Product Overview<\/h2>\n

The standard approach to hay and silage production runs two separate field operations: first, the mower cuts and lays a wide swath; then the rake comes through later to consolidate that cut material into a narrower, baler-ready windrow. Two passes, two sets of tractor hours, two opportunities for weather to interrupt the process. The 9GL-2.5\/2.9 Traction Mower Windrower collapses those two operations into one: the reciprocating cutter cuts at 2.5 m, and the integrated 42-tooth rake immediately consolidates the cut material into a 2.9 m windrow behind the machine. One pass, one operator, both tasks done.<\/p>\n

The machine is sized for the 25\u201355 kW tractor range \u2014 tractors that are common across mid-size Australian farms, hobby properties, and smaller grazing operations that cannot justify the power and capital cost of a full mower-conditioner. The 920 kg machine weight and 540 rpm PTO suit the compact-to-mid utility tractors that run these operations: Kubota M Series (25\u201350 kW), John Deere 3 and 4 Series (25\u201350 kW), Massey Ferguson 4700 Series (30\u201355 kW), and New Holland T4 Series (30\u201355 kW) are all compatible.<\/p>\n

Productivity runs 1.2\u20131.44 hm\u00b2\/h in mowing mode and 1.5\u20131.8 hm\u00b2\/h in windrowing mode at 6\u20137 km\/h working speed. That covers 12\u201318 ha per day in a full operating session \u2014 a practical daily output for the farm producing 200\u2013800 bales per season from mixed pastures, oaten hay, or light cereal crops. The 60\u201370 mm cut height protects pasture regrowth across repeated cuts, and the transport configuration at 3,100 \u00d7 2,920 \u00d7 2,900 mm is road-registerable without an oversize-load permit on rural roads.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Core Features \u2014 The Two-in-One Advantage<\/h2>\n

Single-Pass Cut and Windrow \u2014 Halving Field Time<\/h3>\n

The economic case for a combined mower-windrower rests on a single calculation: how many tractor hours does the second pass cost per season? On a farm mowing 80 ha of hay per year, a separate raking pass adds approximately 50\u201360 tractor hours at 1.5\u20131.8 ha\/h with a conventional rake \u2014 equivalent to 5\u20136 full working days of additional tractor time beyond the cutting pass. The 9GL-2.5\/2.9 eliminates those hours entirely. For owner-operators where the tractor operator’s time is the farm’s scarcest resource during the harvest window, that saving is not theoretical.<\/p>\n

42-Tooth Integrated Rake \u2014 Windrow Quality Without a Second Machine<\/h3>\n

The 42 rake teeth are positioned immediately behind the cutting bar, with 71 mm tooth spacing that gathers cut material cleanly across the full 2.5 m cutting width and consolidates it into a 2.9 m windrow. The wider 2.9 m windrow versus the 2.5 m cutting width reflects the rake’s outward sweep geometry \u2014 it gathers more surface area than the cutter covers, pulling in any material that falls outside the direct cutting path. This wider-than-cut windrow is actually desirable for wilting: a 2.9 m windrow exposes more cut surface area to air and sun per unit length of paddock than a narrower one, which accelerates moisture loss and reduces the time between cutting and baling.<\/p>\n

Reciprocating 34-Blade Cutter \u2014 60\u201370 mm Clean Height<\/h3>\n

The same proven reciprocating cutting mechanism used in the 9GD-2.5 standalone mower delivers a clean, consistent 60\u201370 mm cut across the full 2.5 m width. The shearing action produces stem ends that heal faster and present less fungal entry point than the torn ends a rotary cutter produces on thick grass at lower forward speeds. On perennial ryegrass and mixed pasture that will be mown three to four times per season, cut quality at each mowing directly influences regrowth rate and yield at the subsequent cut.<\/p>\n

