators working hill-country, this is a competitive advantage \u2014 you can work ground that other operators decline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Review 4 \u2014 4\u2605 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 18px; border: 1px solid #d4cfc4; background: #f7f5f0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 6px 1fr;\">\n<div style=\"background: #6b7c3a;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 22px 26px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 6px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n<div><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.97rem; color: #1c2409;\">Nathan B.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.78rem; color: #888; margin-left: 10px;\">Ozark Region, Missouri \u2014 Fescue &amp; Mixed Hay, 900 acres<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.9rem; color: #2e3a14; letter-spacing: 2px;\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.92rem; line-height: 1.75; color: #333; margin: 0;\">Fescue on Ozark hill ground is a specific challenge \u2014 it&#8217;s heavy when wet, it lies in windrows that follow the contour, and the fields have all kinds of grade changes. The Superior handles it well. I adjusted the lateral tilt mid-field a few times when the grade changed significantly, and found the adjustment mechanism smooth and easy to operate without stopping. Two things I&#8217;d note: the gearbox hitch does need more frequent greasing than a standard drawbar \u2014 plan for that at the daily maintenance level. Also, the learning curve for setting lateral tilt correctly took me a couple days to dial in. Once I understood the adjustment range and got a feel for it, it became intuitive. Four stars reflects the learning curve and the greasing demand, not any performance complaint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Review 5 \u2014 3\u2605 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 1px solid #d4cfc4; background: #fff; overflow: hidden;\">\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 6px 1fr;\">\n<div style=\"background: #c4cca8;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 22px 26px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: space-between; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 6px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n<div><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.97rem; color: #1c2409;\">Steve A.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.78rem; color: #888; margin-left: 10px;\">Central Indiana \u2014 Alfalfa &amp; Corn Stover, Flat Ground, 1,400 acres<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.9rem; color: #888; letter-spacing: 2px;\">\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606\u2606<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 0.92rem; line-height: 1.75; color: #333; margin: 0;\">I&#8217;ll be direct: if you farm flat ground, buy the standard S9000 or the Classic and save the money. I purchased the Superior without fully understanding how flat-specific it is, thinking the extra engineering would simply translate to better performance across the board. For flat Indiana ground, the hitch adjustability goes unused. The machine bales well \u2014 the intake is clean, the bale quality is consistent, the density sensor works \u2014 but I&#8217;m paying for engineering that my land doesn&#8217;t need. The dual 20A chain does produce noticeably firm bales, which is a genuine benefit for my corn stover work. But if I were choosing again with the same operation, I&#8217;d choose the Classic for the driveline upgrades and skip the terrain hitch. Three stars is not a quality complaint \u2014 it&#8217;s an honest signal that this machine is terrain-specific, and the page descriptions should make that clearer before purchase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u2500\u2500 FAQ \u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 56px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; margin-bottom: 26px;\">\n<div style=\"width: 4px; height: 30px; background: #2e3a14; flex-shrink: 0;\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 1.1rem; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; letter-spacing: 0.04em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #1c2409;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #d4cfc4; padding: 20px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 0.97rem; font-weight: bold; color: #2e3a14; margin: 0 0 10px;\">How steep a slope can the Superior practically operate on?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.87rem; line-height: 1.72; color: #444; margin: 0;\">The hitch provides up to 30\u00b0 of lateral tilt compensation \u2014 in theory enough to level the pickup on slopes up to approximately 30\u00b0. In practice, the limiting factor is tractor stability rather than baler geometry. Most agricultural tractors are rated for side slopes up to about 20\u201325\u00b0 depending on configuration and loading. Operating a tractor and baler combination on grades steeper than the tractor&#8217;s rated side-slope limit creates rollover risk regardless of what the baler&#8217;s hitch can accommodate. The Superior extends your effective baling range on grade, but it does not extend your tractor&#8217;s safe operating limits. Always operate within the tractor manufacturer&#8217;s terrain ratings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #d4cfc4; padding: 20px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 0.97rem; font-weight: bold; color: #2e3a14; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Does the dual-gearbox hitch require a different PTO shaft setup?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.87rem; line-height: 1.72; color: #444; margin: 0;\">The Superior uses a standard 720 RPM PTO input \u2014 the same as the other S9000 variants. The dual-gearbox carrier manages angular compensation internally, which means the external PTO shaft from the tractor sees a more favorable operating angle in most field conditions compared to a standard fixed-hitch baler. You do not need a special PTO shaft or adapter to operate the Superior; the standard PTO shaft supplied with the machine is designed for the hitch&#8217;s operating geometry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #d4cfc4; padding: 20px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 0.97rem; font-weight: bold; color: #2e3a14; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Is the lateral tilt adjustment manual or hydraulic?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.87rem; line-height: 1.72; color: #444; margin: 0;\">The lateral tilt on the Superior&#8217;s hitch is mechanically adjusted \u2014 set by the operator before or during field operation by engaging the adjustment mechanism at the hitch carrier. It is not a hydraulically actuated system that can be changed from the cab in motion. Most operators set the tilt for the prevailing grade at the start of a run and readjust at the headland if the grade changes significantly. For fields with consistent grade, one setting typically covers an entire run without mid-field adjustment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #d4cfc4; padding: 20px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 0.97rem; font-weight: bold; color: #2e3a14; margin: 0 0 10px;\">What does 500\u20131,000 kgf compression force mean in practical terms?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.87rem; line-height: 1.72; color: #444; margin: 0;\">The rated 500\u20131,000 kgf range represents the force the dual 20A rear chamber chains can apply to compress material against the roller array. The lower end (around 500 kgf) applies in light, dry material where the bale builds relatively easily. The upper end (approaching 1,000 kgf) comes into play with heavy, dense, or wet material where higher force is needed to reach the target density. In practice, this range means the Superior can reach the same target density setpoint across a wider range of crop conditions without the chain drive system becoming the limiting factor \u2014 particularly relevant in multi-cut alfalfa or high-moisture cover crop baling where material resistance varies significantly within a single field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #d4cfc4; padding: 20px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 0.97rem; font-weight: bold; color: #2e3a14; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Will bales roll downhill after ejection on a slope?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.87rem; line-height: 1.72; color: #444; margin: 0;\">This is a genuine operational consideration on steep ground. Freshly ejected round bales on a grade will roll downhill if the surface is smooth enough and the grade is steep enough. The standard practice on hillside operations is to hold the tractor stationary after the gate drops \u2014 allowing the bale to stop rolling and settle into the stubble or grass \u2014 before driving forward. On very steep ground, some operators use a bale bumper or deflector to control bale travel direction at ejection. This is a field management question rather than a machine limitation, and the approach varies by terrain, crop stubble height, and operator preference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #d4cfc4; padding: 20px 0;\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 0.97rem; font-weight: bold; color: #2e3a14; margin: 0 0 10px;\">Is this model appropriate for flat-ground operations?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 0.87rem; line-height: 1.72; color: #444; margin: 0;\">The Superior performs well on flat ground \u2014 the dual 20A chains and patented intake deliver the same bale quality as the other S9000 variants.
