Le 9LZY-9.0 Finger Wheel Hay Rake stands as a monumental achievement in commercial crop consolidation technology. Engineered as a high-efficiency trailing implement, this industrial-grade Râteau agricole is meticulously designed to manage post-harvest forage, legumes, and heavy crop residues with unprecedented speed. Unlike complex, high-maintenance rotary designs, this intelligent finger wheel rake utilizes the forward motion of the towing tractor to drive its rotational gathering action. It is highly capable of aggregating cut, sun-dried forage, or rigid straw into continuous, uniform windrows. Furthermore, its versatile geometrical adjustment allows it to be utilized for tedding and turning the crop, effectively accelerating the solar curing and dry-down process.
This heavy-duty Râteau agricole is perfectly suited for massive-scale operations across both pastoral steppes and intensive agricultural zones. It handles everything from thick native grasses to heavy, damp crop stalks with ease. The machine is celebrated globally for its exceptionally wide 9.0-meter working span, yielding profound production efficiency while maintaining absolute structural simplicity and high operational reliability. The resultant windrows are highly uniform with excellent air permeability, ensuring optimal moisture evaporation before the crop is collected by a presse à balles rondes haute densité. All lifting, lowering, and folding operations of the 15 raking wheels are exclusively governed by a sophisticated hydraulic control system, empowering a single operator to manage the entire implement seamlessly from the safety and comfort of the tractor cab.
Technologie de base - Lecture rapide
To fully comprehend the operational superiority of the 9LZY-9.0, agronomists and procurement managers must understand its foundational kinematic engineering principles.
This Râteau à gazon operates without the need for a mechanical power take-off. The 15 independent finger wheels are powered entirely by ground contact, translating the tractor’s forward momentum into a gentle, continuous rolling action that protects fragile legume leaves from aggressive shattering.
The system boasts a staggering total of 900 individual spring teeth (60 teeth per wheel across 15 wheels). This high-density contact matrix ensures an extraordinary field recovery rate, maintaining a forage leakage rate of strictly less than or equal to 2%.
Total operational articulation is managed via the tractor’s standard hydraulic remotes. The heavy-duty V-frame can be instantly hoisted to clear field obstacles or folded neatly into a compact transport mode, making field-to-field logistics remarkably fast and secure.

4. Key Features & Unmatched Field Performance
The 9LZY-9.0 is not merely a rake; it is a comprehensive yield-preservation system. Discover the engineering advantages that set it apart from traditional forage management tools.
Massive 9.0m Sweeping Capability
Spanning an immense 9.0 meters, the dual articulating V-arms drastically cut down the absolute number of field passes required. By covering more ground rapidly at sustained speeds up to 10 km/h, the 9LZY-9.0 minimizes destructive soil compaction from tractor tires and drastically lowers diesel consumption per hectare, consistently achieving massive production rates of 7.2 to 9.0 hectares every single hour.
15 Independent Floating Wheels
The system utilizes 15 distinct finger wheels, each mounted on highly responsive independent suspension arms. This advanced mechanical decoupling allows the wheels to flawlessly trace the micro-contours of severely uneven pastures. Whether passing over deep irrigation ruts, terraces, or rolling hills, the wheels maintain constant, optimal ground contact to ensure absolute crop recovery without scalping the topsoil.
Superior Windrow Aeration
Unlike heavy PTO rotary rakes that can aggressively twist and knot the crop into a tight, moisture-trapping rope, the gentle rolling action of the 9LZY-9.0 produces a loose, highly fluffy windrow perfectly sized between 0.8 and 1.2 meters. This excellent volumetric air permeability permits prevailing winds and solar radiation to dry the inner core of the swath rapidly, decisively preventing toxic mold development.
Ultra-Low ≤ 2% Leakage Rate
Armed with an incredible 900 high-memory spring teeth, this Râteau à foin guarantees that almost zero viable biomass is left behind to rot in the field. Validated agricultural testing confirms a maximum forage leakage rate of ≤ 2%. This meticulous, exhaustive gathering ensures you capture maximum tonnage, directly multiplying the gross profitability of your harvest.
