9LZ-6.0 Finger Wheel Hay Rake \u2014 12-Disc, 6 m Width, 4.2\u20136 hm\u00b2\/h Output<\/h2>\n

The 9LZ-6.0 Finger Wheel Hay Rake<\/strong> is a trailed disc-type raking machine towed by any wheeled tractor rated at 25.73 kW (35 hp) or above. Its 12 finger-wheel discs cover a 6 m working width, carrying 720 spring tines (60 per disc) that rotate through ground contact with no PTO connection needed. At 7\u201310 km\/h working speed, field output runs from 4.2 hm\u00b2\/h to 6 hm\u00b2\/h, with a miss rate of 2% or below and a windrow width of 800\u20131400 mm \u2014 directly matching the pickup range of most commercial round and square balers.<\/p>\n

Designed for forage and crop-residue post-harvest handling, this hay collection equipment<\/strong> performs three field functions in a single machine: collecting cut and field-dried grass or straw into uniform windrows, turning previously laid material for faster moisture loss, and forming parallel rows at spacing suited to the baler. All 12 discs raise and lower simultaneously via the tractor’s hydraulic system \u2014 one lever, no manual adjustment, no field tools required.<\/p>\n

The 9LZ-6.0 is suited to pasture farms, livestock operations, and arable fields where straw is collected post-harvest. It is not intended for waterlogged ground, heavily stoned terrain, or dense woodland understorey where disc contact with embedded obstacles would damage tines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Efficient Finger Wheel Hay Rake for Hay Collection<\/h2>\n

The case for running a dedicated raking pass comes down to three measurable outcomes in the harvest cycle:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Uniform 800\u20131400 mm Windrow \u2014 Consistent Bale Feed<\/p>\n

The 9LZ-6.0 forms windrows between 800 mm and 1400 mm wide. This range covers the pickup width of virtually all compact and commercial round balers and most square balers. A consistent windrow density means the baler maintains a steady feed rate \u2014 reducing the surge-and-stall cycles that cause uneven bale weight and in-field stoppages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Open, Aerated Windrow \u2014 Faster Field Drying<\/p>\n

Spring tines lift material in a gentle arc and deposit it loosely rather than compressing it flat. The resulting windrow allows airflow through the mass \u2014 under summer field conditions, this typically reduces the time to baling moisture by 6\u201312 hours compared to a dense, flat swath. Faster drying directly shortens the weather-risk window between mowing and baling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u22642% Miss Rate \u2014 Higher Crop Recovery<\/p>\n

At 2% miss or below, the 9LZ-6.0 leaves no more than 60 kg per hectare unrecovered at a 3 t\/ha forage yield. Over a 50 ha season, that is a maximum of 3 tonnes left in the field \u2014 compared to 10\u201315 tonnes with a poorly adjusted or wide-pitch rake operating at 5\u20137% miss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Handles Both Hay and Straw<\/p>\n

The spring-tine finger wheel design works equally well on fine-stemmed grass, alfalfa, and coarser cereal straw. Farms running both forage and arable enterprises can use the same machine for post-harvest straw collection after grain harvest and for hay windrowing after forage cuts \u2014 reducing the equipment investment per collected tonne.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Key Features of the 9LZ-6.0 Tractor Hay Rake<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

12-Disc Finger Wheel Design<\/p>\n

Twelve independently sprung finger-wheel discs are staggered across the 6 m frame. Each disc contacts the ground and rotates under its own friction drive \u2014 no gearbox or driveshaft connects them to the tractor PTO. This passive drive system has fewer wearing parts than an active-drive rake, making the maintenance requirement straightforward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

720 Spring Tines \u2014 60 Per Disc<\/p>\n

Each of the 12 discs carries 60 individual spring-steel tines. The tine count is high enough to achieve the \u22642% miss rate across the full 6 m width. Individual tines are replaceable without removing the disc, keeping per-repair cost proportional to the number of tines actually worn rather than requiring a complete disc swap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Full Hydraulic Lifting \u2014 All 12 Discs Together<\/p>\n

One hydraulic lever raises or lowers all 12 finger-wheel discs simultaneously. Headland turns are completed with the full 6 m bar raised in under 8 seconds without the operator leaving the seat. The same lever controls working height adjustment during the pass to maintain consistent tine contact on undulating ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Low Entry Power \u2014 25.73 kW (35 hp) Minimum<\/p>\n

The tractor’s job is towing, not driving the raking mechanism. This keeps the matched power at just 25.73 kW \u2014 the lowest entry point of any machine in this product range. Small farms and operations running compact tractors in the 35\u201350 hp bracket can run this rake without upgrading their tractor fleet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Road Transport at Up to 18 km\/h<\/p>\n

The machine is rated for inter-field road movement at up to 18 km\/h. Working dimensions are 7600 \u00d7 6800 \u00d7 1500 mm; confirm the road transport width in your jurisdiction before moving on public roads. At 1200 kg, the machine fits within the standard towing capacity of most 35 hp-plus tractors without front ballast adjustment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Single Operator \u2014 No Ground Crew<\/p>\n

The tractor driver manages all functions from the cab: travel speed, disc height via hydraulics, and windrow width setting. No additional crew member is needed during the raking pass, which directly reduces the labour cost per hectare raked compared to machines requiring a second operator for equipment adjustment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How Does a Finger Wheel Hay Rake Improve Farming Efficiency?<\/h2>\n

As hay making equipment<\/strong>, the 9LZ-6.0 affects four measurable steps in the post-cut forage chain:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Faster Forage Organisation<\/h3>\n

At 6 hm\u00b2\/h, the 9LZ-6.0 rakes 48 ha in an 8-hour shift. A manually assisted raking operation working the same area with a narrower 2 m rake at the same speed would require three machines or three times the field time. Faster organisation shortens the total window between mowing and baling \u2014 the critical factor in preserving nutrient content in cut forage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reduced Manual Labour<\/h3>\n

One operator manages the entire raking pass \u2014 no additional ground crew for adjusting windrow width, clearing blockages, or flagging missed strips. On a 20 ha farm, replacing a manual or semi-manual raking operation with the 9LZ-6.0 typically reduces the labour input for the raking phase from 3\u20134 person-days to under 4 machine hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Improved Drying Through Turning<\/h3>\n

The disc-type raking action lifts and turns cut material rather than simply pushing it sideways. This exposes the previously sheltered underside of the swath to sun and air. In typical warm-season conditions, a turned and raked windrow reaches baling moisture 6\u201312 hours earlier than a flat, un-turned swath \u2014 reducing the number of overnight dew events the crop must dry through before baling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Uniform Rows for Round and Square Balers<\/h3>\n

The 800\u20131400 mm windrow width covers the pickup range of virtually all commercial balers. A consistent, gap-free windrow from the 9LZ-6.0 keeps the baler feed rate steady \u2014 producing bales of uniform weight and shape. Variable windrow density, by contrast, causes the baler to produce undersized bales in gap zones and risks blockages in overloaded zones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Hydraulic Control System for Easy Operation<\/h2>\n

The 9LZ-6.0 is a hydraulic finger wheel hay rake<\/strong> \u2014 every disc on the 6 m bar responds to a single tractor hydraulic lever. Three day-to-day operational benefits follow directly from this design:<\/p>\n
