Results for tag: "Swather"

Swathers, also known as windrowers, are agricultural machinery and equipment used to cut and lay down crops in a uniform swath. They are typically used to cut hay, straw, and other forage crops. Swathers are usually pulled by a tractor and have a cutting head that is powered by the tractor's power take-off (PTO). The cutting head is usually a rotary disc or a sickle bar. The cut crop is then laid down in a uniform swath, which is then baled or collected for further processing. Swathers are an important part of the agricultural machinery and equipment market, as they are used to prepare crops for further processing. They are used in a variety of agricultural operations, from small family farms to large commercial operations. Some companies in the swather market include John Deere, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, Kubota, and Claas. Show Less Read more
