LEADRAY GM Series Reciprocating Mower: Efficient Agricultural Tractor-Mounted Mowing Equipment
Professional reciprocating (sickle bar) mowing machine engineered for tractors – the GM Series delivers high-efficiency cutting for forage crops, grass, and weeds across large farms, pastures, and hayfields.
Featuring a precision-engineered sickle bar, robust transmission, and tractor 3-point hitch compatibility, this agricultural machinery combines fast mowing speed, uniform cutting quality, and durable construction – ideal for hay production, pasture maintenance, and crop residue management.
LEADRAY's GM Series Reciprocating Mower redefines efficiency in agricultural mowing with a focus on large-area coverage and forage quality.
Designed as a tractor-mounted implement, it connects seamlessly via Category 1/2 3-point hitch and is powered by the tractor's 540 RPM PTO (Power Take-Off) system.
Unlike rotary mowers, the reciprocating sickle bar design delivers clean, precise cuts – preserving forage nutrient content and reducing waste, making it perfect for hay production (alfalfa, clover, ryegrass) and pasture management.
Built with heavy-duty steel frames, high-frequency reciprocating blades, and reliable power transmission components, the GM Series handles dense vegetation and long working hours with minimal downtime.
Whether you're a commercial hay producer or a large-scale farmer, this efficient mowing machine saves time, labor, and fuel while delivering consistent results.

| Wide Cutting Width Options | 180–260 cm (6–8.5ft) working widths (varies by model) | Large coverage area reduces number of passes; ideal for large farms and hayfields |
| Adjustable Cutting Height | 50–200 mm (2–8 inches) via hydraulic or mechanical adjustment | Tailors to forage type (short grass vs. tall hay); maintains optimal pasture height for grazing |
| Heavy-Duty Steel Frame |
- 6–8 mm thick reinforced steel construction. - Reinforced hitch and side rails. - Anti-vibration design. |
Withstands rugged farm terrain and dense vegetation; reduces wear from constant reciprocation |
| Floating Hitch System |
- 10° vertical adjustment range. - Automatic terrain adaptation. |
Ensures consistent cutting height on uneven ground; prevents blade damage from rocks or ruts |
| Easy Maintenance Design |
- Removable sickle bar for blade sharpening/replacement. - Accessible gearbox oil fill/drain points. - Sealed bearings (dust/waterproof). |
Minimal downtime for upkeep; low maintenance costs; extends machine service life |
| Safety Protection |
- Front/rear debris shields. - Overload clutch (protects PTO and gearbox). - Emergency stop compatibility. |
Prevents flying debris; safeguards equipment from sudden overloads; ensures operator safety |

📝 Usage & Maintenance Tips (Farm-Friendly)
Operation Guidelines:
Engage PTO at idle; gradually increase to 540 RPM for smooth reciprocation.
Maintain forward speed of 4–6 km/h (2.5–3.7 mph) for optimal cutting quality.
Use floating hitch mode on uneven terrain; adjust cutting height based on forage type (50–100mm for hay, 100–200mm for pastures).
Mowing Machine Core Maintenance:
Sharpen sickle bar teeth every 50 operating hours (use a file or grinder for precision).
Check gearbox oil level before each use; replace oil every 200 hours (use 85W-140 gear oil).
Clean debris from sickle bar and frame after each use to prevent rust and binding.
Inspect bearings monthly for leaks or abnormal noise; grease every 100 hours.
Safety Precautions:
Always wear protective gear (goggles, gloves, steel-toe boots, and hearing protection).
Disengage PTO and turn off tractor before adjusting the sickle bar or cleaning.
Keep bystanders at least 15m away during operation (reciprocating blades pose high risk).
