What "Power Reapers" Could Mean

• Power Reaper Machines: Mechanized reapers and forage harvesters that cut and collect crops like corn, grass and other fodder.
• High-capacity engines & technology: Designed to handle large fields and tougher crops quickly and reliably.
• Tractor-operated or self-propelled: Mountable to tractors (PTO-driven) or available as independent units.

Why They Matter on Dairy Farms

• High-quality feed → better milk yield.
• Timely harvesting reduces spoilage and loss.
• Powerful equipment saves labour, time and operating cost.

Tractor-Operated Reapers — Overview

Tractor-operated reapers are used to harvest grains and forage. They may be front-mounted, rear-mounted, or driven by the tractor's PTO.

Types

1. Front-Mounted Reaper: Good visibility, ideal for row crops.
2. Rear-Mounted Reaper: Traditional setup, often pulled by the tractor.
3. Self-Propelled / PTO-Driven: Higher capacity; may include threshing units.