6. Specialized Field Application Scenarios
Selecting the precise implement for specific crop profiles is vital for operational success. The 9LZY-9.0 is highly adaptable, proving its dominance across various challenging agronomic scenarios globally.
🌾 Gentle Farm Rake for High-Value Alfalfa
Alfalfa is prized exclusively for its high-protein leaves, which become incredibly brittle upon drying. The ground-driven rotation of this finger wheel rake moves the crop gently, rolling the tougher stems around the fragile leaves. This protective wrapping action shields the delicate foliage from the violent shattering commonly caused by high-RPM rotary rakes, securing maximum feed value.
🏞️ Broadacre Grass Rake for Vast Native Prairies
When dealing with thousands of hectares of lower-yield native grasses, speed is the ultimate metric of profitability. With a 9.0m working width and operational speeds sustaining up to 10 km/h, the 9LZY-9.0 can clear massive tracts of land rapidly, keeping both diesel fuel and hourly labor costs exceptionally low.
🚜 Heavy-Duty Agricultural Rake for Biomass
Beyond standard hay, this resilient machine is highly effective for processing heavy crop residues and tough agricultural straw post-harvest. The 900 heavy-duty spring teeth easily comb through tough, anchored stubble, aggregating thick corn, wheat, or soy stalks into tight windrows ready for commercial biomass baling.
7. Competitive Advantage Matrix: V-Rake vs. Traditional PTO Models
| Indicateur de performance | Our 9LZY-9.0 Finger Wheel Rake | Traditional PTO Rake (Rotary/Bar) |
|---|---|---|
| Drivetrain Complexity | Zero PTO Required. Fully ground-driven. Extremely low mechanical failure rate. | High. Heavily relies on complex gearboxes, universal joints, and sheer pins that break. |
| Working Width vs Capital Cost | Exceptional. 9.0m massive width achieved at a fraction of the capital cost. | Poor. A 9m rotary rake requires a massive financial investment and high HP tractor. |
| Terrain Adaptation & Flotation | Excellent. 15 completely independent wheels flex to follow ground contours perfectly. | Rigid heavy rotors often scalp the dirt on hillsides, severely increasing ash content in feed. |
| Operating Speed Capabilities | High-Speed. Safely and effectively operates at 8-10 km/h with a ≤ 2% leakage rate. | Slower. High speeds can cause violent throwing of the crop and overheat gearboxes. |
8. Kinematic Working Principle & Standard Operation Flow
Hydraulic Deployment & Lowering
Arriving at the field, the operator utilizes the tractor’s hydraulic remote to release the locking latches and smoothly lower the massive V-frame arms, transitioning the implement from its narrow 12 km/h transport mode down to its full 9.0m sweeping stance.
Ground-Driven Actuation
As the tractor accelerates to the optimal 8-10 km/h, the 900 spring teeth make direct contact with the soil and crop. The specific geometric angle of the V-frame inherently forces the 15 wheels to spin synchronously simply from forward friction.
Sequential Crop Sweeping
The outermost wheels engage the crop first, flicking it inward to the adjacent wheel. This continuous, cascading hand-off gently rolls the crop toward the center apex of the V-frame, actively preventing delicate leaf shatter and preserving nutrients.
Precision Windrow Delivery
At the rear apex of the frame, the aggregated biomass is expelled in a perfectly uniform, continuous windrow measuring between 0.8 and 1.2 meters wide. It is highly aerated and ideally dimensioned for immediate pickup by subsequent baling machinery.
Drivetrain & Fleet Selection Summary
Ensure seamless operational synergy and avoid under-powering your implement by strictly verifying your fleet against these critical deployment parameters prior to purchase.
| Exigence opérationnelle | Minimum Specification | Agronomic / Engineering Justification |

10. Global Engineering Field Notes & Verified Case Studies
Our equipment proves its mettle in the harshest global environments. Review these verified field notes from international agricultural engineers utilizing the 9LZY-9.0.
