EP-9GQY-3.2 Mower Conditioner: Industrial High-Efficiency Forage Harvesting and Conditioning Solutions

The Ever-Power India EP-9GQY-3.2 Mower Conditioner is a high-performance, side-trailed industrial machine engineered specifically for the harvesting of gramineous forage and reeds. Featuring a massive 3.2-meter cutting width and eight high-speed rotary discs, this machine integrates cutting and conditioning into a single, efficient pass.

Its proprietary super-floating protection device and unique double-suspension system allow the cutterhead and conditioning unit to operate independently of the main frame, ensuring exceptional contouring capability across uneven terrains. Designed for tractors of 110 HP or higher, the EP-9GQY-3.2 delivers professional-grade forage quality while offering a significantly faster return on investment compared to traditional European or North American imports.

Five Key Facts

• Proprietary Double Suspension: Features a unique system where the cutterhead and conditioning unit are independent of the frame, allowing the machine to adapt to any ground condition without compromising cut height.

• Super-Floating Protection: Equipped with an automatic obstacle-avoidance mechanism that lifts the mower over rocks or roots, automatically returning it to the working position to prevent damage.

• Hammer-Type Conditioning: Utilizes a specialized flail/hammer conditioning system that cracks crop stalks to accelerate moisture loss, preserving nutritional value for high-grade silage.

• Industrial Throughput: Capable of operating at speeds up to 15 km/h with 16 high-strength moving blades, achieving massive daily harvesting acreages.

• Rugged Side-Trailed Design: The side-towed configuration provides excellent visibility for the operator and stabilizes the unit during high-speed operations on undulating fields.

Modular Product Analysis

Proprietary Independent Double Suspension and Contouring

The EP-9GQY-3.2 utilizes a unique engineering philosophy where the harvesting modules—the cutterhead system and the conditioning device—are mechanically independent of the main supporting frame. This double-suspension design ensures that the weight of the frame does not interfere with the mower’s ability to follow the micro-topography of the field.

For farmers operating in undulating pasturelands or reclaimed wetlands, this prevents “scalping” of the soil and ensures a consistent stubble height of at least 50mm, which is essential for rapid crop regrowth and forage purity.

Super-Floating Protection and Mechanical Longevity

Operating in uncultivated areas for reed or wild grass harvesting often exposes machinery to hidden obstacles such as stones or tree roots. The EP-9GQY-3.2 is equipped with a “super-floating” protection device that acts as a reactive safety system. Upon impact with an obstacle, the mower unit automatically lifts to clear the hazard and then resets to its working position without requiring the operator to stop the tractor. This significantly reduces repair costs and increases the operational lifespan of the eight precision-balanced cutterhead discs.

Hammer-Type Conditioning for Optimal Nutrient Preservation

Preserving the relative feed value (RFV) of forage requires rapid wilting. The EP-9GQY-3.2 features a specialized hammer-type conditioner designed for thick-stemmed crops like reeds and gramineous grasses.

This flail system aggressively cracks the waxy outer layer of the stalks without pulverizing the nutrient-rich leaves. The resulting swath, which can be adjusted from 0.8m to 2.2m, is highly permeable to airflow, often reducing field drying time by up to 24 hours compared to non-conditioned forage.

Industrial-Grade Metallurgy and High-Torque Transmission

To manage the massive energy transfer required for 3.2 meters of high-speed cutting, Ever-Power India Straw Baler Co., Ltd. utilizes industrial-grade gear steel for all primary drive components. The transmission system is optimized for PTO inputs ranging from 540 to 1000 r/min, providing the flexibility to work with a wide range of modern tractors. The 16 moving blades are manufactured from high-tensile alloy steel to maintain sharpness over hundreds of hectares.

Global Application Scenarios

The EP-9GQY-3.2 is engineered for professional-scale harvesting across 80 distinct global agricultural environments, including:

• US Midwest Dairy Belt: Harvesting premium alfalfa-grass mixes for high-protein silage.

• Southeast Asian Reed Valleys: Commercial harvesting of thick reeds for industrial paper pulp.

• Saudi Arabian Alfalfa Projects: Precision cutting under center-pivot irrigation in high-heat desert zones.

• Russian Cereal Belts: Management of gramineous grasses on massive, uneven continental plains.

• French Organic Farms: Managing inter-row green manure and cover crops with independent suspension.

• Polish Grassland Belts: Supporting the traditional architecture industry with clean reed harvesting.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Step 1: Mechanical Hitching and Traction Alignment

Position the tractor hitch to align with the EP-9GQY-3.2 side-trailed traction frame. The hitch is designed with vertical flexibility to allow for effortless pin insertion even when the ground is unlevel. Secure the high-tensile locking pin and verify that the side-drawbar is correctly adjusted for your tractor’s wheel track to prevent trampling of the uncut forage.

Step 2: PTO Integration and Drive Shaft Calibration

Connect the safety torque drive shaft to the tractor’s PTO output. The EP-9GQY-3.2 is compatible with both 540 and 1000 r/min speeds. Ensure the drive shaft is correctly phased and the safety shields are locked. The double-universal joint design allows for smooth energy transfer even during sharp maneuvers at row ends.

Step 3: High-Pressure Hydraulic System Connection

Attach the hydraulic hoses using Ever-Power India’s integrated H-type ferrule joints. These joints are engineered for industrial durability and prevent fluid leaks under high pressure. Perform several lift-and-lower test cycles to verify the super-floating protection response and ensure the independent suspension is correctly pressurized.

Step 4: Stubble Height and Swath Width Calibration

Adjust the mechanical height stops to achieve your target stubble height (recommended ≥ 50 mm). Use the adjustable rear deflector plates to set the swath width between 0.8 and 2.2 meters. Narrower swaths are ideal for high-speed baling, while wider swaths are better for rapid field wilting in humid conditions.

Step 5: Conditioner Intensity and Blade Verification

Inspect all 16 moving blades for sharpness and ensure they are securely mounted to the eight discs. Adjust the conditioner baffle to control the intensity of the hammer conditioning. For thick-stemmed reeds, a tighter baffle gap is required, whereas for delicate pasture grasses, the gap should be widened to prevent leaf shattering.

Customer Success Stories
