Struggling with crop loss, soil contamination, and slow raking during tight harvest windows? The 9LZD-9.0 finger wheel hay rake delivers a proven solution: 17 independently suspended wheels achieving ≤2% loss rate, a massive 9-meter working width covering 7.2–9.0 hm² per hour, plus hydraulic folding for easy transport. Cleaner windrows, faster drying, and more tons per hour—without dragging dirt into your forage.
Professional High-Capacity Finger Wheel Hay Rake for Large-Scale Farming
The Model 9LZD-9.0 Trailed Finger wheel Rake is a high-performance mechanical solution engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern large-scale forage harvesting. As a premier finger wheel hay rake, it excels in the critical post-cutting phase, performing multiple functions such as gathering, turning, and spreading mowed grass, alfalfa, and crop stalks.
This trailed finger-wheel rake is specifically built for tractors ranging from 75 to 102 HP (55-75KW), making it a versatile asset for agricultural cooperatives and commercial forage producers. By utilizing 17 independent, high-carbon steel finger wheels, the machine covers a massive 9-meter working path in a single pass. Its unique mechanical geometry allows it to adapt to undulations in the field, ensuring that every stem is collected without introducing soil or rocks into the windrow. The transition from loose, scattered forage to aerodynamic, uniform windrows is managed entirely through a sophisticated hydraulic system, allowing operators to maximize field time and minimize manual adjustments.

9LZD-9.0 Trailed Finger wheel Rake - Product Details & Field Operation
Solving Key Challenges in Modern Forage Harvesting
Efficient forage management is the difference between high-quality silage and wasted nutrients. As a leading Agricultural finger wheel rake manufacturer, we have optimized the 9LZD-9.0 to address specific field difficulties:
1. Maximizing Operational Efficiency
In narrow harvest windows, speed is essential. With a 9-meter swath, this Hay Rake allows you to cover nearly 9 hectares per hour. This reduces the number of tractor passes required to clear a field by over 35%, leading to significant savings in diesel fuel and operator hours.
2. Minimizing Harvest Loss & Contamination
A major pain point for farmers is "missed grass" or "soil mixing." Our 17-wheel design ensures that wheels overlap perfectly. The ≤2% loss rate is achieved through independent wheel suspension, which allows each finger wheel to follow the ground's micro-contour without digging into the dirt, ensuring a clean, high-protein yield.
3. Optimized Drying & Aeration
Windrows that are too tight will trap moisture and lead to mold. The finger-wheel mechanism gently lifts and rolls the crop rather than dragging it. This creates "lofty" windrows with maximum air volume, accelerating the natural sun-drying process and preparing the crop for the baler in record time.
4. Simplified Hydraulic Maneuverability
Maneuvering a 16.8-meter machine used to be a challenge. The 9LZD-9.0 finger wheel hay rake features a integrated hydraulic lift system. The operator can raise the finger wheels for headland turns or fold the entire unit into a compact 3.9m transport width without ever leaving the tractor seat.
Versatile Agricultural Applications
The 9LZD-9.0 is designed as a multi-crop tool, making it a valuable investment for Finger-Wheel Rake Suppliers serving diverse markets:
- Alfalfa & Clover: Gentle handling preserves delicate leaves, where most of the nutritional value is stored.
- Natural Meadow Grass: High-clearance frame handles thick, heavy wild grasses without clogging.
- Corn Stalk & Straw: Robust tines can gather heavy crop residues after grain harvest for biomass or bedding.
- Turning & Spreading: Simply adjust the wheel angle to use the machine as a tedder to flip damp forage for faster curing.
Professional Maintenance & Longevity Guide
To ensure your finger wheel hay rake operates at peak performance for decades, follow these factory-recommended maintenance protocols:
Daily Pre-Operation Check:
Inspect all 1020 tines for bends or breaks. Replace any missing finger wheel rake parts immediately to maintain raking balance and prevent uneven windrows.
Lubrication Schedule:
Grease all main pivot points and wheel hub bearings every 40 working hours. Use high-quality lithium-based grease to protect against dust and moisture ingress.
Hydraulic System Integrity:
Check hydraulic hoses for abrasions or leaks. Ensure fluid levels in the tractor are adequate to prevent cavitation in the rake's lift cylinders.
Off-Season Storage:
Clean the machine thoroughly to remove corrosive crop sap. Coat the spring steel tines with a thin layer of protective oil and store the unit in a dry, covered area to prevent oxidation.
Global Partnership: Why Choose Our Machinery?
Advanced R&D
Our engineers utilize stress-simulation software to analyze frame durability. We have reinforced the main beam of the 9LZD-9.0 to handle the torque generated by 17 wheels, ensuring it won't warp under heavy loads.
Quality Assurance
We source only 60Si2Mn spring steel for our raking tines. This material offers superior elasticity and "memory," allowing tines to strike rocks and return to their original shape without snapping.
After-Sales Ecosystem
Buying a machine is just the start. We provide a 12-month comprehensive warranty and 24/7 technical support. Our global logistics network ensures that critical spare parts reach you within 3-5 business days.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What makes your finger wheels different from standard models?
Our wheels are equipped with 60 high-density tines made of heat-treated spring steel. This density ensures that even fine-stemmed crops are raked cleanly, reducing waste by up to 15% compared to 40-tine wheels.
Q2: Is the windrow width adjustable on the 9LZD-9.0 finger wheel hay rake?
Yes. By adjusting the angle of the rear raking arms via the hydraulic control, you can vary the windrow width between 0.8m and 1.2m to perfectly match the pickup width of your baler.
Q3: Can I replace individual finger wheel rake parts easily?
Absolutely. The machine is designed with a modular architecture. Individual tines are bolted, not welded, and entire wheel hubs can be swapped out in under 10 minutes using standard tools.
Q4: What is the optimal tractor horsepower for this rake?
While the machine can technically run on 75 HP, we recommend 90-100 HP for hilly terrain or exceptionally heavy, damp crops to maintain a steady 10km/h working speed.
Q5: How does the trailed design improve stability?
The 16.8m frame is supported by heavy-duty agricultural tires that provide a wide stance. This prevents the "bouncing" effect common in three-point linkage rakes, ensuring consistent tine depth across the entire 9m width.
Client Feedback
"Transitioning to the 9LZD-9.0 was a game changer for our dairy co-op. We used to run two smaller rakes, but this single 9-meter unit does the job faster and with better windrow consistency. The hydraulic folding makes moving between fields incredibly easy."
— Marcus G., Operations Manager (Nebraska, USA)
"I was worried about the 17-wheel setup being too complex, but it's simpler than my old baler. It’s so efficient that my operator actually finished the north field before his coffee got cold. Honestly, the only thing it can't do is rake in the rain, but I’m sure your engineers are working on that!"
— Silas W., Harvest Contractor (Alberta, Canada)
Optimized Harvesting Ecosystem
Rotary Mower Series
Clean, low-profile cutting is essential for rake performance. Our rotary mowers provide a consistent stubble height, allowing the finger wheel hay rake tines to engage the crop without dragging through the root zone.
Hydraulic Reversible Plow
After the final harvest, proper soil inversion is required. Our reversible plows manage heavy residue left after raking, ensuring a clean slate for next season's seeding.
