How much horsepower do you need to run a lawn mower conditioner?
A new 9 ft cut disc mower / conditioner with rubber rolls from NH calls for 65 HP. But if you move up to the 10 foot cut NH, minimum HP is 80. Keep in mind that these ratings are for ideal conditions (flat land, uniform crop, etc.) and running at pretty high ground speeds.

How does a mower conditioner work?
A mower conditioner is a disc mower with a pair of either rubber or metal rollers that the fodder passes through like the wringer on an old washing machine, or with a flail roller which has tines on it that beat the fodder as it flies over the top inside the mower assembly.
What size tractor do I need to run a Haybine?
being sensible here– you need at least 50 hp + a tractor with good brakes to do the job safely. I run a 488 with a series 4 D17 Ac diesel loaded rear tires and still get pushed around some on the steep hills. Live power is a must for those times when she plugs up.
What is the difference between a swather and an Windrower?

How fast can you cut hay with a disc mower?
Disc mowers handle thick and lodged hay with ease. High cutting speeds. If you have the horsepower, there is almost no limit to how fast you can drive through the field. Speeds of up to 15 mph or more are feasible, though very few tractors can do this safely.
What should I look for when buying a disc mower?
Visual condition, if it looks beat to hell, it probably has been. Look for hydraulic leaks around cylinder and bar oil leaks around the cutter bar. Look at the blades, if they’re super worn down then the cutter probably hasn’t seen very regular maintenance.
