hay mower
Field harvesting machine
A hay mower is a machine for cutting standing grass or grain crops, typically pulled by a tractor or historically by horses.
The cutting mechanism uses a reciprocating blade or rotating discs to sever stems close to the ground.
After mowing, the hay is left to dry in the field before baling: We need to get the hay mower out before the weather turns.
