Making quality hay isn’t just about cutting grass—it’s about having the right hay making equipment to do the job efficiently. Whether you’re a small-scale farmer or running a large hay operation, we have most everything you need, from start to finish.
Step One: It Starts with the Right Tractor
Every step of the hay-making process depends on reliable equipment—starting with the right tractor. Our Kioti tractors provide the power and durability needed to run your tedders, rakes, balers, wrappers, and loaders with ease.
Step Two: Cutting & Drying
A good hay crop starts with a clean cut and proper drying. Our tedders maintain consistent moisture levels and reduce wet spots in bales, improving drying time. The fluffing action ensures better drying and prevents mildew or fermentation—especially in grass hays, which tend to mat and dry slowly. Tedding gives you flexibility, so if rain is in the forecast, you can speed up the drying process to save your crop.
Step Three: Raking & Baling
Once the hay is dry, gentle raking is essential to preserve high-nutrient leaves. Our rotary and wheel rakes create clean windrows, keeping more nutrients in your bale—not in the field. When it’s time to bale, choose from our selection of new and used round and square balers to produce tight, heavy bales every time.
Step Four: Wrapping & Handling
Protecting your hay is key to maintaining its value. Without proper storage, round bales can lose nutrients from spoilage. Our hay wrappers provide a tight seal that locks in nutrients and keeps bales fresh. Efficient handling is equally important—our accumulators and grabbers streamline stacking and transport, saving you time and labor.
Store Your Hay Right
Your hay is only as good as your storage solution. Our hoop buildings provide a cost-effective, weatherproof way to protect your hay from rain, snow, and sun—keeping it high-quality when you need it most.