25\u201355 kW Power Range \u2014 Mid Tractor Territory<\/h3>\n

The 25\u201355 kW requirement covers the tractors that mid-size Australian farms actually run day-to-day. At the lower end \u2014 a 27 hp Kubota or Mahindra \u2014 the machine operates at the lower end of the forward-speed range on moderate pasture density. At 40\u201355 kW, the full 6\u20137 km\/h range is available on heavy crop without approaching the machine’s PTO load ceiling. The 540 rpm PTO standard suits this tractor class consistently without requiring a speed adapter.<\/p>\n

920 kg \u2014 Road-Registerable Without Oversize Permit<\/h3>\n

The 920 kg machine weight sits well within the tow-weight capability of tractors at the lower end of the power range, and the 3,100 \u00d7 2,920 \u00d7 2,900 mm transport configuration is within the standard road-legal width limit for rural roads on all Australian states without a permit. Moving between paddocks via farm laneways or rural roads requires no special preparation \u2014 unhitch, fold to transport, and go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"9GL-2.5\/2.9<\/div>\n
\n

How the 9GL-2.5\/2.9 Works<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Step 01<\/div>\n
PTO-Driven Cutter Bar<\/div>\n

The 34-blade reciprocating cutter engages at 540 rpm PTO and cuts crop cleanly at 60\u201370 mm height across the full 2.5 m working width. Forward speed of 6\u20137 km\/h delivers clean cutting without overloading the blades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 02<\/div>\n
Immediate Rake Consolidation<\/div>\n

Cut material passes directly to the 42-tooth rake section positioned immediately behind the cutter bar. The rake consolidates the cut swath into a 2.9 m windrow in a single continuous motion \u2014 no waiting, no second pass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 03<\/div>\n
2.9 m Windrow Laid<\/div>\n

The wider 2.9 m windrow maximises cut-surface exposure to sun and air for faster wilting while keeping material in a coherent windrow that the baler pickup can handle cleanly. Windrow density is consistent because the rake feeds from the cutter continuously rather than gathering and releasing in batches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 04<\/div>\n
Wilt and Bale<\/div>\n

The conditioned windrow wilts to target moisture. The baler follows and picks up the 2.9 m windrow in a single pass. No raking pass required before baling \u2014 the mower-windrower has already done that work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

One operational detail that first-time users notice: the 9GL-2.5\/2.9 is more sensitive to forward speed than a standalone mower because the rake section needs consistent material flow to maintain windrow uniformity. At 6 km\/h on thick grass, the windrow is dense and even. At 7 km\/h, slightly lighter but still well-formed. Above 7 km\/h, windrow uniformity begins to suffer on heavy crops. Staying within the rated speed range is the single most important operating discipline with this machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Applications \u2014 One Machine Across the Forage Calendar<\/h2>\n

Mixed Pasture \u2014 Multiple Annual Cuts<\/h3>\n

The farm mowing ryegrass, clover, and mixed native pasture four to five times per year gets the largest benefit from combined mow-and-windrow: every cut saves a full raking pass, and the saving compounds across the season. On a 30 ha farm making four cuts, the avoided raking passes add up to roughly 80 tractor hours and 240\u2013300 km of paddock travel per season. That figure includes fuel, tractor wear, and operator time \u2014 all genuinely recaptured by the single-pass approach.<\/p>\n

Oaten Hay & Cereal Crops \u2014 Single-Cut Operations<\/h3>\n

For farms producing oaten hay or cereal-crop hay in a single annual cut, the time-saving advantage is smaller in absolute terms but the simplicity benefit remains. One machine handles both mowing and windrowing on the day’s cut, freeing the operator from scheduling a return raking pass on the following day. On farms where weather-window timing is critical, removing the raking pass from the sequence genuinely reduces the minimum time-to-bale from cut.<\/p>\n

Small Silage Blocks \u2014 1\u201315 ha<\/h3>\n

Small silage blocks on lifestyle farms, horse properties, and beef hobby farms typically make one or two cuts per year. The 9GL-2.5\/2.9 handles these blocks in a morning’s work at the 1.2\u20131.44 hm\u00b2\/h mowing rate, leaving the afternoon for the baler to follow. For operations of this scale, owning both a standalone mower and a separate rake represents an overcapitalisation that the combined machine avoids \u2014 one purchase, one storage space, one service schedule.<\/p>\n

