5 Metres of Mowing from 30 HP: Exceptional Width-to-Power Ratio

The Ever-Power 9GS-5.0 delivers 5,000 mm total mowing width from tractors producing just 20–35 kW (30–50 HP) — a width-to-power combination that has no direct alternative in the rotary disc market at comparable price points. Two reciprocating cutterbars work in parallel across the full 5-metre width, applying the same scissor-cut principle as the 9GD-2.5 but across twice the working width.

Dual Independent Cutterbars

The two cutterbars work in parallel but can flex relative to each other within a limited angular range. This independent flex allows each cutterbar to adapt to the micro-terrain of its section of the 5-metre width without forcing the other to adopt the same height. The result is more consistent stubble height across the full width than a rigidly-coupled wide-head design would achieve.

Width-to-Power Engineering

Operating 5,000 mm total cutting width from 20–35 kW tractors is mechanically possible because reciprocating designs distribute blade resistance force across the full counter-blade contact zone rather than concentrating it at a single impact point as rotary designs do. This power distribution is what enables the exceptional width-to-power ratio.

Area Coverage and Operational Output

At 8–10 km/h operating speed with 5m cutting width, the 9GS-5.0 covers 4–5 hectares per hour, or 32–40 hectares in an 8-hour operating day under normal conditions. The output is well-matched to keeping a single 9YG-1.25 or S9000 Classic baler operating continuously — the mower stays slightly ahead of the baler at typical operating speeds.

Crop Applications

Large Hay Properties with consistent improved pasture — the 5-metre width clears 50–100 hectare paddocks in a fraction of the time of narrower alternatives. Commercial Forage Contractors servicing multiple sites — high daily area coverage at low tractor power matches contractor economics. Irrigated Pasture Operations in Mendoza and similar oasis zones — flat irrigated paddocks support the full 5-metre width operation. Natural Meadow Mowing on extensive properties — the dual reciprocating design handles mixed natural species better than wide rotary alternatives.

Why Ever-Power

The 9GS-5.0 is produced under ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturing with 100+ registered patents and National High-Tech Enterprise recognition. CNC laser-cut frame, robotic welding, and electrostatic coating standard. AAA Credit Enterprise rating, AGMA Best Innovation Award 2023, and two consecutive years of category market leadership.

Tractor Compatibility

The 9GS-5.0 requires 20–35 kW (30–50 HP) at PTO. Despite the 5-metre cutting width, the reciprocating mechanism's mechanical leverage means even tractors at the lower end of the range deliver effective operation. The machine connects via standard drawbar — no special hitch requirements.

Real-World Operating Scenario

A 600-hectare hay property in Buenos Aires Province operates the 9GS-5.0 paired with a 45 HP tractor. The wide-cut machine clears 32–40 hectares per day, allowing the property to complete spring mowing across the full area within the 2-week harvest window between rainfall events. The same tractor that mows in the morning handles raking and other implements through the day — the lighter machine weight and lower power demand make multi-implement scheduling practical from a single mid-size tractor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the 5-metre width managed in paddocks with gates?

The machine folds for transport and gateway navigation via the hydraulic control. Transport width reduces to tractor width plus a standard overlap.

What windrow pattern does the 9GS-5.0 produce?

The machine lays cut material in a spread swath of approximately 3.5–4.5 m. This should be raked to windrow before baling. The Ever-Power 9LH-12 transverse rake or finger wheel rakes provide matched raking capacity.

Can the 9GS-5.0 be used for silage cutting?

Yes. The clean reciprocating cut quality is appropriate for silage cutting at target wilt moisture. The wide swath dries relatively quickly due to large exposed surface area.

What happens if one cutterbar is damaged in the field?

The machine can operate on a single active cutterbar at reduced width while the damaged bar is held in the raised position. This allows operation to continue at 50% width while a repair or replacement bar is sourced.

Regional Application

The 9GS-5.0 is suited to operations across multiple Argentine agricultural zones. In Buenos Aires Province humid pampas, it supports small-medium hay and improved pasture operations. In Córdoba mixed farming systems, it handles the cutting requirements of diversified properties. In Santa Fe and Entre Ríos small dairy operations, it provides accessible cutting capacity from smaller tractors. In Patagonia and arid zones, the lower power requirement and clean cut quality suit natural pasture management.

Why Choose the 9GS-5.0 Over Established Alternatives

Ever-Power machines carry a 25–45% price advantage versus European alternatives at equivalent specifications — reflecting manufacturing cost differences, not quality compromises. ISO 9001:2015 certification (audited by Beijing United Certification), 100+ registered technology patents, and two consecutive years of category market leadership provide independently verifiable credentials. Our Buenos Aires operation stocks current-model parts with 5–7 day delivery to most Argentine provinces.

Total Cost of Ownership

For commercial hay operations covering 200–500 hectares annually, the 9GS-5.0's combination of 5-metre cutting width and 30–50 HP tractor compatibility delivers favourable total cost of ownership. The width-to-power ratio means area coverage similar to much larger rotary alternatives at materially lower tractor capital cost and fuel consumption. Annual maintenance focuses on blade replacement and standard bearing service intervals.

Pre-Purchase Qualification

• Tractor produces at least the rated PTO power for the 9GS-5.0
• Annual operating area justifies the capital investment at current pricing
• Service access supports 5–7 day parts dispatch from Buenos Aires
• Lead time of 30–60 days accommodates seasonal planning

Integration with the Ever-Power Range

The 9GS-5.0 pairs with the Ever-Power 9LH-12 transverse rake (matched 12 m raking width consolidates the 9GS-5.0's wide swath efficiently), the 9FZ-2.0 hay tedder for drying acceleration, and the 9YG-1.25 mid-range round baler for forage collection. The chain matches tractor power requirements across the 30–75 HP range typical of medium-scale Argentine hay operations.

Maintenance and Service Life

Pre-season maintenance: inspect blade tips and counter-blades on both cutterbars, replace worn blades individually, check cutterbar drive belt tension on each side, grease all pivot points per the lubrication chart, and verify hydraulic system pressure. In-season maintenance: lubricate at 50-hour intervals, inspect blades after every full-day session, and clean accumulated crop debris from cutterbar areas. All consumables stocked at our Buenos Aires warehouse for same-week dispatch.

Order and Delivery

Day 1–2: enquiry and quotation with CIF price within 24 hours. Day 3–7: order confirmation with deposit. Day 5–65: production. Quality inspection, documentation, and container loading at our Parque Industrial Pilar facility. Ocean freight to destination port. Remote video commissioning support included.

Operating Best Practices

Operating speed should be matched to crop density: 6–8 km/h in thick stands maintains cut quality, 8–10 km/h in lighter pasture maximises area coverage. Cutting height is adjusted via the skid runner mechanism to suit the operation — lower stubble for clean hay production, higher stubble for pasture maintenance with faster regrowth recovery.

Headland turns: the hydraulic lift raises the cutterbar clear of the ground approximately 50 metres before the headland. Turn at moderate speed, lower the cutterbar before re-entering uncut area. This sequence protects blade tips from soil contact at turning speed and avoids the cutterbar contacting standing crop during direction changes.

Stone-strike response: if a blade contacts a stone, inspect the affected blade for visible damage. Individual blade replacement takes 5–8 minutes with standard tools. Carry a set of spare blades during operations in known stony paddocks to avoid extended downtime from stone contact events.
