EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake — Tow-Type Mow-Rake Integrated Machine
Trailed Mower Rake Colombia Model EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 | Cutting Width: 2.5 m | Rake Width: 2.9 m | Power: 25–55 kW
The EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake is a high-performance, tow-type mow-rake integrated machine engineered for professional forage harvesting on flat and gently sloping grasslands. As a purpose-built trailed mower rake, it combines two traditionally separate field operations — cutting and raking — into a single, seamless pass.
Pulled by any rear-PTO-equipped wheel tractor rated between 25 and 55 kW (approximately 35 to 75 hp), the EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake delivers a 2.5-metre cutting swath alongside a 2.9-metre rake working width, collecting freshly cut material into neat windrows ready for immediate baling. The reciprocating cutter bar mechanism provides smooth, even stubble at a consistent height of 60 to 70 mm, preserving root-stock health and promoting faster regrowth — a critical consideration in Colombia’s perennial grassland regions where multiple cuts per growing season are standard practice. With a field speed range of 6 to 7 km/h, this tractor-driven lawn mower and rake combination achieves cutting productivity of 1.2 to 1.44 hm²/h and raking productivity of 1.5 to 1.8 hm²/h, allowing a single operator to process several hectares per working day.

2. Five Key Product Advantages
The EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake completes mowing and raking in one single tractor pass. By eliminating the need for a separate raking operation, this tow-type mow-rake integrated machine cuts total field hours nearly in half compared to running two independent implements, directly reducing tractor fuel burn and operator fatigue over a full harvesting season.
Designed to work with any rear-PTO wheel tractor in the 25–55 kW range, this trailed mower rake integrates smoothly with the most common mid-horsepower tractors found on Colombian farms and ranches. The standard 540 r/min PTO interface and simple towbar attachment mean no custom adaptors are needed, making it a true plug-and-work solution for operations already running a lawn mower tractor.
The reciprocating cutter bar on this trailed mower rake provides a clean, precise cut at a consistent stubble height of 60–70 mm. Unlike rotary disc cutters, the reciprocating mechanism works efficiently at lower blade speeds, generating less soil disturbance and leaving a flatter swath that dries more uniformly — a measurable benefit in Colombia’s humid lowland regions where rapid wilting is essential for quality hay production.
Both the cutter bar and rake assembly on the EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake are raised and lowered via the tractor’s own hydraulic system, allowing the single operator to adjust working depth on-the-go without leaving the cab. This feature reduces field turn-around time, simplifies headland manoeuvring, and lowers the physical demands on the driver during long working days — a practical advantage for solo-operator farms across the Colombian agricultural sector.
In transport configuration, the trailed mower rake measures just 3100 × 2920 × 2900 mm (L×W×H), making it easy to move between paddocks and along narrow farm tracks. When deployed, the machine expands to a 5.0-metre working width on the rake side, maximising windrow coverage relative to footprint. This compact-to-deploy ratio makes the Trailed Mower Rake well suited to Colombia’s mixed-use farm roads where wide implements can create logistical challenges.
3. How the Trailed Mower Rake Works
The EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake draws mechanical power directly from the tractor’s rear PTO shaft, which rotates at 540 r/min. A main driveline transmits this rotational energy to the machine’s central gearbox, where it is divided between two sub-systems: the reciprocating cutter bar and the rake rotor assembly. The gearbox converts the PTO rotation into the rapid linear oscillation required to drive the cutter bar’s 34 individual moving blades across the fixed counter-blades, producing the characteristic scissor-cutting action that defines all reciprocating mowers.
As the tractor moves forward at 6 to 7 km/h, the cutter bar — positioned slightly ahead of the machine’s axle on the right-hand side — slices through standing forage at a pre-set stubble height of 60 to 70 mm above ground. The hydraulic depth-control system continuously maintains this clearance, automatically compensating for minor undulations in the field surface. Immediately behind the cutter, the 42-tine rake assembly sweeps the freshly cut material laterally, gathering it into a tidy windrow beside the machine’s track. The rake tines are spaced 71 mm apart, a spacing calibrated to handle the typical biomass volumes found in Colombian tropical grasses such as Brachiaria, Kikuyo, and Guinea grass without bunching or blockage.
The full system is operated by a single tractor driver. Hydraulic control of both the cutter lift and the rake lift is handled from within the cab using the tractor’s standard remote-valve levers, requiring no additional electro-hydraulic hardware. At the end of each field run, the operator raises both units to transport height, turns the tractor, and re-deploys in a matter of seconds. The net outcome is a continuous, low-interruption workflow that makes the EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake exceptionally productive across large-area forage systems.
4. Materials & Construction
The EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake is constructed to withstand the rigorous demands of continuous field work in tropical and subtropical conditions. The main chassis and draw-bar frame are fabricated from high-strength structural steel profiles, welded to precise dimensional tolerances using automated welding lines. This approach produces a main frame that resists torsional stress during field operation, particularly when the tractor pulls the trailed mower rake across undulating terrain or engages a tight headland turn.
The 34 moving cutter blades are manufactured from high-carbon, heat-treated blade steel with a Rockwell hardness rating optimised for long edge retention on fibrous tropical grasses. Individual blades are replaceable as separate components, which eliminates the need to discard the entire cutter bar assembly when wear occurs — a direct maintenance cost saving for operators in Colombia and other Latin American markets. The fixed counter-blades are similarly produced from hardened steel and can be reversed once one side shows wear, effectively doubling their useful service life.
