Hay and Forage Equipment
The right hay and forage equipment can help you work smarter, not harder, on your farm. But it can be challenging knowing which farm equipment to buy. We've created the following buyer's guide to help you get the right purchase for your farm. If you have any questions or want to explore hay and forage equipment for sale, visit the experts at Atlantic Tractor. We have dealerships located throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
1. Know Your Tractor
It's important that you understand what will and what won't be compatible with your tractor. You don't want to buy hay and forage equipment that does not work with your tractor. Most options on the market can fit a range of tractors, but you will need to keep in mind a few factors, including the amount of weight your tractor can handle, the maximum width of the implement before it becomes too clunky for your tractor, and the horsepower your tractor offers. These factors will influence the type and size of hay and forage equipment you can get, so it’s important you know the exact specifications of your machine.
2. Know Your Needs
Next, think about what the hay and forage equipment needs to do. There are many different options that are tailored to different tasks such as cutting, collecting, and baling hay. Swathers and mowers, for example, offer different cutting performance. A mower-conditioner or tedder, on the other hand, might be more advantageous if you need to dry the hay. Think about what steps in the process you need the hay and forage equipment to tackle.
3. Consider Your Crops
Next, take into account the type of crop you are handling. Some hay and forage equipment is better suited for alfalfa, while others are better for grass. Make sure you get equipment that is tailored to your specific crop.
4. Build Your Budget
Finally, think about how much you can realistically spend on hay and forage equipment. Building a budget helps you get the highest quality equipment that you can afford. Quality hay and forage equipment can last you many years, so keep that in mind as you determine the amount you can spend.
