Product Features
The 9GD-2.5 Towed Single-Blade Lawn Mower (Upgraded Version) is a practical single blade lawn mower built for Brazilian conditions, paired with 20-50 hp wheeled tractors (15-35 kW). It is widely used throughout Brazil for cutting natural and planted pastures on firm, dry ground – ideal for properties where producers search for a reliable “cortador de grama para trator” or “cortador de grama rebocado”.
The machine delivers clean, uniform cuts in open fields and is not recommended for waterlogged areas, wetlands, forests, stony ground or heavily tussocked terrain. Cutting height is easily adjusted via the tractor’s hydraulic system, so the driver can set the desired stubble height without leaving the seat – a real advantage when covering large areas with just one operator.
For farmers and contractors looking for a replacement of John Deere lawn mower units or a durable towed alternative, the 9GD-2.5 stands out as one of the best lawn mower options in its class for pasture maintenance. Its robust frame, low power requirement and simple maintenance match the day-to-day needs of rural properties from Rio Grande do Sul to Mato Grosso.
Fully compliant with GB/T 10940-2008 (reciprocating mower standard) and holding the official Chinese agricultural machinery certification, this model has proven itself as a cost-effective “máquina de cortar capim tracionada” across Brazilian pastures and large rural lawns.

Practical advice from Brazilian users
- Choose a single-blade mower like the 9GD-2.5 if you run 20–50 hp tractors, cut typical pastures, and want the lowest purchase and parts cost.
- Choose a double-blade (duplex) mower if you have 50+ hp, produce high-value hay or silage, and can justify the higher initial investment for cleaner cutting and higher daily output.
FAQ
What type of tractor can pull the 9GD-2.5? Any wheeled tractor with 20–50 hp (15–35 kW) and standard 540 rpm PTO is suitable. It works perfectly with Massey Ferguson 4275, 4283, John Deere 5055, 5075, New Holland TT55, TT75, Valtra A750, A850 and most Chinese-brand tractors in the same power range common in Brazil.
Can I use this mower in Brachiaria, Mombaça or Tifton pastures? Yes. The 9GD-2.5 is designed specifically for cutting planted and natural pastures. It gives a clean scissor cut and handles lodged or tangled grass very well.
Is it safe to use on slightly sloping terrain? Yes, up to 15–20° slopes are acceptable provided the tractor remains stable. The low center of gravity and towed design make it more stable than many 3-point mounted models.
How do I adjust the cutting height? Cutting height is adjusted directly from the tractor seat using the hydraulic top link or an optional hydraulic cylinder kit. Standard stubble height ranges from 50–70 mm, but it can be set higher or lower with simple adjustments.
Are spare parts easy to find in Brazil? Yes. Blade sections, guards, ledger plates and wear plates are stocked by agricultural parts dealers in Goiânia, Uberlândia, Ribeirão Preto, Londrina and Porto Alegre. Each section costs around R$ 28–40.
Is the 9GD-2.5 a copy of John Deere or other brands? No. It is an independent Chinese-made implement built to the same functional principle as traditional sickle-bar mowers. It is not an OEM part nor a licensed reproduction of any brand, but many farmers choose it as a practical, lower-cost functional replacement when original parts for older imported mowers become expensive or unavailable.
What maintenance is required? Daily: grease two points, check blade section bolts. Every 50–80 hours: replace worn blade sections (usually 4–8 at a time). End of season: clean, check gearbox oil, store under cover.
Can it cut hay for baling? Yes, it leaves a clean, uniform swath ideal for subsequent baling or tedding, similar to traditional sickle-bar units.
What warranty do you offer in Brazil? Standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects through official importers. Some dealers extend coverage on gearbox and frame to 24 months.
Why is it cheaper than European or North American brands? Simpler design, high-volume production and lower logistics costs from Asia. Performance in Brazilian pastures is comparable for typical 20–50 hp applications, but acquisition and spare-parts costs are significantly lower.

Customer Reviews
José Roberto – Goiás, Brazil (1,200 ha beef farm) “We bought the 9GD-2.5 two seasons ago when the old North American sickle bar mower started costing too much in parts. It hooks up to our Massey Ferguson 4275 without any modification, cuts Brachiaria and Mombaça cleanly at 8–9 km/h and leaves a nice swath for the cattle. Blade sections are cheap and available in Goiânia. For us it has been a straightforward replacement of John Deere lawn mower equipment we used before. Nothing fancy, just does the job every day.”
Carlos Mendoza – Córdoba, Argentina (mixed crop-livestock, 850 ha) “I needed a cortador de pasto rebocado that works with a 45 hp tractor. The 2.5 m width covers the paddocks faster than the 2.1 m unit we had. The hydraulic height adjustment from the seat is convenient. We cut alfalfa and ryegrass for hay; the single blade lawn mower leaves the material in good condition for the baler. So far 650 hours and only normal section replacements.”
Marcos Silva – Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (contractor) “I run three of these behind Valtra A850 and New Holland TT75 tractors for pasture renovation contracts. Clients like the clean cut and the fact that it doesn’t throw stones like some rotary units. Productivity is around 2.5–2.8 ha per hour in real field conditions. Maintenance is simple – 10 minutes to change eight sections. For the price it’s one of the best lawn mower options I’ve found for 40–50 hp tractors.”
Pedro Hernández – Chihuahua, Mexico (600 ha range land) “We use it on native grasses and some sorghum stubble. The ground here is firm and dry most of the year, perfect for this type of mower. Weight is light enough that our John Deere 5055E doesn’t struggle on gentle slopes. Gearbox has been quiet after 400 hours. Good value compared to what the local dealers quote for imported brands.”
André Oliveira – Minas Gerais, Brazil (dairy farm) “Bought it mainly because spare parts for the old segadeira de lâminas were impossible to find. Installation took 20 minutes. Cuts Tifton 85 evenly and the cattle start grazing again the next day. One operator, no extra labor needed. It’s not the fastest mower on the market, but for daily pasture management with a 50 hp tractor it gets the work done without problems.”
