Things to Look for When Buying a Used Swather

If you want to speed up your harvesting process, a swather is a valuable investment. Also known as a windrower, this machine works by cutting grain crops in a row. These crops are then left to dry, which reduces their moisture content to the optimal level for harvesting and storing.

For those on a tighter budget, buying a used swather is a way to get the equipment you need at a price you can afford. The following buyer's guide can help you know what to look for when inspecting a used windrower. When you are ready to look at used swathers for sale, visit Bucklin Tractor & Implement. We operate six dealerships throughout Kansas.

The Exterior

Start by scoping out the swather exterior. See if you can spot any dents, scratches, or other forms of damage that indicate the previous owner(s) didn't properly care for the equipment. Plus, if you notice plenty of damage on the outside, there could be even more damage internally that you can't see. Make sure the asking price seems to match the state of the windrower.

Odometer

Give a glance at the odometer. See how many engine hours and header hours have already been logged. This will give a good indication of how much more use you can expect to get out of the swather.

Under the Hood

Take a minute to pop the hood and check the engine, hoses, and hydraulics. Cracked or leaking lines are a red flag. You'll also want to make sure the specifications on the engine plate are compliant with the emission standards in your area.

The Header

Look closely at the swather header. It should be free of dents, broken fingers, or rust. For hydraulic reels, make sure the hoses and rams are in good condition. See whether the header has a factory transport or whether you'll need to get one to transport it to your property.

The Paperwork

A used swather should come with certain pieces of paperwork, such as maintenance records. This information will help tell you more about the windrower's past so you can make informed predictions about its future. Ask for all the paperwork you can get. Knowledge is power, after all! The more you can learn about the equipment, the more empowered you'll be to make an informed purchasing decision. Ready to find your perfect used swather?
