\"9GL-5.0\/5.6<\/div>\n
\n

Product Overview<\/h2>\n

Scale the 9GL-2.5\/2.9’s cut-and-windrow concept to 5.0 m and you have the 9GL-5.0\/5.6: a machine that covers 2.4\u20132.8 ha\/h in mowing mode and 3.0\u20133.6 ha\/h in windrowing mode \u2014 matching the daily output of a standalone 5 m disc mower while simultaneously eliminating the need for a separate raking pass. On a 100 ha operation making two cuts per season, the avoided raking passes represent 110\u2013140 tractor hours per year. Across a 10-year machine life, that is more than one full year of tractor time recovered.<\/p>\n

The 9GL-5.0\/5.6 achieves this coverage rate behind a 30\u201360 kW tractor \u2014 a deliberately modest power requirement for a 5 m working-width machine. The reciprocating cutter mechanism, rather than the rotary disc design that dominates the high-speed commercial segment, makes the modest power requirement possible. Reciprocating systems require significantly less PTO power per metre of cutting width than rotary disc equivalents, which is why a 40 kW tractor can realistically run a 5 m reciprocating cutter while struggling with a 3 m rotary disc mower.<\/p>\n

With 68 moving blades and 78 rake teeth, the machine carries the largest blade and tooth counts in the EverPower mower range. The 7,600 mm working width in operation mode makes this a large paddock tool \u2014 it suits properties with open paddock layouts rather than smaller, irregular blocks. The transport configuration folds to 5,600 mm width and 3,000 mm height for farm-road travel between paddocks, though the 5,600 mm transport width requires care on narrow farm laneways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Technical Features \u2014 Why 5 m Reciprocating Beats 3 m Rotary<\/h2>\n

5.0 m Reciprocating Cutter \u2014 High Coverage, Low Power Draw<\/h3>\n

The reciprocating mechanism’s fundamental advantage is power efficiency: a 5 m reciprocating cutter requires approximately 25\u201335 kW of PTO power at working load, versus 35\u201350 kW for a 3 m rotary disc mower at the same cutting rate. This power efficiency is why the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 can run behind a 30 kW tractor despite its large working width \u2014 the mechanical energy to move 68 blades back and forth is far less than the energy to spin rotary disc blades at 2,500+ rpm. The trade-off is forward speed: reciprocating systems are limited to 6\u20137 km\/h versus 12\u201320 km\/h for rotary. The 5 m width compensates for the lower speed in terms of area output \u2014 2.4 ha\/h at 7 km\/h with a 5 m cutter matches the coverage of a 3.5 m rotary at 12 km\/h.<\/p>\n

78-Tooth Rake \u2014 5.6 m Windrow from a 5.0 m Cut<\/h3>\n

Seventy-eight rake teeth at 71 mm spacing consolidate the 5.0 m cut swath into a 5.6 m windrow \u2014 a 12% wider consolidation than the cutting width. This outward sweep geometry gathers any material that falls at the cutting-width boundary into the windrow, preventing the thin edge strips that standalone mowers routinely leave which then get missed by the baler pickup on the first pass. The 5.6 m windrow is wide enough that a baler with a 2.0\u20132.4 m pickup needs two passes to collect it \u2014 a consideration operators account for in their paddock planning.<\/p>\n

2.4\u20132.8 ha\/h \u2014 Daily Coverage to Match Commercial Mowers<\/h3>\n

At 7 km\/h and 90% field efficiency, the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 covers 3.15 ha\/h net. In a 9-hour working day with headland time, 24\u201327 ha of coverage is typical on a flat, open paddock. That daily coverage figure sits comfortably above what most farms with a 5 m mowing operation need to process in a working day, meaning the machine is rarely the bottleneck in the cut-to-bale sequence on operations up to approximately 120 ha of annual mowing area.<\/p>\n

30\u201360 kW \u2014 Broader Tractor Compatibility Than Disc Mowers<\/h3>\n

A key practical advantage of the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 versus rotary disc alternatives at similar coverage rates is tractor compatibility. A 5 m disc mower typically requires 70\u2013100 kW to run reliably \u2014 putting it firmly in the large-tractor category. The 9GL-5.0\/5.6 runs on tractors from 30 kW upward, meaning a farm with a 45 kW tractor as its primary unit can run a 5 m cut without upgrading the tractor. That saved tractor capital is a genuine economic benefit in the machine purchase comparison.<\/p>\n

