EP-9LZD-9.0 type disc-type hay rake

The 9LZD-9.0 Disc-type Hay Rake is the flagship “high capacity hay rake” in the EVER-POWER lineup, specifically engineered for extensive agricultural operations. Boasting a massive 9-meter working width and utilizing a V-type trailed configuration with 17 independent finger wheels, this machine is designed to be paired with 55-75 kW (75-102 HP) tractors. It is particularly effective for the rapid windrowing of pasture grass, alfalfa, and post-harvest rice straw—a critical application in the South Korean agricultural sector. With a structural weight of 1240kg and a productivity rate reaching up to 9 hectares per hour, the 9LZD-9.0 minimizes field passes, reduces fuel consumption, and ensures a clean rake with a loss rate below 2%, making it the “high quality disc-type hay rake” for commercial efficiency.

2.  Key Facts & Performance Metrics

  • Ultra-Wide Coverage: 9.0m operating width driven by 17 dynamic finger discs (1020 total tines).
  • Productivité élevée : Achieves work rates of 7.2 to 9 hm²/h, significantly outperforming standard rotary rakes.
  • Ground-Driven Efficiency: Requires no PTO input; the finger wheels are driven by ground contact, saving tractor fuel.
  • Hydraulic Precision: Full hydraulic lifting and folding system ensures seamless transition between transport and working modes.
  • Terrain Adaptability: Floating finger wheel design follows ground contours, ideal for the rolling hills of Jeolla and Gyeongsang provinces.

3. The Ultimate Forage Solution: 9LZD-9.0 Disc-type Hay Rake

In the fast-paced world of modern large-scale agriculture, particularly in the straw and commercial feed industries of South Korea and East Asia, harvesting windows are often dictated by unpredictable weather patterns. The 9LZD-9.0 disc rake is designed to maximize this short harvesting window. As a premium rake, it distinguishes itself from smaller “wheel rake” models with its massive 17-wheel configuration. This V-shaped rake design allows farmers to sweep approximately 9 meters of crop into a single, even windrow in one pass. This capability is not just about speed; more importantly, it’s about preserving crop quality. By quickly gathering large areas of hay or straw, the crop is exposed to less sunlight and can be baled before moisture content reduces nutrient levels. The ground-driven mechanism ensures smooth operation, minimizing leaf shatter in delicate crops like alfalfa or clover, a common drawback of PTO-driven rotary rakes.
Unlike lighter “used rakes” that may fail due to metal fatigue, this unit features a reinforced chassis capable of withstanding the high-speed operation (up to 10 km/h) required by contractors. While various “rake types” exist on the market, the finger-wheel rake remains the best option for large-area coverage and fuel efficiency. Its independently floating wheels ensure that every stalk of forage is collected, even on uneven rice paddies or undulating pastures, without digging into the soil. This reduction in soil contamination (ash content) is crucial for dairy farmers who need to provide the highest quality silage for their herds.

4. Engineering Mechanics: Working Principles and Material Science

The superior performance of the 9LZD-9.0 hay rake stems from its passive ground-driven principle. As the tractor pulls the rake forward, the friction between the ground and the 17 tines causes the tines to rotate. Each tine is equipped with 60 high-strength spring teeth. As the tines rotate, these teeth gently lift the crop and transfer it diagonally to the next tine, moving the crop from the outer edge towards the center. This creates a fluffy, well-aerated swath of hay, facilitating drying – a process often referred to as “tedding” in combined operations. The center width of the swath is adjustable between 0.8 and 1.2 meters, allowing the operator to adjust the swath width according to the pickup width of their round or square baler. The hydraulic system is crucial here; it allows the operator to lift all the tines simultaneously when turning or transporting, ensuring the teeth do not drag on the ground when not in use.
From a metallurgical perspective, the 9LZD-9.0 hay rake is built for durability. The raking teeth, as the main wear parts, are forged from 65Mn spring steel. This special grade of steel is heat-treated to a hardness of HRC 45-50, giving it exceptional elasticity. This “memory effect” allows the teeth to bend when striking rocks or hard soil ridges and immediately return to their original shape without permanent deformation or breakage. The main frame is constructed from Q345B low-alloy high-strength structural steel, which offers higher load-bearing capacity compared to ordinary carbon steel.

5. Regulatory Compliance: Safety and Land Management Standards

Operating large-scale equipment like the 9LZD-9.0 requires strict adherence to agricultural safety and environmental regulations. For our clients in South Korea, this machine is designed to comply with the Agricultural Mechanization Promotion Act. A key aspect of this compliance is the transport dimension. While the machine spans 9 meters in the field, its hydraulic folding mechanism compacts the unit for road transport. However, given its size, operators must adhere to local road safety laws regarding wide loads, utilizing the provided mounting points for safety triangles and reflective markings as required by the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT). The braking assistance and proper lighting integration with the tractor are essential for safe transit between widely scattered rice paddies.
Environmentally, the 9LZD-9.0 supports sustainable land management practices. In many jurisdictions, including the EU and parts of Asia, there are increasing regulations regarding soil conservation. Heavy machinery can cause soil compaction, which reduces crop yield and water infiltration. The 9LZD-9.0 addresses this by distributing its weight across widely spaced transport tires and the 17 floating rake wheels, resulting in low ground pressure. Furthermore, unlike PTO-driven power rakes that can pulverize soil and mix it into the forage, the gentle action of the finger wheels preserves the soil structure and prevents root damage to perennial grasses. This aligns with global “Good Agricultural and Environmental Conditions” (GAEC) standards, helping farmers maintain their land’s eligibility for environmental subsidies while ensuring high-quality, low-ash feed for livestock.

6. Market Analysis: The Demand for High-Capacity Solutions

The agricultural machinery landscape in South Korea and globally is shifting decisively towards efficiency and scale. With the rural workforce aging and labor costs rising, farmers are moving away from smaller, labor-intensive implements. The disc-type hay rake search trends indicate a preference for units like the 9LZD-9.0 that can replace the work of two or three smaller rakes. While 8-10 wheel rakes were once standard, the 17-wheel configuration is becoming the new benchmark for professional contractors and large cooperatives.

This trend is driven by the need to match the speed of modern high-density balers and forage harvesters. Additionally, there is a growing awareness of “feed hygiene.” Farmers are increasingly rejecting “parallel bar hay rake” models that can drag soil into the windrow, favoring the cleaner lift of finger wheel rakes. The marketis expanding, with a projected 15% annual growth in the 9-meter+ segment over the next five years in the Asian Pacific region.
