Small rakes are widely used in agriculture for cutting green and dry corn stalks, wheat straw, rice straw, and other types of forage suitable for livestock. These machines are also effective for returning straw to the field, contributing to soil improvement and sustainable farming practices.
In recent years, the use of small grass rakes has become increasingly common in livestock farms and agricultural operations. Their benefits are clear, such as improving efficiency and reducing labor. However, many issues arise due to improper usage or lack of maintenance by operators, which can lead to reduced performance and even equipment failure.
This article focuses on the 9Z-2.5 type mower, a commonly used small rake, and discusses the proper operation and maintenance techniques to ensure its longevity and effectiveness.
**Proper Usage**
1. **Read the "Product Manual" and Check Accessories**
(1) Understand the technical specifications of the rake, including the required power input, spindle speed, weight, and dimensions.
(2) Familiarize yourself with performance indicators, such as production efficiency. For example, the 9Z-2.0 model is stated to have a capacity of 2.5 tons per hour under specific conditions—such as green corn stalks with 65% moisture content and continuous feeding. Also, note the cutting length and grass width range.
(3) Inspect all included accessories, such as the motor pulley, V-belt (e.g., B1650 type with three belts for the 9Z-2.0 model), belt guard, and motor mounting bolts.
(4) Be aware of the contents of the packaging to avoid missing any essential parts during setup.
2. **Correct Installation**
(1) Before installation, determine the power source—whether it’s a single-cylinder diesel engine, electric motor, or a small four-wheel tractor. Follow the manual to choose the appropriate power and transmission system.
(2) Ensure that the diameter of the power machine’s pulley matches the rake’s pulley, so the rake operates at the correct speed. The 9Z-2.0 model should run at 800 revolutions per minute.
(3) If using a diesel engine, mount it securely on a concrete floor and adjust its position to tighten the belt properly.
(4) When using a four-wheel tractor as the power source, remove the tractor’s belt cover and the two casters at the rear of the mower. Connect the tractor’s central rod to the pin shaft in the middle of the mower frame. Hang the suspension brackets on the caster axles and secure them with bolts. Then, adjust the V-belts for proper tension.
(5) If using an electric motor, install a universal base to align the motor axis with the rake’s axis and ensure the pulleys are aligned. The direction of the blade rotation should match the arrow on the housing. Additionally, install a switch near the machine for quick power control.
(6) Make sure the rake is installed smoothly and the protective cover is in place. Position the machine so that the grass flows naturally with the wind. If the machine is not easily movable, you can turn the grass to achieve the same result.