The 42 rake tines are produced from spring-tempered steel wire, designed to flex over surface obstacles without permanent deformation and return to their operating angle immediately after deflection. This resilience makes the tines particularly well suited to grasslands with surface stones or uneven sod. All external steel surfaces are finished with an electrostatic powder-coat paint system that provides superior adhesion and corrosion resistance compared to conventional spray painting, helping the Trailed Mower Rake maintain its condition through Colombia’s wet seasons. Rubber pneumatic tyres on the ground-running axle provide ground-speed traction and protect the soil surface during operation and transport.
5. Application Scenarios
Natural Grassland Hay Production
In Colombia’s Llanos Orientales and Caribbean coastal savanna, vast tracts of natural grassland are harvested once or twice annually for hay destined for dry-season cattle feeding. The EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake is purpose-designed for exactly this environment — flat to gently rolling terrain, medium-to-tall grass swards, and the need to move efficiently across large areas within a limited weather window. One tractor and this trailed mower rake can complete cutting and raking simultaneously, which is critical when the dry spell may last only a few days before rain returns moisture to the cut material.
Planted Forage Grass Cultivation
Farms in Antioquia, Cundinamarca, and the Magdalena Valley that cultivate improved grass varieties such as Brachiaria brizantha, Pennisetum purpureum (King Grass), or Dactylis glomerata for silage or hay production benefit greatly from a dedicated trailed mower rake. The reciprocating cutter bar’s precise stubble height control — fixed at 60 to 70 mm — encourages rapid tiller regrowth from the base of the plant, supporting the quick canopy recovery that intensive rotational grazing and multi-cut forage systems depend on. The simultaneous raking action ensures cut material is collected before it can mat down and suppress regrowth.
Sports Fields & Large Turf Management
Beyond agricultural use, the EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake finds an important role in professional turf management. Large sports facility grounds, equestrian centres, airfield perimeter zones, and municipal green spaces in Colombian cities often require periodic cutting of rough grass areas that are too large for conventional ride-on mowers but unsuitable for heavy silage equipment. This lawn mower tractor combination provides an efficient, operator-friendly solution for organisations that already own a suitable tractor and want to extend its utility into grounds management tasks.
Roadside & Embankment Vegetation Control
Highway authorities, utility corridor managers, and municipal road departments in Colombia regularly need to cut roadside verges, canal embankments, and drainage channel margins where vegetation management is both a safety requirement and an erosion-control measure. The trailed mower rake configuration keeps the tractor on the road surface or stable ground while the cutter bar reaches into the verge — minimising equipment risk and improving operator safety. The raking unit collects the cut material cleanly, reducing fire hazard and preventing blockage of drainage structures.
Forage Contractor & Custom-Hire Services
In regions where individual farm units are too small to justify owning dedicated forage machinery, agricultural service contractors play a vital role. The EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake is an excellent machine for contractors offering custom-hire hay-making services across multiple client farms in departments such as Boyacá, Nariño, and Cauca. Its mechanical durability, ease of transport between properties, and minimal daily maintenance requirements translate directly into better machine utilisation rates and improved contractor profitability. For those searching for a quality trailed mower rake for sale at the contractor scale, this model offers a reliable income-generating asset.
6. Regulatory & Compliance Considerations
Agricultural machinery operators in Colombia must be aware of several regulatory frameworks that apply to the importation, registration, and use of equipment such as the EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake.
Colombia (ICA & DIAN): The Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA) oversees the registration of agricultural implements under Resolución ICA, requiring importers and distributors to maintain technical documentation demonstrating machine safety and fitness for declared agricultural use. Additionally, DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales) administers import duties and tariff classifications under Colombia’s harmonised customs code — agricultural machinery including mowers and rakes typically benefits from reduced duty rates under Chapter 84 of the Arancel de Aduanas. Compliance with ICONTEC standards (NTC) for agricultural equipment is advisable and increasingly required for government-procurement channels.
European Union (CE Marking & Machinery Directive): Equipment exported to or through EU member states — including Colombia-based re-exporters supplying South American neighbours — must comply with EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which mandates CE marking, a Declaration of Conformity, and user manuals in the buyer’s language. The Trailed Mower Rake’s gearbox components and driveline must meet EN ISO 4254 standards for agricultural machinery safety.
Gearbox-Specific Regulations: Gearboxes used in PTO-driven implements must comply with ISO 11684 (safety signs), ISO 4254-1 (general safety requirements for agricultural machinery), and ISO 8210 (PTO driveline guards). In Colombia, ICONTEC NTC 3714 addresses general machine safety requirements applicable to PTO-driven agricultural equipment. The driveline protection guard supplied with this trailed mower rake is designed to meet these requirements, covering all rotating components accessible by the operator during normal field work.
United States (ANSI/ASABE): For buyers in markets that reference ANSI/ASABE Standards, the EP-9GL-2.5/2.9 Trailed Mower Rake is designed to align with ASABE S318 (safety for agricultural field equipment) and ASABE EP496 (agricultural machinery management data), which set norms for PTO speed, drawbar load, and field efficiency calculations.
Argentina, Chile & Other Latin American Markets: Argentina’s SENASA and Chile’s SAG each maintain import-permit requirements for agricultural machinery with cutting or mowing functions. Buyers in those markets should confirm country-specific registration prior to import. The MERCOSUR Technical Regulations (RTM) increasingly harmonise requirements for wheeled agricultural trailers and implements across Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay, simplifying compliance for multi-country distributors.
