How Often Do You Find Yourself Saying, I Wish I Knew More About Mowers and Hay Rakes

Mowers are used for many different purposes.
Whether you're in agriculture, responsible for commercial properties, operate a hobby farm, or simply enjoy living in the country, a good one is well worth its weight when it's properly matched to the task at hand.
They come in all sizes and deck widths to fit nicely on most any small or large tractor.
A lawnmower is a small, compact unit used to maintain and manicure residential lawns, sports fields, or common areas of condominium properties and the like.
The larger units, such as flail mowers or bush hogs, are used for large-scale applications such as farms, roadside maintenance, or grounds keeping.
The flail type is ideal for taking on weeds, thick grass, and small trees.
A normal deck type unit wouldn't be able to handle the volume that a flail type goes through easily.
For clearing spaces of brush and thick undergrowth, a bush hog is most likely a good choice.
For those who need a piece of equipment to handle large-scale haying operations, mower-conditioners are a must.
They are also referred to as windrowers and are used on large farms with hay or crop fields.
Hay season seems to arrive quickly each year, doesn't it? The weather can be tricky some years, providing only a small window of time in which to get the hay cut, raked, dried, and baled.
If you have the proper equipment, this process is that much easier and the entire operation can run smoothly.
A good hay rake is an absolute necessity for the farm implement inventory for anyone planning to make hay on their farm or parcel of land.
Once the forage is somewhat dried on top, a hay rake is used to gather and then gently roll it over so that the underside can air out and air dry (to avoid mold growth).
When looking to buy you will find all types and models of hay rakes, including wheel type, rotary units, and parallel bar.
The parallel bar rake is the most common one used by farmers and landowners to harvest their crop each year.
However, each type has it's own special use or purpose and many farmers find that the wheel type or rotary type is best for their job so you may find one of them to be a more efficient choice for you.
