3. Redefining Forage Harvest: The 9LZY-9.0 Disc-type Hay Rake

In the face of the demanding challenges of modern agriculture, particularly in the straw and forage crop sectors of South Korea, efficiency is not just a metric, but a necessity. The 9LZY-9.0 disc rake is a prime example of advanced agricultural engineering, designed to balance operational speed with crop quality. Unlike smaller, fixed-position rakes, this “tractor-mounted rake” utilizes a towed design, significantly reducing soil compaction while maximizing raking width. Its extra-wide 9-meter working width allows farmers to combine three or more swaths into a single, fluffy windrow. This aeration is crucial, accelerating the drying process (tedding effect) and reducing moisture content to optimal baling levels—essential for preventing mold and ensuring livestock receive high-nutrient feed.
Traditional rotary rakes can sometimes cause excessive damage to delicate leaf structures like alfalfa. The 9LZY-9.0, however, employs a ground-driven finger wheel system. As the tractor pulls the unit at 8-10 km/h, friction with the ground causes the 1.5-meter diameter discs to rotate slowly. The 60 spring steel tines on each disc [cite: 2871] gently move the crop inwards. This operation minimizes the inclusion of stones and soil in the windrow—critical for dairy farmers seeking to reduce ash content in their silage.
Whether you’re working on the vast grasslands of Mongolia or the meticulously cultivated rice fields of South Korea, this machine delivers the durability and performance required of a heavy-duty towed rake.

4. Engineering Precision: Working Principles and Material Science

The operational core of the 9LZY-9.0 lies in its sophisticated V-shape configuration. The rake consists of two main arms equipped with overlapping finger wheels. When deployed, the arms open to their full 9-meter width. The raking wheels are ground-driven, meaning they require no PTO power from the tractor, significantly reducing fuel consumption compared to rotary rakes. This makes it an incredibly energy-efficient “hay rakes appliance.” The geometry of the rake can be adjusted to vary the width of the finished windrow (0.8 – 1.2m), ensuring compatibility with various baler pickup widths, from small square balers to large round balers like the 9YG series.
Material selection is paramount for longevity. The main chassis is constructed from Q345B structural steel, offering high tensile strength to withstand the twisting forces encountered on rough terrain. The most critical components, the raking tines, are manufactured from 65Mn Spring Steel. This material undergoes a specialized heat treatment process (quenching and tempering) to achieve a hardness of HRC 45-50. This metallurgy ensures that the tines possess the “memory” to flex over obstacles like rocks or ridges and immediately return to their original shape without breaking. The hub bearings are double-sealed to prevent dust and moisture ingress, a common failure point in “antique hay rake” designs. This attention to detail ensures that the 9LZY-9.0 is not just a tool, but a long-term investment in farm productivity.

5. Compliance and Safety: Meeting Global & Korean Standards

Navigating the regulatory landscape of agricultural machinery is essential for safe and legal operation. For our partners in South Korea, the 9LZY-9.0 is designed in compliance with the Agricultural Mechanization Promotion Act. Specifically, the hydraulic folding mechanism ensures that the machine’s transport width is reduced to safe levels for public road travel, adhering to the strict width restrictions found on rural Korean roadways. The machine is equipped with mounting points for safety reflectors and slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signage, meeting the requirements of the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) for towed agricultural implements.

From a land management perspective, the 9LZY-9.0 supports sustainable farming practices. Its wide flotation tires (400/60-15.5 or similar spec) are designed to minimize ground pressure. In regions like the European Union and South Korea, where soil compaction regulations are becoming stricter to preserve arable land quality, this low-impact design is a significant advantage. Furthermore, the ground-driven nature of the rake eliminates the risk of hydraulic fluid leaks associated with PTO-driven motors on the cutter bar, aligning with environmental protection standards such as ISO 14001. By choosing the 9LZY-9.0, you are ensuring compliance with current safety standards while positioning your operation for future environmental regulations.

9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is the current price for the 9LZY-9.0 hay rake for a tractor delivered to Busan port?

A1. Pricing varies based on steel costs and shipping logistics. For a precise CIF Busan quote, please get in touch with our sales team directly via the “Get a Quote” button.

Q2. How wide is a 10-wheel hay rake compared to this 15-wheel 9LZY-9.0 model?

A2. A standard 10-wheel rake typically covers about 6-7 meters. The 9LZY-9.0, with 15 wheels, offers a significantly larger 9-meter width, increasing productivity by over 30%.

Q3. What is a high-capacity hay rake, and does the 9LZY-9.0 fit this category?

A3. Yes, “high capacity” refers to rakes that can cover large acreages quickly. With a 9m width and 9 hm²/h productivity, the 9LZY-9.0 is definitely classified as high capacity.

Q4. Can I use this rake as a pull-behind rake for sticks or land clearing?

A4. No, this machine is precision-engineered for forage. Using it as a pull behind rake for sticks will damage the specialized spring steel tines and void the warranty.

Q5. How long to wait before raking hay with the 9LZY-9.0 for best results?

A5. It depends on the crop, but generally, wait until the top of the swath is dry (usually 1 day after cutting). The 9LZY-9.0 can also be used to turn damp hay to accelerate drying.

Q6. Are replacement tines for this rotary hay rake style available in South Korea?

A6. Yes, we provide a spare parts kit with purchase. Furthermore, the 65Mn tines use standard international mounting, making them compatible with many local aftermarket suppliers.

Q7. Does the 9LZY-9.0 require a PTO connection to operate the spinning wheels?

A7. No, this is a ground-driven finger wheel rake. The forward motion of the tractor spins the wheels, saving fuel and simplifying maintenance compared to PTO rakes.

Q8. How does this compare to a parallel bar hay rake for alfalfa harvesting?

A8. Parallel bar rakes are gentler but slower and narrower. The 9LZY-9.0 is much faster and wider (“high capacity”), though slightly more aggressive, making it ideal for large-scale operations.

Q9. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for an OEM order of these rakes?

A9. We can ship single units, but for optimal shipping costs in a 40ft container, we recommend ordering 3-5 units. OEM customization usually requires a minimum of 5 units.

Q10. Can this rake handle heavy, wet rice straw common in Korean harvests?

A10. Absolutely. The Q345B frame and heavy-duty 65Mn tines are specifically tested to handle the weight and density of wet rice straw without clogging or bending.
