Preparation and Maintenance of Mowers, Tedders, and Rakes Before the Haymaking Season – A Comprehensive Guide

Get Your Machinery Ready for Haymaking – A Trouble-Free Season with GĄSKA

The haymaking season is one of the busiest times of the year for many farmers. When the weather is right, every hour counts – there’s no room for downtime or unexpected breakdowns. Yet many issues with forage machinery stem from a lack of proper preparation. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of getting your mowers, tedders, and rakes ready for the season – step by step. The GĄSKA company shares practical knowledge to help ensure your equipment is 100% ready to perform.

Why Is Preparing Forage Machinery So Important?

Forage harvesting machines – especially mowers, tedders, and rakes – operate under heavy loads and in harsh conditions. Grass, dust, moisture, and minor field obstacles can all impact the durability of components. Skipping inspections and maintenance can lead to:

  • Breakdowns at the worst possible time,
  • Loss of valuable working hours during peak season,
  • Costly emergency part replacements,
  • Reduced harvesting efficiency.

That’s why regular inspections, lubrication, replacement of worn parts, and checking mechanical and hydraulic systems are essential for safe, effective fieldwork.