Stone Tolerance \u2014 Critical on Unimproved Pasture<\/h3>\n

On large-area operations including unimproved or semi-improved pastures \u2014 common on the western slopes of NSW, in WA’s pastoral regions, and across northern Queensland’s beef country \u2014 occasional stone contact is an unavoidable field reality. A reciprocating blade that strikes a stone at most chips the blade edge and requires replacement; a rotary disc blade striking the same stone can shatter the disc, destroy the cutter housing, and create a dangerous projectile situation. The 9GL-5.0\/5.6’s reciprocating design tolerates the stone-contact events that are statistically certain on large unimproved paddocks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"9GL-5.0\/5.6<\/div>\n
\n

How the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 Fits Into the Forage Programme<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Step 01<\/div>\n
Drive the Paddock<\/div>\n

Tractor and machine enter the paddock at 6\u20137 km\/h. The 7,600 mm working width covers 5.0 m cut width per pass; on a 200 m paddock, each pass covers 1,400 m\u00b2 in under three minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 02<\/div>\n
Cut and Rake Together<\/div>\n

The 68-blade reciprocating cutter cuts at 60\u201370 mm height. Cut material passes immediately to the 78-tooth rake, which consolidates the 5.0 m swath into a 5.6 m windrow in the same forward motion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 03<\/div>\n
Windrow Lies Ready for Wilting<\/div>\n

The 5.6 m windrow lies behind the machine, cut surfaces exposed to sun and air. No return raking pass needed \u2014 the windrow is already in baler-ready condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Step 04<\/div>\n
Baler Follows After Wilting<\/div>\n

Once target moisture is reached, the baler works through the 5.6 m windrow. At 2.0\u20132.4 m pickup width, the baler makes two passes per mowed strip, or the windrow is pre-raked to 1.8\u20132.0 m if a single-pass baler run is preferred.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The two-baler-pass requirement on the 5.6 m windrow is worth accounting for in field planning: on long, straight paddocks the baler typically works down one side of the windrow and returns on the other, maintaining forward efficiency. On irregular paddocks, pre-raking the 5.6 m windrow to 1.8 m with a wheel rake before baling is common practice \u2014 the one additional raking pass is still a net saving versus the two-pass (mow + rake) baseline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Applications \u2014 Large-Scale Forage Operations<\/h2>\n

Large Beef & Sheep Stations \u2014 50\u2013300+ ha Annual Mowing<\/h3>\n

Beef and sheep stations in NSW, QLD, SA, and WA making annual hay or silage cuts from large, open paddocks find the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 their most cost-effective cutting investment. The combination of a 5 m cut, avoided raking pass, and 30\u201360 kW power requirement means the station’s mid-range tractor handles the entire mowing operation without a dedicated mowing-tractor investment. On stations mowing 150+ ha per season, the machine’s daily coverage of 24\u201327 ha completes the cut in 6\u20137 days \u2014 a practical window for weather planning.<\/p>\n

Hay Contractors \u2014 Wide Coverage, Single Machine<\/h3>\n

Hay contractors visiting multiple properties during the mowing season value the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 for its ability to eliminate the raking schedule from the farm visit. A contractor who previously needed to mobilise both a mower and a rake for each property now completes the cutting phase in a single machine visit. The 5 m coverage rate allows a contractor to handle a larger daily area per client property, improving the economics of each site visit.<\/p>\n

Dryland Cereal Hay \u2014 Wide Paddocks, One Pass<\/h3>\n

Dryland cereal-hay operations in WA’s wheatbelt and NSW’s Riverina work large, flat, open paddocks where coverage rate is the primary operational variable. At 2.4\u20132.8 ha\/h, the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 covers 200+ ha of annual cutting area within practical timeframes using a mid-range tractor. The reciprocating blade’s stone tolerance is particularly relevant in these regions, where paddock preparation is variable and stone contact cannot be entirely avoided.<\/p>\n

