Other Hay and Forage Equipment For Sale

About Other Hay & Forage Equipment

The Other Hay & Forage Equipment area is a catch-all for hay and forage equipment that doesn’t slot neatly into Hay & Forage Equipment subcategories like Disc Mowers, Mower Conditioners & Windrowers, Hay Rakes, Round Balers, and so on. All of the equipment you’ll find here, though, is designed to play a supporting role to forage harvesters, square and round balers, mowers, and other machinery used to cut, gather, dry, bale, and store hay, straw, and other forage crops.

Oxbo 2340 Forage Merger

Harvesting Equipment

Sickle bar mowers are one example of hay and forage harvesting equipment that you’ll find in this subcategory. These are available in pull-type configurations and as sickle bar mower heads. There are also a number of hay heads for forage harvesters available for sale here.

Hay Mergers

Hay mergers pick up windrows of cut grass and hay and combine them to be picked up and baled. For example, a pull-type model that can pick up two windrows at a time and merge them off to one side can turn five swaths into one big central windrow in two passes. Variations on the name or function of hay mergers include hay inverters, hay turners, hay windrow mergers, and continuous pickup hay mergers.

Hay merger mechanisms may be run by hydraulics, a tractor’s power take-off (PTO), or be wheel-driven or ground-driven. H&S mergers with a Hydra Swing tongue can convert from a center-pull model to a side-pull and vice-versa, while Twin-Flex and Tri-Flex models have two or three heads, respectively. Some mergers support extensions to add pickup width for efficiency’s sake. Hay merger wear parts include their belts, tires, and pickup teeth.

A few stray hay rakes and hay crimpers make their way into the Other subcategory, as well. You can find more of these in the main Hay and Forage Equipment category under Hay Rakes and Mower Conditioners & Windrowers, respectively.

Hay Storage

Equipment that helps growers store bales or ensile the crop in a silo is another key piece of a straw- or hay-making operation. Bale ejectors, bale throwers, bale elevators, and hay elevators can all play a part in proper bale storage. For loose material, forage blowers and silage blowers can propel the cut crop up into a silo to ferment into haylage or silage. You’ll also see feed hoppers, forage boxes, and baggers in this subcategory.