[Texas, États-Unis] Recherche pratique sur les conditions de travail extrêmes
Client Profile: Mega-Scale Commercial Dryland Alfalfa Producer. Core Objective: Minimizing severe leaf shatter during aggressive, ultra-dry mid-summer harvests.
“In the 40°C heat of Texas, alfalfa literally turns to dust if handled aggressively by machinery. Moving away from a violent rotary PTO Rake to the 9LZY-9.0 was critical for our survival. The ground-driven wheels gently fold the crop, preserving the precious leaves deep inside the windrow. We’re consistently capturing an average of 1.5% higher crude protein test scores on our bales.”
[Queensland, Australie] Guide d'adaptation au terrain hors route
Client Profile: Immense Outback Cattle Station. Core Objective: High-speed clearing of low-yield, vast, and heavily rutted native grass paddocks.
“When your paddocks are measured in thousands of hectares, a tiny 3-meter rake is economically useless. With the 9.0m span, we run our tractors at 10 km/h constantly. The 15 independent wheels bounce over the hard dirt ruts and termite mounds without missing a beat, allowing us to easily hit that 9 hectares an hour mark before the rains come.”
[Bavaria, Germany] Local Industry Application Cases
Client Profile: Intensive Dairy Silage Cooperative. Core Objective: Drastically reducing ash (soil) content in heavy, wet ryegrass swaths for premium silage.
“Silage fermentation quality drops dramatically and cattle health suffers if you sweep dirt into the windrow. Because the suspension on the 9LZY-9.0 is highly adjustable, we calibrate the 900 spring teeth to hover just through the stubble without ever scratching the earth. It produces a remarkably clean, 1.2m wide windrow perfect for our balers.”
[Pampas, Argentina] Straw & Residue Processing Research
Client Profile: Large-Scale Export Grain Farm. Core Objective: Rapidly clearing thick wheat straw residues for secondary seasonal planting.
“Wheat straw is absolutely brutal on standard equipment. We utilize the 9LZY-9.0 specifically for agricultural crop residues. The heavy-duty teeth easily pull the thick, anchored straw into massive piles. Because there is no PTO gearbox to shatter under the extreme load, our maintenance downtime during the critical 2-week turnover window is zero.”
[Free State, South Africa] Reliability & Longevity Assessment
Client Profile: Remote Mixed-Agri Contractor. Core Objective: Completely minimizing mechanical parts failures when operating hundreds of miles from the nearest equipment dealer.
“We simply cannot afford breakdowns in the bush. The structural simplicity of this V-Rake is its greatest asset. The hydraulic lines are massively overbuilt, the frame welds are perfect, and replacing a broken spring tine takes five minutes with a basic spanner. It’s unequivocally the most reliable Farm Rake we own.”
11. B2B Client Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How is a massive 9.0-meter wide machine shipped internationally?
To ensure maximum B2B freight efficiency and lower your landed costs, the 9LZY-9.0 is shipped in a Semi-Knocked Down (SKD) format. The main V-frame, the 15 wheels, and the drawbar are efficiently flat-packed. We provide highly detailed, step-by-step engineering manuals and digital video support to ensure your technicians can assemble the 1100 kg implement rapidly and correctly upon arrival at your facility.
Q2: Will this machine operate properly without a PTO connection?
Yes, absolutely. The defining, cost-saving feature of this Finger Wheel Hay Rake is its brilliant ground-driven kinematics. The 15 wheels are turned purely by physical contact with the soil and crop as the tractor moves forward. You only need a standard drawbar hitch for towing and a single hydraulic hose connection to lift the frame.
Q3: What specific maintenance is required for the 15 independent wheels?
Maintenance is extraordinarily minimal, saving countless labor hours. Each wheel hub contains industrial-grade, sealed, self-lubricating bearings. Routine maintenance simply involves periodically greasing the primary pivot points on the V-frame cylinders and visually verifying that all 900 spring teeth are tightened securely and undamaged before shifting to the next field.
Q4: How do I change the implement from transport mode to working mode?
