Gathering grass, legumes or other herbaceous plants that have been cut, dried and stored to form hay is a critical resource for livestock owners. During long winter months, livestock such as cattle, horses, goats, sheep, and more feed off the hay to stay healthy and well-nourished.
With summer being prime hay farming season, we thought we would highlight ten John Deere hay attachments that are sure to simplify this year’s process, enjoy!
BC11 Series Bale Carrier
Bale transport is a critical factor when thinking about successful hay farming. The BC11 Series Bale Carrier features a rugged, heavy-duty frame to handle heavy lifting. The bed height can range from 2 ft. 7 in. to 4 ft. 6 in. based on the model and can rise to 45-degrees when unloading.
BU10 Series Bale Unroller
The structural, tubular frame of the BU11 Series holds up to 2,000 lbs and can be easily attached thanks to the quick hitch system.
DM Series Disc Mowers
The helical-shaped knives on Deere disc mowers ensure clean cutting even in dense crop conditions. Oval-shaped discs provide maximum knife overlap, allowing the crop to flow seamlessly through the mower.
DC10 Series Disc Mower Caddy
A mower caddy is a great way to pull the disc mower. The DC1000 allows operators to extend the distance from the tractor to disc mower to make sharper turns.
HM Series Hay Mergers
The HM Series features an adjustable head height which optimizes performance and a control box that allows a variety of remote functions. Plastic teeth prevent metal from entering crops and the tail wheel keeps the system riding smooth in uneven fields.
LW Series In-Line Bale Wrapper
Protecting the nutrient value of bales is vital, ensuring livestock is enjoying high quality feed. The in-line bale wrapper seals bales efficiently and an integrated bale push simplifies the process. Optional work lights are available to make early morning work possible.
SB31 Series Sickle Bar Mower
Before high-quality hay can be baled, a clean cut needs to be made. Belt-driven cutter blades, easy-to-remove replacement knives and adjustable skid shoes provide hay farmers with an affordable cutting option.
Hay Tedders
Speedy dydown equals high-quality hay. Hay Tedders allow for equal distribution in all types of conditions. Flotation tires allow for smooth operation over irregular ground and tine height adjustments allow operators to match implements to crop conditions.
