Used Swathers/Windrowers

1415161718

Overview

Swathers, also known as windrowers, are agricultural machines used to cut and arrange crops into windrows for drying before baling or threshing. These machines are essential for efficient hay and grain harvests, helping to speed up the drying process and reduce crop loss. Swathers can be either self-propelled or tractor-mounted, offering flexibility depending on the scale of farming operations.
