Lawn Mower Series — Trailed Type
EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 Trailed Mower Rake
Tow-Type Mow-Rake Integrated Machine | Dual-Function Pasture Harvesting
The EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 Trailed Mower Rake is an advanced tow-type mow-rake integrated machine engineered to handle the full mowing and raking cycle in a single tractor pass. Designed for flat grasslands, planted forage fields, and gently sloping pastures, this trailed mower rake attaches to the rear of a wheeled tractor via the standard PTO shaft and performs two distinct operations simultaneously: cutting standing grass at a uniform height and gathering the freshly cut material into neat, well-formed windrows ready for baling.
Rated for tractors delivering 30–60 kW (approximately 40–80 HP), the trailed mower rake carries a 5-metre reciprocating cutter bar fitted with 68 hardened moving blades and a 5.6-metre-wide rake assembly bearing 78 spring-steel teeth at 71 mm spacing. Field productivity reaches 2.4–2.8 hm² per hour during the mowing phase and climbs to 3.0–3.6 hm² per hour when the rake function is the primary focus — figures that put this tractor-driven lawn mower well ahead of single-function alternatives in the same horsepower class.
Both the cutter bar and the rake frame are lifted and lowered through the tractor’s hydraulic system, requiring no manual adjustment at field headlands. The entire machine weighs 1,100 kg, and its transport configuration folds to a compact 3860 × 5600 × 3000 mm envelope, making road movement between paddocks straightforward on standard farm tracks.

2. Five Key Product Advantages
The trailed mower rake combines cutting and raking into a single tractor pass, eliminating the need for two separate implement runs. This cuts total field time nearly in half, reduces fuel costs per hectare, and speeds up the window between cutting and baling — critical in regions where afternoon rainfall can damage freshly cut forage.
With a 5-metre cutting width and 5.6-metre raking spread, the EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 trailed mower rake covers 2.4–2.8 hm² per hour while mowing and up to 3.6 hm² per hour raking — performance that supports large-scale grassland harvesting operations in the Colombian Llanos and other broad pastoral regions without requiring high-horsepower tractors.
Both the cutter bar and rake assembly are raised and lowered via the tractor hydraulic circuit. Operators remain in the cab during headland turns and road transfers, reducing fatigue during long work days and protecting implement components from ground contact when not in use.
The rear PTO interface running at 540 r/min is fully compatible with standard wheeled tractors that carry a rear power take-off — the most common tractor configuration across Colombian farms. No proprietary couplings or special adapters are required, making integration with existing lawn mower tractor fleets immediate and cost-free.
Heat-treated moving blades, high-tensile spring-steel rake teeth, and a welded structural frame collectively minimise wear-related downtime across an entire harvesting season. Replacement parts for the trailed mower rake are standardised, simplifying procurement for operations located far from major distribution centres.
3. How the Trailed Mower Rake Works
The operational sequence of the EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 Trailed Mower Rake begins the moment the tractor operator engages the rear PTO shaft. Rotational power at 540 r/min is fed through a drive shaft protected by a universal-joint coupling and into the cutter bar gearbox. Within the gearbox, an eccentric cam assembly converts continuous rotation into the rapid, side-to-side reciprocating motion of the cutter bar — this is the defining characteristic of reciprocating-type mowing technology, which is well-suited to natural grasslands and planted forage species where rotary blade systems may cause excessive leaf shatter.
The 68 hardened moving blades travel in short, fast strokes across a matching row of fixed counter-blades anchored to the cutter bar frame. Grass stems are captured between the two blade sets and sheared cleanly, leaving a stubble height of 60–70 mm — high enough to protect the growing point of most perennial pasture species, which is an important agronomic consideration in Colombia’s tropical and subtropical grassland zones where regrowth speed directly determines the rotational grazing schedule.
Cut material falls to the ground immediately behind the cutter bar and is swept by the 78-tooth spring-steel rake assembly, which runs in parallel across the machine’s full 5.6-metre raking width. Each tooth traces a path just above the soil surface, collecting loose grass without gouging the ground or picking up excessive soil, which would contaminate the hay and increase ash content. The teeth’s 71 mm spacing strikes the right balance between thorough collection and resistance to blocking in moderate-density swards. The gathered material is deposited as a single offset windrow, ideally positioned for a round baler or square baler to pick up on the next pass.
In transport mode, the trailed mower rake folds to 3860 × 5600 × 3000 mm (Length × Width × Height). Once in the field and lowered hydraulically, the working configuration expands to 3860 × 7600 × 850 mm, keeping the overall profile very low to the ground. That low stance, combined with the rubber-tired undercarriage, ensures stable tracking on the gentle slopes and undulating terrain common in grassland harvesting across the Orinoco basin and Colombia’s cattle-farming departments such as Meta, Casanare, and Vichada.
4. Materials & Construction Quality
The EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 Trailed Mower Rake is built around a welded rectangular steel mainframe manufactured from high-strength structural Q345 steel sections. This grade of structural steel combines good yield strength with excellent weldability, resulting in a frame that resists the cyclic bending loads generated during reciprocating cutter operation without cracking at weld joints — a known failure point on lower-quality implements in humid tropical climates.
The cutter bar housing and its protective guards are fabricated from wear-resistant alloy steel plate, providing additional durability in the abrasive environment just above the soil surface. All 68 moving blades are die-stamped from heat-treated high-carbon steel to achieve a Rockwell hardness level sufficient for multi-season edge retention while remaining replaceable as low-cost standard spare parts. The 78 rake teeth are individually formed from high-tensile spring steel rod, surface-tempered to retain their curved working geometry under continuous cyclic loading against the ground without permanent bending or stress fracture.