Irrigation District Pasture \u2014 Multiple Annual Cuts<\/h3>\n

Irrigated pasture operations making three to five cuts per season per paddock benefit from the 9GL-5.0\/5.6’s time-saving compounding effect. Five cuts avoided of a raking pass represents five complete raking operations eliminated per paddock per season \u2014 a figure that multiplies quickly across a 50 ha irrigated block. The 540 rpm PTO standard also accommodates the older tractors that are common on established irrigation-district farms where fleet upgrading happens gradually.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 9GL-2.5\/2.9 is the correct choice for farms with compact tractors and paddock areas under 60 ha per season. The 9GL-5.0\/5.6 suits large-scale operations where coverage rate is the primary constraint and tractor power from 30+ kW is available. Both eliminate the raking pass \u2014 the decision is purely one of scale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Maintenance<\/h2>\n

Daily \u2014 68 Blades and 78 Teeth<\/h3>\n

Walk the full 5 m cutter bar and inspect all 68 blades for chips, cracks, or uneven edge wear before the first pass. On a 5 m bar, individual blade inspection takes an additional 2\u20133 minutes compared to the 2.5 m machine \u2014 time well spent given the replacement cost of a damaged section. Check all 78 rake teeth for bending; bent teeth on a 5 m windrower create visible gaps in the windrow that are difficult to correct after the fact. Grease the three main daily nipples on the PTO input, cutter gearbox, and rake drive.<\/p>\n

Every 15\u201320 Operating Hours<\/h3>\n

Check blade edge condition across the full bar \u2014 on a 5 m machine, edge wear is not always uniform across the width, particularly if the paddock has hard or stony sections on one side. Sharpen in the field if wear on individual blades is approaching threshold before a full-day run. Inspect rake tooth mounting bolts across all 78 positions for loosening; use a battery-powered impact driver rather than a hand wrench to speed up the torque check on the full tooth set.<\/p>\n

End of Season<\/h3>\n

Replace all 68 cutter blades as a matched set. Replace all 78 rake teeth showing wear. Inspect the folded transport joint at both cutter wing sections for any cracking at the hinge weld \u2014 this is the highest-stress point on the frame and the point that occasional paddock obstruction impacts affect first. EverPower stocks full blade and tooth replacement kits for the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 at Condell Park NSW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\nCan a 35 kW tractor run the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 on dense ryegrass?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Yes, with appropriate expectation-setting. At 35 kW on dense irrigated ryegrass, forward speed should be kept at 6 km\/h to avoid overloading the PTO drive. At this speed, coverage runs approximately 2.16 ha\/h. On lighter pasture or dry hay crops at 35 kW, the full 6\u20137 km\/h range is available. For consistent operation on heavy irrigated pastures, 45\u201355 kW provides comfortable headroom.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nDoes the baler need to make two passes to collect the 5.6 m windrow?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
This depends on the baler’s pickup width. Most EverPower balers have 1.9\u20132.4 m pickup widths, which requires two passes per 5.6 m windrow strip. Some operators pre-rake the 5.6 m windrow to 1.8\u20132.0 m with a wheel rake to allow single-pass baling \u2014 one additional pass but still a net saving versus the full mow-plus-rake baseline. For operations with a baler pickup above 2.8 m, a single baling pass is achievable on the 5.6 m windrow.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nHow does this compare to a 5 m rotary disc mower in terms of cost and practicality?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
A 5 m rotary disc mower typically requires 70\u2013100 kW and costs substantially more than the 9GL-5.0\/5.6. It cuts at 12\u201320 km\/h versus 6\u20137 km\/h but does not windrow \u2014 requiring a separate raking pass. For farms with a 40\u201360 kW tractor, the 9GL-5.0\/5.6 provides comparable daily coverage area (due to its wider cut) without the tractor power upgrade and without a raking pass, at a significantly lower machine purchase price.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat is the transport width and does it need a permit?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
Transport width is 5,600 mm<\/strong>. This exceeds the standard road-legal width of 2.5 m for general road travel in all Australian states and requires an oversize-load permit for use on public roads. On private farm laneways and designated agricultural access roads, normal agricultural equipment exemptions apply. Most operators transport the machine by float for inter-property movement.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat warranty is included?+<\/span><\/summary>\n
2-year whole-machine warranty<\/strong> from EverPower Australia. Full blade and rake tooth replacement kits, cutter gearbox components, and frame hardware stocked at Condell Park NSW for 72-hour national delivery.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n
