Cutting and baling kit summary for small meadows

[Tracey Hamston]

Having asked many people, mostly across Dartmoor but some beyond, what kit they use for cutting, raking and baling in small pieces of meadow I compiled a list of kit plus some suppliers and links. It does seem there is a great need for kit sharing among localised landowners and we hope that this forum can be a conduit to finding a fellow small meadow maker in your locality.
I've attached the document. It's not exhaustive but hopefully it may provide some help for some of you.

Happy meadow making

Thanks so much for this Tracey - as a new meadow owner this is invaluable information .

Hereford meadow group made this video about hay making equipment for smaller land holdings.
The speaker certainly has some fine meadows with an amazing one full of green-winged orchids!
He covers the pro's and con's of various kit with some costs and things to consider before purchasing.
hope you all find it useful - I think you will