Pivot joints and wheel axle assemblies use case-hardened steel pins running in sealed bronze or sintered bushings, which extend lubrication intervals significantly compared to plain steel-on-steel contact. The gearbox housing is cast from grey iron or ductile iron, with helical or bevel gear sets precision-ground to DIN or ISO tolerance grades to ensure smooth, low-noise power transmission even at rated PTO speed. Gearbox internals are filled with ISO VG 90 gear oil; an external drain plug and fill point make servicing straightforward without specialised tooling. External painted surfaces receive a corrosion-inhibiting primer coat followed by a durable polyurethane topcoat that withstands UV radiation, humidity, and fertiliser splash typical of Colombian grassland operations — protecting the trailed mower rake across multiple harvesting seasons with only standard washing maintenance.
5. Application Scenarios
Natural Pasture Harvesting — Colombian Llanos
The broad, flat savannahs of the Llanos Orientales in departments such as Meta, Casanare, and Arauca are ideal terrain for the EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 trailed mower rake. The machine’s 5-metre cutting width and stable rubber-tired undercarriage navigate these expansive grasslands efficiently, covering large areas per shift and producing windrows well-positioned for subsequent round-baler collection to support cattle and buffalo herds.
Planted Forage Grass Fields
Cultivated stands of Brachiaria, Panicum maximum (Guinea grass), or hybrid Napier grass benefit greatly from clean, consistent reciprocating-blade harvesting. The trailed mower rake maintains the 60–70 mm stubble height that promotes rapid perennial regrowth, while the integrated rake action gathers the high-moisture material before unwanted fermentation or rain damage can reduce quality — important for silage-making operations supplying intensive dairy farms in Cundinamarca or Antioquia.
Gently Sloping Andean Grasslands
Foothills and rolling terrain at mid-elevation in Colombia’s coffee and cattle zones present moderate slope challenges that the EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 handles capably. The machine’s low working-state height of just 850 mm and its wide, stable tyre track give it a solid centre of gravity when paired with appropriate four-wheel-drive tractors on gradients up to approximately 12–15%, extending the usable harvest area beyond strictly flat ground.
Hay Production for Cattle & Dairy Farms
Producing dry hay in tropical climates requires swift action between cutting and baling to beat afternoon rainfall. Because the trailed mower rake performs both functions in one pass, operators can reduce the window between cutting and windrow formation from hours to minutes, directly improving hay quality by lowering the risk of rain-induced respiration losses and mould development — a well-recognised advantage for hay-export operations and domestic feedlot suppliers alike.
Windrow Preparation for Round Baler Integration
The EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 trailed mower rake is designed to work seamlessly ahead of a round baler in a two-machine harvesting system. The rake teeth form a dense, consistent windrow of the right width and density for standard 1.2–1.4 m chamber balers, allowing the baler operator to maintain a steady forward speed without stopping for re-positioning — a key factor in achieving maximum daily bale output and completing the harvest cycle before weather changes.
6. Regulatory Standards & Compliance — Gearboxes and Agricultural Machinery
Buyers and importers of agricultural equipment including the trailed mower rake should be aware of applicable technical and safety regulations in their market. Compliance not only satisfies legal requirements but also protects operators and ensures machinery remains insurable and eligible for government support programmes.
Colombia
In Colombia, agricultural machinery falls under the oversight of the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA) and must comply with national technical norms (NTC) published by ICONTEC. Road transport of wide implements like the EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 Trailed Mower Rake must observe Resolución 4100 de 2004 and its updates regarding maximum vehicle and implement widths on public roads — typically 2.5 m without special transport permits. Operators intending to move the machine between farms on public roads should consult local transport authorities for oversized-load procedures given the 5.6-metre transport width. The tractor itself must be road-registered and carry the mandatory SOAT (Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes de Tránsito) insurance. For gearbox fluids, local environmental regulations under Law 99 of 1993 (Ley 99) require proper disposal of used oils; operators should use certified collection points to avoid fines.
European Union
Equipment destined for EU member states must satisfy the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which covers design safety, guarding, and documentation requirements including CE marking. PTO-driven implements like the trailed mower rake must also comply with EN ISO 4254-7 (agricultural machinery — safety — mowers) and ensure PTO shaft guards meet EN 12965. Gearboxes in agricultural machinery for the EU market are typically designed to ISO gear rating standards, and hydraulic circuits must comply with pressure and hose specifications laid out in relevant machinery-specific EN standards.
United States & Canada
ASABE Standard S493 defines PTO-driven implement safety requirements widely referenced in North America. Gearbox design and lubrication practices in this market often follow AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) standards. For transport, the US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and individual state DOT regulations set width and flag/lighting requirements for wide farm implements on public roads.
ISO International Standards
Regardless of destination market, the EP-9GL-5.0/5.6 Trailed Mower Rake is designed with reference to ISO 8210 (mowers — test methods) and ISO 11684 series (safety signs). Gearbox gear oil recommendations follow ISO viscosity grade classifications. Buyers operating in markets with their own national standards — such as NMX in Mexico, ABNT in Brazil, or IRAM in Argentina — are advised to verify local import and machinery-registration requirements before procurement, as Latin American standards in many cases align closely with ISO references but may carry additional labelling or registration steps.
