2. Revolutionizing Forage Management: The 9LH-12 Horizontal Hay Rake

In the expansive agricultural landscapes of South Korea, from the rolling pastures of Gangwon-do to the flatlands of Jeollabuk-do, the efficiency of forage harvesting is paramount for livestock sustainability. The 9LH-12 Horizontal Hay Rake emerges as a pinnacle of engineering, designed specifically to address the challenges of large-scale hay production. Unlike smaller, traditional rakes, this traction-type machine boasts an impressive 12-meter working width, allowing farmers to cover vast areas of natural and planted pastures with fewer passes. Powered by a modest 25-44 kW (35-60 HP) wheeled tractor, it offers an exceptional balance between energy consumption and output. The core function of the 9LH-12 is to gather cut forage—whether it be alfalfa, ryegrass, or oats—into neat, aerated windrows that are perpendicular to the machine’s direction of travel. This “side delivery” or horizontal action is crucial for subsequent baling operations, ensuring that the baler can pick up the crop continuously without interruption. By optimizing the windrow structure, this horizontal hay rake for sale not only speeds up the drying process but also minimizes leaf loss, preserving the nutritional value essential for high-quality Hanwoo beef and dairy production.

The structural integrity of the 9LH-12 is built to withstand the rigorous demands of modern farming. It features a robust chassis supported by durable rubber tires, ensuring stability even on uneven terrain. The raking mechanism utilizes 168 high-strength spring steel tines that gently comb the field, lifting the crop while leaving stones and soil behind. This capability is particularly vital in ensuring “clean forage,” free from ash contamination, which is a common issue with aggressive rotary systems. Furthermore, the 9LH-12 integrates a sophisticated hydraulic system connected to the tractor, allowing the operator to effortlessly raise and lower the raking arms from the comfort of the cab. This feature is not just about convenience; it is a safety necessity when navigating headlands or transporting the unit between scattered fields. For agricultural cooperatives and large farm owners in Korea looking to upgrade their fleet, the 9LH-12 represents a strategic investment in productivity, offering a superior alternative to searching for a used side hay rake that may lack the width and reliability of this modern implement.

3. Engineering Excellence: Working Principle, Material Science, and Application Scenarios

The operational heart of the 9LH-12 Horizontal Hay Rake lies in its transverse chain-and-tine mechanism. Unlike a hay rake rotary system that spins horizontally to the ground, the 9LH-12 uses a series of bars equipped with spring tines that move horizontally across the field width. As the tractor pulls the unit forward at speeds of 5 to 10 km/h, the tines sweep the cut crop sideways, depositing it into a uniform windrow. This method is scientifically proven to handle the crop more gently than high-speed rotary rakes, reducing leaf shatter in delicate legumes like clover or alfalfa. The width of the windrow is adjustable, allowing the operator to match the swath density to the capacity of the following baler or forage harvester. The tines are manufactured from heat-treated 65Mn spring steel, providing the resilience needed to flex over minor obstacles without breaking, while the main frame is constructed from Q345B structural steel, ensuring longevity under high-stress conditions.

Regarding application scenarios, the 9LH-12 is specifically tailored for “Large-Area Natural and Planted Pastures.” In the context of South Korean agriculture, this machine is ideal for the reclaimed lands of the West Coast (Seosan, Dangjin) where large, flat fields allow for high-speed operation. It effectively handles heavy, wet crops like Italian Ryegrass (IRG) silage, as well as dry hay. However, operators must note that while it is robust, it is designed for cleared fields. It is not suitable for forestry clearing or rocky wastelands where large boulders could damage the tine bars. The hydraulic folding mechanism transforms this 12-meter wide giant into a transport-friendly unit (9.4m length x 3.4m width), compliant with most rural road regulations. For farmers comparing this to a krone double rotary rake, the 9LH-12 offers a simpler mechanical drive with fewer gearboxes to maintain, translating to lower long-term ownership costs while maintaining high hectare-per-hour productivity.

4. Regulatory Compliance: Meeting Global and Korean Safety Standards

Navigating the regulatory landscape is essential for the importation and operation of agricultural machinery. The 9LH-12 Horizontal Hay Rake is manufactured in strict adherence to international safety standards, including ISO 4254-10 (Agricultural machinery – Safety – Part 10: Rotary tedders and rakes). This standard dictates the requirements for guarding moving parts, stability during transport, and the durability of the hitching mechanism. For our valued clients in South Korea, we ensure that our equipment aligns with the Agricultural Mechanization Promotion Act enforced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA).

Specifically, the machine is designed to pass the rigorous testing protocols of the Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency (KOAT). This includes ensuring that the hydraulic transport locks are fail-safe to prevent accidental deployment on public roads, and that all lighting and reflective signaling meet the Korean Road Traffic Act requirements for towed agricultural implements. Furthermore, regarding environmental compliance, the 9LH-12 supports sustainable farming practices. Its efficient clearing capability reduces the need for multiple passes, thereby lowering fuel consumption and soil compaction. We provide all necessary technical documentation, including Certificates of Origin and detailed operator manuals in English (and Korean upon request), to facilitate smooth customs clearance and subsidy applications where applicable in the target market.

7. 2025 Market Trends: The Demand for Scale and Quality

The agricultural machinery market in East Asia is undergoing a significant transformation. In South Korea specifically, the aging farming population is driving a trend towards “Maximum Efficiency with Minimum Labor.” Small, 3-meter rakes are being phased out in favor of wide-area implements like the 9LH-12. Data indicates a 25% year-on-year increase in searches for horizontal hay rake for sale and wide-width equipment. Furthermore, with the rising cost of imported feed, Korean livestock farmers are focusing intensely on the quality of domestic silage. They are moving away from wheel rakes, which often contaminate feed with soil, towards horizontal and rotary systems that provide cleaner forage. While the best rotary hay rake remains a popular search, the horizontal rake is gaining traction as a cost-effective alternative that offers similar “clean rake” benefits without the complexity of maintaining multiple oil-bath gearboxes found in European krone double rotary rake models. The 9LH-12 sits perfectly at this intersection of high capacity, crop protection, and mechanical simplicity.