Neighbourhood Machinery Groups<\/h3>\n

Groups of farmers sharing equipment find that a single 9GL-2.5\/2.9 serves multiple properties across the mowing season without the scheduling complexity of coordinating a mower and a rake as separate machines. The combined machine moves between properties on a single float trip, and any farm in the group with a 25+ kW tractor can run it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Maintenance \u2014 Cutter Bar and Rake Together<\/h2>\n

Before Each Use<\/h3>\n

Inspect the 34 cutter blades for chips or cracks. Check the 42 rake teeth for bending \u2014 a bent rake tooth disrupts windrow formation at its position and produces a gap in the consolidation that is visible in the windrow. Bent rake teeth can be straightened with a heavy wrench if caught early, or replaced from the spare set. Grease the two main PTO input nipples and the rake drive gearing.<\/p>\n

Every 20 Operating Hours<\/h3>\n

Check blade edge condition and sharpen any blade at or past the wear threshold. Inspect the rake tooth mounting bolts for loosening \u2014 the rake section vibrates at working speed and tooth mounting bolts can work loose on rough paddocks. Torque to specification. Clean the rake tooth section of any hay or grass accumulation, particularly around the tooth root \u2014 packed material at the root changes the effective rake angle and reduces windrow consolidation quality.<\/p>\n

End of Season<\/h3>\n

Replace all 34 cutter blades as a set, sharpen or replace all 42 rake teeth. Inspect the cutter bar for straightness and the rake frame for any frame cracks at the weld points, particularly at the cutter-to-rake frame junction where stress concentrates during combined operation. Store with cutter bar lowered. EverPower holds blade sets, rake tooth sets, and PTO drive components at Condell Park for next-day east coast delivery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\nCan the mowing and windrowing functions be used independently?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Yes \u2014 the rake section can be lifted out of engagement while the cutter bar continues to operate, allowing the machine to function as a plain 2.5 m mower without the windrowing function. This is useful when the operator wants to cut without consolidating \u2014 for example on very dense crops where a wider spread for initial wilting is preferred before a raking pass the following day.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat is the practical daily coverage on a mixed pasture paddock?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
At 6 km\/h working speed on a typical 20 ha paddock with standard headland turns and paddock shape, the 9GL-2.5\/2.9 covers 10\u201312 ha\/day<\/strong> in a full 8\u20139 hour working day allowing for turning and repositioning time. On flat, square paddocks at 6.5\u20137 km\/h, 13\u201314 ha per day is achievable. A 30 ha farm typically completes a full cut in 2.5\u20133 working days.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nHow does windrow width of 2.9 m benefit baling compared to a 2.5 m mower windrow?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
A 2.9 m windrow exposes approximately 16% more cut surface per metre of windrow length than a 2.5 m swath. On a warm, still morning, that additional surface area measurably accelerates moisture loss from the cut material. The baler also picks up a 2.9 m windrow more efficiently at moderate forward speeds than a very narrow concentrated windrow, because the wider spread feeds more evenly into the pickup tine bank without the bunching that occurs when a narrow windrow hits the centre of a wide pickup.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nIs the machine compatible with transport wagons for steep or soft paddocks?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Yes \u2014 the standard traction hitch is compatible with all common transport wagon configurations. The 920 kg machine weight loads well within the transport capacity of wagons typically used with 25\u201355 kW tractors. For very soft ground, transporting on a wagon rather than towing direct reduces soil compaction from the machine’s own wheel load.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat warranty covers the 9GL-2.5\/2.9?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
2-year whole-machine warranty<\/strong> from EverPower Australia. Cutter blades, rake teeth, PTO drive components, and mounting hardware stocked at Condell Park NSW for 72-hour national delivery.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n
