Choosing the Right Hay Equipment

When it comes to purchasing hay equipment, you may be surprised by the variety on offer. Manufacturers produce different models to suit the needs of different customers, and it may not always be obvious which model is right for you. That is why Twin Hills Equipment has created this guide to buying hay equipment.

Consider the Hay Equipment's Purpose

From mowing to bailing and everything in-between, you can find hay equipment to make the task easier. However, purchasing a machine that has more functionality than you intend to use is a waste of money. On the other hand, purchasing one piece of multi-use equipment instead of several pieces of equipment is obviously a good investment. Make sure that you have a list of what you want your hay equipment to be able to do before you start looking at models. Find one that suits your needs, but don’t go overboard and spend more than you can afford.

Consider the Cost

If you find yourself on a tight budget, there are two ways you can save money when purchasing hay equipment. The first is to purchase equipment from a previous year. While still technically “new”, hay equipment from previous years cost less because they are no longer the latest model. The other option is to purchase used. Used equipment is much cheaper than new equipment, though you should always take steps to check its condition before making your purchase.

Consider the Size

Size is another important factor to consider when purchasing hay equipment. On the one hand, purchasing smaller equipment may result in less productivity. On the other hand, larger equipment tends to cost more, both in terms of sticker price and fuel costs. Think hard about your needs, and the limitations imposed by your land. Remember that your hay equipment may need to be able to squeeze through tight fence gates and the like.
