Working Principle

The 9GL-2.5/2.9 mower rake operates on a traction-based mechanism, powered by the rear-mounted power output shaft of a compatible tractor with a power range of 25-55KW (35-75 horsepower). The machine is designed to perform two primary functions simultaneously: cutting grass and collecting it into rows. When the tractor moves forward, the mower rake’s cutting blades, driven by the tractor’s power output, slice through grass with precision. These blades are engineered to handle both natural grass and planted grass efficiently, ensuring clean and consistent cuts even on flat or slightly sloped terrains.

As the grass is being cut, the machine’s collection system gathers the cut material and arranges it into neat, uniform rows. This is accomplished through the coordinated action of the rake mechanism, which sweeps the grass into rows while preventing scattering. The rubber wheels provide stable traction and support, enabling the mower rake to operate smoothly over diverse terrains without damaging the grassland. This feature is particularly beneficial for preparing hay, as the neat rows facilitate faster drying and easier bundling or baling.

The integrated design of the 9GL-2.5/2.9 mower rake eliminates the need for separate cutting and collecting equipment, streamlining the harvesting process and maximizing efficiency. By automating the dual functions of grass-cutting and row formation, it reduces labor requirements and saves time, making it an indispensable tool for modern farming operations. Its adaptability to different terrains, combined with its precise and reliable performance, ensures optimal productivity while minimizing wear and tear on the machine and the tractor. This working principle exemplifies efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, meeting the demands of large-scale farming and grassland management.

Common Troubleshooting of Trailed Mower Rakes

1. Uneven Grass Cutting
Uneven cutting may occur due to dull or damaged blades. Inspect the blades regularly and sharpen or replace them when necessary. Additionally, ensure the mower rake is properly leveled and adjusted to the terrain. Incorrect height settings or loose connections can also lead to inconsistent cutting performance.

2. Poor Grass Collection or Row Formation
If the machine fails to collect grass effectively or form uniform rows, check the rake teeth for damage or misalignment. Replace any broken or bent teeth promptly. Ensure that the ground clearance and rake angle are set correctly to optimize grass collection and row formation, especially on uneven surfaces.

3. Frequent Blockages in the Mower Mechanism
Blockages can happen when the mower rake handles overly dense or wet grass. Regularly clean the cutting and collection components to prevent debris buildup. Operating at a slower speed in challenging conditions can also reduce blockages. Additionally, check the power output of the tractor to ensure it matches the mower rake’s requirements.

4. Vibration or Noise During Operation
Excessive vibration or loud noises often indicate loose or worn components, such as bolts, bearings, or drive belts. Inspect these parts regularly and tighten or replace them as needed. Proper lubrication of moving parts is essential to reduce friction, minimize wear, and ensure smooth operation.

5. Machine Dragging or Poor Traction
Dragging may result from inadequate tire pressure or worn rubber wheels. Check the tire pressure and inflate to the recommended level. Replace heavily worn wheels to restore proper traction. Additionally, ensure that the mower rake is not overloaded, as excessive weight can burden the wheels and reduce efficiency.

6. Power Transmission Issues
If the mower rake fails to operate correctly, inspect the power connection between the tractor and the machine. Loose or damaged drive shafts, PTO (power take-off) components, or coupling points can disrupt power transmission. Regular maintenance and proper connection alignment are critical to preventing such issues.
