Haying & Harvesting

Haying & Harvesting

From cutting and raking to baling and storage, Tractor Supply offers the haying and harvesting equipment that keeps your farm operation moving through the season. Each stage of the process depends on tools that hold up to heavy use and work with the farm and ranch machinery you already own.

Must-Have Farm and Ranch Tools

Getting quality hay from the field requires more than a baler and a tractor. Cutting, conditioning, raking, baling and moving are all separate tasks, and each one depends on equipment that holds up through a full season. Any gaps in your setup will affect the quality of the feed. Reliable tools matched to your operation protect crop quality, reduce field time and take stress out of a tight schedule. Most of our haying and harvesting options are built to fit a wide range of tractor brands and configurations, so you can fill in what’s missing without starting from scratch.

Field Prep and Crop Cutting

Cutting is an important stage of haying and harvesting, as it preserves the crop's nutritional value before it ever reaches the baler. Harvesting equipment handles that initial pass, and the cut itself sets up everything that follows. Raking equipment comes next, pulling the cut crop into windrows (long, narrow cuts) so it can dry down evenly before baling. Side-delivery and wheel rakes are built for different field sizes and throughputs, accommodating a variety of fields and schedules.

Replacement Parts and Pre-Bale Testing

Keeping a baler running through peak season means staying ahead of the parts that wear fastest. As belting wears, the bale shape becomes inconsistent. Baler belting and accessories cover the rubber and synthetic belting that round balers depend on, and choosing the right width and material for your machine keeps the bale chamber forming correctly. Baling parts and accessories, such as knotter components, needles and twine holders, take on significant wear in square balers and need to be checked and replaced regularly. Agricultural testers give you a concrete moisture reading before you bale, so the crop that goes into storage is dry enough to stay that way.

Bale Spears, Hooks and Elevator Equipment

Once the bales are on the ground, moving them efficiently is its own operation. Bale spears mount to skid steer and tractor loaders, with one-, two- and three-spike configurations covering most round bale sizes. For square bales moved by hand, hay hooks give you a solid grip and reduce strain. Elevators and chutes move bales up into a barn loft or onto a stack without manual lifting at height, and getting the crop under cover before the weather turns is part of Life Out Here.
