Description
EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower
Model 9GS-5.0 | Reciprocating Dual-Cutter System | 5 m Cutting Width
20–30 kW | 2.4–2.8 ha/h Productivity | Single-Operator | Colombia & Latin America Ready
Built around a proven reciprocating-type dual-cutter mechanism, this towable mower attaches to any standard wheeled tractor equipped with a rear PTO shaft, delivering a full 5-meter cutting width in a single pass. For cattle farms, dairy operations, and forage producers in Colombia’s major grazing regions — including the Llanos Orientales, Córdoba, Cesar, and Antioquia — the ability to cover 2.4 to 2.8 hectares per hour with just one operator represents a meaningful step forward in operational efficiency.
What distinguishes the EP-9GS-5.0 from conventional single-blade tractor mowers is straightforward: two synchronized reciprocating cutter bars work simultaneously, meaning each pass across a paddock covers twice the ground compared to a typical 2.5-meter single-cutter model. Combine that with a modest 20–30 kW tractor power requirement, and you have a lawnmower traction setup that suits the mid-range tractors already found on most Colombian farms without demanding an expensive equipment upgrade. The hydraulic lifting system handles cutter bar elevation and lowering from inside the cab, keeping headland turns fast and field transitions smooth throughout the working day.
This traction double blade lawn mower is particularly suited to flat or gently rolling natural pastures and cultivated forage fields. It performs reliably in common Colombian forage crops including kikuyu grass, guinea grass, and natural mixed pastures. It is not recommended for paddy fields, dense forests, heavily stoned terrain, or wetland environments. The machine conforms to the reciprocating mower standard GB/T10940-2008 and carries an Agricultural Machinery Test Certificate, providing documented assurance of performance.

2. Five Key Advantages of the EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower
① 5-Meter Dual-Cut Swath Width
By operating two synchronized reciprocating cutter bars at once, the EP-9GS-5.0 traction double blade lawn mower covers a complete 5-meter swath per pass — effectively doubling the ground cleared compared to any standard single-cutter machine. In practice this means fewer total passes, significantly less tractor fuel consumed per hectare, and considerably shorter total field time across large pasture areas. For Colombian farms managing extensive grazing land, this productivity advantage compresses the mowing window without requiring additional machinery or operators.
② Compact Power Demand — 20–30 kW
One of the standout features of this traction double blade lawn mower is how little power it requires relative to its cutting width. A tractor in the 27–40 hp range is entirely sufficient to operate the EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower at full capacity. This matches the common tractor inventory found on small-to-medium Colombian agricultural operations, meaning farms can add wide-swath mowing capability without replacing or supplementing their existing prime movers. Lower horsepower requirements also translate directly into reduced hourly fuel expenditure during extended mowing sessions.
③ Full Hydraulic Cutter Control
Raising and lowering both cutter bars is managed entirely through the tractor’s existing hydraulic circuit, with no manual ground-level adjustment required. This design choice has real practical implications: the operator never needs to leave the tractor seat during normal field work, headland turnarounds are faster because the cutters can be elevated and re-engaged in seconds, and the machine responds immediately if sudden terrain changes require lifting the cutting mechanism. The result is a smoother, faster, and less fatiguing working day for the sole operator running the machine.
④ Single-Operator Complete Workflow
From field entry to finish, one tractor driver handles all aspects of operation without any additional ground crew. This single-operator capability is a meaningful labor cost advantage for Colombian and Latin American farms where the cost of seasonal mowing labor adds up considerably over a full growing season. It also simplifies scheduling and reduces the coordination overhead that comes with multi-person machinery operations. Clear, simple controls mean that operators can be trained quickly and confidently on this lawnmower traction system without extensive prior experience.
⑤ Certified Performance Standard
The EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower is manufactured in compliance with the GB/T10940-2008 reciprocating mower standard and holds an official Agricultural Machinery Test Certificate. For buyers evaluating traction double blade lawn mower options in Colombia’s import-regulated agricultural market, these certifications represent documented third-party validation of the machine’s design and output consistency. When sourcing equipment across international borders, having a clear certification trail matters both for customs compliance and for long-term supplier accountability — two factors that matter to professional farm operators making significant capital equipment decisions.
3. Working Principle of the Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower
The EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower uses a reciprocating cutter-bar mechanism — one of the longest-proven and most reliable cutting principles in agricultural machinery — scaled up to a dual-bar configuration for wide-area efficiency. Understanding the mechanical sequence from power input to cut grass helps operators tune performance and manage maintenance intervals correctly throughout the machine’s working life.
