Dryland haying

Post by mountainboomer »

Swathers are very common out here in the Western USA. Rarely do we tedder hay. It is just not needed. The Swatherpack has a conditioned mower combo at 16 ft. The swather pack also comes with a 30ft head but it does not produce conditioned or tedded cuttings.

I tried to add <function>$l10n_function_tedder</function> to the functions of the 30ft Agco Draper header but it did not change the output. I thought I might get away with an easy mod.

Does anyone know how to make this head do what I want, or does anyone know of a mod that already does this? I have not found any other conditioned mowers either. I would not be adverse to a different solution.

It seems that the swather and the conditioned mower is flawless on alfalfa but struggles with grass. I get piles of dark green grass and light green grass, which to me indicates that some of the output is not conditioned. Maybe it is a graphical glitch.


Thanks!
