Hay & Forage

Why Auto-Steering Improves Hay and Forage Processes

Consistent, reliable, and repeatable GPS-based guidance and automatic steering makes harvesting hay and forage easier and more effective. This is because optimized hay and forage processes require precise passes – to mow the entire field without missing a spot, create straight windrows, and collect every strand of hay or ounce of forage at the end.

How it Works

Here are a few ways Raven’s automatic steering solutions help ensure that you get the most quality livestock feed out of your hay and forage operations, including mowing, windrowing, baling, and forage harvesting:

• Repeatable signal – drive the same guidance path for cutting, raking, baling/harvesting with sub-inch accuracy. This makes every pass with the windrower as straight as possible, and ensures every subsequent task follows the same exact path to pick up as much as possible.
• Quiet operation – Our DirecSteer™ electric guidance aid is simple, silent, and powerful – helping you focus on the function of your mower, rake, baler, or forage harvester.
• Easy integration with most major equipment brands, including New Holland and Case IH baler and forage harvester automation systems.