Drive power enters the system at the tractor’s rear PTO shaft, which runs at the standard 540 r/min output speed. A heavy-duty driveshaft with universal joints transmits this rotation forward to the machine’s central gearbox. The gearbox converts incoming rotational movement into the high-frequency side-to-side oscillation that drives the reciprocating blades. A side output shaft on the machine itself operates at 1,240 r/min — higher than the PTO input speed — to generate the rapid blade reciprocation necessary for a clean shear through dense grass stems and forage crops. The dual output arrangement sends this oscillating drive simultaneously to both cutter bars, which are arranged symmetrically in the side-traction layout to cover the full 5-meter cutting band in a single machine pass.
As the tractor advances at 6–7 km/h across the field, the cutter bars oscillate rapidly, trapping grass between the stationary finger guards and the moving blade segments. The shear action severs each stem cleanly, leaving a consistent stubble height of 60–70 mm above the soil surface. This stubble height is agronomically significant for managed pastures — it preserves enough leaf material and root energy reserves to encourage prompt, vigorous regrowth after mowing, which matters greatly in rotational grazing systems common on Colombian cattle farms. Cut material falls in a loose, even row behind the machine, ready for sun-drying or raking depending on whether the operator is managing fresh pasture or harvesting forage for silage and hay production.
The entire drivetrain — from PTO coupling through gearbox to dual cutter oscillation — is engineered for minimal energy loss, which is the fundamental reason that a 5-meter dual blade lawn mower on tracks-equivalent coverage can be achieved with just 20–30 kW of tractor output. The hydraulic integration with the tractor’s three-point or top-link system allows instant cutter lift and re-engagement without interrupting forward travel, keeping cumulative non-productive field time low and sustaining the 2.4–2.8 ha/h rated productivity across full operating days.
4. Materials and Build Quality
The EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower is constructed with a focus on durability in demanding field conditions. The main frame is fabricated from high-strength structural steel, welded using controlled processes to ensure consistent joint integrity across the entire machine frame. This steel-intensive construction gives the machine its 750 kg structural mass, which translates into stability during operation on uneven ground and resistance to the vibrations inherent in dual reciprocating cutter operation.
The reciprocating cutter bars themselves use high-carbon hardened steel blade segments, which maintain a serviceable cutting edge over extended working hours in tough natural pasture conditions. Blade segments are designed as wear items and are individually replaceable, meaning that sourcing traction double blade lawn mower parts for routine blade replacement is straightforward and cost-effective — operators do not need to replace entire cutter bar assemblies when only the blade segments are worn. The finger guards, which cooperate with the moving blades to shear grass stems, are similarly made from heat-treated steel to resist deformation from occasional contact with field debris.
The central gearbox housing is cast from ductile iron, providing the combination of rigidity and impact resistance necessary for a component that experiences continuous cyclic loading during field work. All internal gear elements are precision-machined and oil-bathed for long service intervals. The driveshaft connecting the tractor PTO to the machine uses heavy-duty universal joints capable of handling the angular deflections that occur when the tractor turns or traverses uneven terrain. Protective paint coating — applied over a rust-inhibiting primer — gives the machine its corrosion resistance in the humid conditions common in Colombia’s tropical and subtropical farming zones. This attention to material selection at each functional component ensures that the reciprocating dual-cutter grassland mower can sustain consistent performance season after season with straightforward periodic maintenance.
5. Application Scenarios
The EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower is a versatile wide-cut traction double blade lawn mower suited to a range of grassland and forage management contexts. The following scenarios represent the primary applications where this machine delivers the greatest value.
Natural Pasture Mowing — Colombia Llanos & Savanna
Colombia’s extensive Llanos Orientales and interior savanna grasslands cover vast areas of flat-to-rolling terrain ideal for the EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower’s operating parameters. Cattle ranchers managing large natural pastures can cycle through entire paddocks efficiently, controlling grass height to optimize grazing rotations. The 5-meter dual-cut swath reduces the time required to mow large blocks without sacrificing cut quality, and the 60–70 mm stubble height aligns well with the regrowth requirements of native tropical grasses.
