Hay & Forage Equipment
Hay and forage equipment are an essential tool to many farms, especially the bigger ones who don’t have any time to waste on poor gear. That’s why SS Equipment offers a wide variety of hay and forage equipment for sale at one of our many locations throughout Oregon. Make sure you bring your list of needs with you so we can find you the equipment that works best for you.
Know Your Tractor
First and foremost, you need to make sure the equipment you choose is going to be compatible with your tractor. While most units are fairly flexible, there are certain concerns you’ll need to be thinking about. This includes how much additional weight your tractor can handle, how wide the implement can be before it becomes too clunky for the tractor, and how much horsepower your tractor is packing. All of these factors are going to influence the size of the implements you can get. Of course, not all hay and forage equipment are implements, but for the products that are, make sure you have a firm grasp of your needs and limitations.
Choosing the Right Equipment
As you may know, there’s a lot involved when it comes to cutting, collecting, and baling hay. Each step is probably going to require different equipment, and certain machines offer different benefits over others. Swathers and mowers offer different cutting performance, while a mower conditioner and tedder might provide varying advantages when it comes to drying the hay. Consider what your process currently is and what kinds of machines could help you improve.
Other Concerns
You’ll also want to consider some other things as well, particularly the crop you’re working with. Some of the machines you’ll be looking at might work better for alfalfa, like mower conditioners, while others are probably better suited to grass, like tedders. In other words, you’ll want to do some careful research about some of these pieces of equipment and how they’re going to work with what you’re growing.
And, of course, there are some general, big equipment investment concerns you should be thinking about, like your budget and long-term maintenance plans. The size of your farm might also determine the models you get, although always keep your tractor in mind when you’re looking at different sizes.