Transitioning the machine is entirely automated via hydraulics. The tractor operator safely activates the remote valve from the cab, which powers the heavy-duty cylinders to slowly lower the massive 8.4 x 11m frame from its folded, upright transport position down into the wide V-shape working configuration. No manual heavy lifting is required.
Q5: Can the width of the final windrow be adjusted for different balers?
Yes. By manually adjusting the trailing angle of the rear frame sections via heavy-duty mechanical turnbuckles, the operator can widen or narrow the rear discharge opening. This allows you to consistently achieve a precise windrow width between 0.8 and 1.2 meters, perfectly matching the pickup width of your specific round or square baler.
Q6: How does it perform in exceptionally wet, heavy crop conditions?
Finger wheel rakes inherently excel at handling heavy, damp crops because the rotation speed is naturally matched exactly to the ground speed, preventing clogging. Additionally, by altering your driving pattern, the 9LZY-9.0 can be effectively used to ted (turn) wet swaths, flipping them completely over to expose the damp undersides to solar radiation for faster drying.
Q7: Is a 70 HP tractor truly sufficient for a machine this extraordinarily large?
Yes, 50-75 kW (approx 70-102 HP) is the highly optimized engineering range. Because there is no power-hungry PTO gearbox churning internal metal, the tractor’s horsepower is solely dedicated to pulling the 1100 kg rolling chassis and overcoming mild ground resistance. A 70 HP tractor provides more than ample torque for flat and rolling pastures.
Q8: Do you provide spare parts globally?
Yes. As a primary agricultural manufacturer, we hold deep, year-round inventories of all OEM components. Whether you need replacement spring tines, hydraulic seals, wheel bearings, agricultural gearboxes, or PTO shafts (for your other machinery), we dispatch globally via express air freight to minimize your downtime.
12. Critical Operational Calibration & Engineering Precautions
To guarantee the ≤ 2% leakage rate and protect your significant capital investment, all operators must adhere strictly to these engineering protocols:
- Purge du système hydraulique : Upon initial commissioning or after prolonged winter storage, fully cycle the hydraulic lift cylinders 5 to 6 times. This effectively bleeds trapped atmospheric air from the high-pressure lines, preventing dangerous, spongy drops of the 1100 kg frame during road transport.
- Spring Tine Height Calibration: The spring tines must NEVER drag continuously in the dirt. Adjust the heavy-duty drawbar leveling screw and suspension springs so the lowest point of the tines hovers approximately 15-25mm above the soil line. This ensures perfectly clean forage and prevents premature tine snapping from root collision.
- Headland Cornering Dynamics: Because of the extreme 9.0-meter working width, operators must execute wide, sweeping turns at the headlands. Making sharp, acute turns while the wheels are engaged in the soil will cause the outer raking frame to swing violently, potentially twisting the chassis or tearing up the pasture turf. Always lift the rake slightly before a tight turn.
13. Macro-Economic Trends & Strategic ROI Analysis
The trajectory of global commercial agriculture is sharply focused on massive consolidation and aggressive cost reduction. The era of running multiple small tractors with 3-meter rakes is economically obsolete due to soaring diesel prices and chronic, worldwide agricultural labor shortages. The modern agronomic imperative is simple: “Maximum Width, Minimum Input.” The 9LZY-9.0 Finger Wheel Hay Rake is the physical manifestation of this economic trend, effectively replacing three separate smaller machines and three operators with a single, highly efficient 9.0-meter pass.
Économie du retour sur investissement (ROI) : The mathematics driving the adoption of the 9LZY-9.0 are staggering. By clearing up to 9.0 hectares per hour using a low-consumption 70 HP tractor, diesel fuel expenditure per hectare drops by an estimated 45-60% compared to high-RPM rotary setups. Furthermore, the total lack of complex gearboxes completely eliminates the expensive seasonal overhauls associated with PTO-driven machinery. For a commercial hay operation managing 500+ hectares, the combined savings in diesel, labor hours, and maintenance parts routinely amortize the entire capital cost of the 9LZY-9.0 within the first half of the harvesting season, all while the gentler handling produces a higher-protein, premium-priced bale.
