Find the right hay tool for your operation
Cutting, conditioning, raking, or baling. A few taps and we'll point you to the John Deere hay and forage equipment that fits your crop and your scale.
The John Deere hay & forage lineup
Disc mowers, mower-conditioners, rakes, and round and square balers, backed by in-season parts and service. Koenig across Ohio and Indiana.
Which one is right for you?
The two questions we hear most.
Cutting & conditioning
A disc mower gives you clean, fast cutting. A mower-conditioner adds conditioning in the same pass, crimping the crop so it dries faster and bales at better quality. Larger operations lean toward the conditioner to protect their drying window.
Raking & baling
A wheel rake gathers clean windrows to feed the baler efficiently. Then bale type decides the machine: round balers move volume with less labor, while square balers make the tight, handle-able bales that horse hay and retail markets want.
Questions, answered
Before you choose.
Round baler or square baler?
Round balers move high volume with less labor and store well outdoors, which fits most cattle and forage operations. Square balers make tight, easy-to-handle bales that horse-hay and retail markets prefer. The finder points you to the right one for your market.
Do I need a mower-conditioner or just a disc mower?
A disc mower cuts cleanly and costs less. A mower-conditioner cuts and conditions in one pass so the crop dries faster, which protects hay quality when your drying window is tight. Larger and higher-value operations usually justify the conditioner.
What size equipment fits my operation?
Match capacity to your acreage and your baling window. Small and hobby operations are well served by value-tier tools, while large and custom operators reward the capacity and speed that keep them ahead of the weather. The finder weighs both.
Does Koenig support hay season on parts and service?
Yes. Koenig keeps hay and forage Customers running with genuine John Deere parts and factory-trained service across Ohio and Indiana, because in hay season a breakdown can cost you the whole cutting.
