Haying Independence

website-banner-size.jpg

What is haying independence?

Haying independence is the goal of many small farmers. It’s the ability to make a farm fully sustainable by growing and harvesting your own forage for your own animals.  

Why is haying independence important?

Many small farm operators are tired of paying high prices for hay. They are often disappointed by the quality of hay available on the markets, or they are fed up with the contract hay baler who doesn’t think their field is a priority. Too often these scenarios result in hay that is both high priced and of poor quality. 

Who can achieve haying independence?

Anyone with a compact tractor. Yes, you heard that right...anyone with a compact tractor...and the hay baling equipment to fit it. Tractor Tools Direct has everything you need and more. 

What equipment do I need?

To bale your own hay, you need a tractor - any size will do as long as it has a 3-point hitch PTO.  Then you’ll need  a hay mower, rake, and baler sized for that tractor. Tractor Tools Direct is proud to offer hay baling packages that include these implements, in a size that will fit your tractor, regardless of how small. If you need a primer on hay baling equipment, our Buyer’s Guide can bring you up to speed.

Is the equipment easy to use and maintain?

Yes! Tractor Tools Direct sells only heavy-duty and durable equipment. Implements come with warranties and user manuals. Our website is loaded with informative brochures, videos, and blogs to help our customers set-up, operate, service, and maintain their purchased equipment themselves--enabling even further independence! We even have a service team ready to answer your phone calls--just call us from the field if you need to troubleshoot!