Cultivated Forage Crop Harvesting
For Colombian and regional dairy and beef operations growing cultivated forages — including kikuyu, star grass, and signal grass — the EP-9GS-5.0 traction double blade lawn mower provides a reliable first-cut tool ahead of raking and baling operations. The consistent 60–70 mm stubble height preserves the growing point of perennial forages, supporting rapid regrowth for subsequent cuts. The even swath left behind the machine is well-suited for follow-up work with finger-wheel rakes or tedders before round-baling.
Ranch Road Verge & Buffer Strip Management
Many Colombian cattle and mixed farms maintain road verges, drainage buffer strips, and property boundary grass margins that need periodic mowing to remain accessible and fire-safe during dry seasons. The EP-9GS-5.0 ‘s towable design and relatively compact 2,800 mm frame length make it manageable on access tracks while the 5-meter cutting width handles wide open verge areas efficiently. This secondary application helps justify the machine’s investment cost across tasks beyond main pasture mowing.
Hay and Silage Pre-Cut on Level Terrain
When integrated into a full hay or silage workflow, the EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower serves as the first-pass mowing tool on flat or gently sloped paddocks. Its 2.4–2.8 ha/h work rate allows a single machine-operator combination to cut enough material in a full day to keep raking and baling equipment fully supplied. The wide dual-blade lawn mower on tracks-equivalent coverage converts what would otherwise be a two-machine mowing operation into a single-unit task, reducing fuel and operator cost per tonne of harvested forage.
Agri-Tourism and Large Grounds Maintenance
Beyond strictly agricultural applications, large rural estates, eco-lodges, and agri-tourism properties in Colombia’s coffee and highland regions maintain extensive lawns and meadow areas that require consistent mowing. The EP-9GS-5.0 Traction Double Blade Lawn Mower’s clean cut finish and adjustable stubble height make it suitable for managing these ornamental grassland areas efficiently, covering ground far faster than smaller ride-on or push-type equipment while still producing a neat, even result valued in amenity settings.
6. Regulatory Compliance and Standards
Agricultural machinery imported and operated in Colombia and across Latin America is subject to a range of national and international standards covering equipment safety, gearbox and drivetrain construction, operator protection, and import certification. Understanding the relevant regulatory landscape helps buyers and operators ensure that a traction double blade lawn mower acquired for professional use meets all applicable requirements.
Colombia — ICONTEC and ICA Requirements
In Colombia, agricultural machinery is governed in part by standards developed or adopted by ICONTEC (Instituto Colombiano de Normas Técnicas y Certificación). Equipment imported for commercial agricultural use may require conformity assessment under applicable NTC (Norma Técnica Colombiana) standards. The Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario (ICA) regulates the registration and use of agricultural inputs and equipment; operators should verify current ICA registration requirements for imported mowing equipment. Colombia’s labor safety framework under Decreto 1072 de 2015 (Decreto Único Reglamentario del Sector Trabajo) also applies to tractor and implement operators, requiring appropriate operator training, protective equipment use, and documented risk assessments for machinery operation in the field.
Gearbox and Drivetrain Safety — International Standards
The gearbox and PTO drivetrain elements of the EP-9GS-5.0 are relevant to several international standards. ISO 4254-7 (Agricultural Machinery — Safety — Part 7: Combine Harvesters, Forage Harvesters and Cotton Harvesters) and the broader ISO 4254 series establish safety requirements for agricultural machinery that include drivetrain guarding and PTO shaft coupling protection. The European Union’s Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC requires that any PTO-driven equipment sold in EU markets carry CE marking and conform to harmonized safety standards including EN ISO 4254, which directly addresses cutter bar, driveshaft guarding, and gearbox safety features. While Colombia is not an EU member, these international benchmarks are widely referenced in Latin American agricultural machinery procurement specifications.
USA — ANSI/ASABE Standards for Agricultural Equipment
The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) publishes standards including ASABE S207 (Power Take-Off Definitions and Terminology) and ASABE AD S318 (Mower Guards) that define safe PTO shaft design and mower guard requirements widely referenced by international agricultural equipment suppliers. These voluntary standards are recognized as best-practice benchmarks by buyers in Colombia and across Latin America who regularly source equipment from markets following these specifications.
Brazil — ABNT NBR Standards
Brazil’s Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT) has adopted several agricultural machinery safety standards including ABNT NBR ISO 11684 governing safety signs and hazard markings on agricultural equipment. Given the close trade relationship between Colombia and Brazil within the Mercosur framework, and the significant cross-border agricultural machinery trade in South America, familiarity with ABNT standards is useful for Colombian operators and importers evaluating machinery specifications and safety documentation from suppliers across the region.
