2. Revolutionizing Forage Harvest: The 9LZ-6.0 Disc-Type Hay Rake<\/h2>\n
In the high-stakes environment of modern agriculture, particularly within the intensive livestock farming sectors of South Korea’s Jeollabuk-do and Chungcheongnam-do provinces, the efficiency of forage harvesting is directly linked to profitability. The 9LZ-6.0 Disc-type hay rake (also known as a finger-wheel rake) represents the pinnacle of ground-driven harvesting technology. Unlike complex PTO-driven rotary rakes that consume significant tractor horsepower, this 12-wheel giant utilizes the forward momentum of the tractor to gently turn and windrow hay. With a massive working width of 6.0 meters, it is engineered to cover vast acreages of Italian Ryegrass (IRG), alfalfa, and rice straw with minimal fuel consumption.<\/p>\n
The structural integrity of the 9LZ-6.0 is built to withstand the rigors of uneven terrain often found in reclaimed agricultural lands. It features a heavy-duty chassis supported by independent suspension on each rake wheel, allowing for superior ground contouring. This “floating” capability ensures that the tines pick up the crop cleanly without engaging the soil, thereby reducing ash content in the final silage or bale. For Korean farmers who often struggle with labor shortages, the high productivity rate of 4.2 to 6.0 hectares per hour means that a single operator can do the work of three smaller machines. Furthermore, the hydraulic lifting mechanism allows for seamless transition between working and transport modes, making it easy to navigate narrow rural roads between paddy fields.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n3. Engineering Excellence: Working Principles, Materials, and Application Scenarios<\/h2>\n
The operational heart of the 9LZ-6.0 lies in its ground-driven finger-wheel design. Unlike a rotary hay rake which requires a PTO connection and gearboxes, the 9LZ-6.0 is purely traction-based. It features 12 individual finger wheels, each equipped with 60 high-tensile spring steel tines. As the rake moves forward at speeds of 7 to 10 km\/h, the angle of the wheels relative to the direction of travel causes them to rotate. This rotation gently sweeps the crop diagonally across the width of the machine, consolidating it into a central or side windrow (depending on configuration). This durability is essential when harvesting rice straw in dried paddy fields, where uneven ground is common.<\/p>\n
Regarding application scenarios, the 9LZ-6.0 is incredibly versatile but excels in specific conditions. It is the ideal tool for “Speed Raking” in large, open fields of dry hay or wilted silage. In the context of the South Korean market, it is particularly effective for managing heavy rice straw residues after the combine harvester has passed. The rake’s ability to flip and fluff the straw promotes rapid air circulation, reducing moisture content to levels suitable for round baling. However, operators should note that while it is robust, it is distinct from a wheel hay rake designed for heavy wet silage muck; the 9LZ-6.0 is optimized for speed and efficiency in curing crops. Its low power requirement (minimum 35 HP) makes it compatible with older or smaller utility tractors, maximizing the utility of your existing machinery fleet.<\/p>\n

4. Global Standards and Regional Regulatory Compliance (Korea Focus)<\/h2>\n
Navigating the regulatory landscape of agricultural machinery is paramount for ensuring operator safety and legal compliance. The 9LZ-6.0 Disc-type hay rake is manufactured in strict adherence to international safety standards, specifically aligning with ISO 4254-10 (Agricultural machinery \u2013 Safety \u2013 Part 10: Rotary tedders and rakes). This standard governs the guarding of moving parts, stability during transport, and hitch integrity. For our valued clients in South Korea, we ensure that our equipment meets the rigorous testing criteria established by the Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency (KOAT). This includes compliance with road transport regulations regarding width and lighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been using the 9LZ-6.0 in our alfalfa fields here in Meta, and the efficiency is incredible. The 6-meter working width really saves us time compared to other models we\u2019ve tried. Plus, it’s so simple to use with the ground-driven system \u2014 no need for complex PTO setups. It handles our heavy rice straw perfectly, and the windrows are always well-formed and dry. Definitely worth the investment!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nJinwoo, Ranch Owner \u2013 South Korea<\/strong>
\u201cAs a dairy farmer in Jeollabuk-do, I needed something reliable and easy to maintain. The 9LZ-6.0 has been amazing. It’s perfect for handling our rice straw after harvest. The rake’s wide 6-meter span allows me to finish large fields in no time. It\u2019s simple, energy-efficient, and the low-power requirement makes it ideal for my 45HP tractor. I can\u2019t imagine working without it now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMiguel, Livestock Farm Owner \u2013 Spain<\/strong>
\u201cWorking in the rolling hills of Andalucia, I was looking for a hay rake that could handle our varied terrain. The 9LZ-6.0 performs fantastically. The hydraulic lift system makes it easy to adjust the rake, and the flexibility of the tines means I get a clean cut every time without disturbing the soil. It\u2019s the ideal machine for our farm, especially during the dry hay season. Highly recommend it!\u201d<\/p>\n
