Grass harvester - Grass harvester

Japanese: 牧草収穫機 - ぼくそうしゅうかくき
Grass harvester - Grass harvester
A machine that cuts grass. There are many types, but they can be broadly divided into those for making grass into hay and those for making silage. Grass harvesters have been used for a long time, and from the latter half of the 1800s, mowers using animal power began to be used to cut grass, replacing the manual harvesting with scythes that had been used until then. This was followed by the development of the hay tedder, which turns the grass over to promote drying of the grass cut down by the mower and left on the ground, the hay rake, which collects the grass in rows for storage, and the hay loader, which picks up the grass that has been dried on the ground and loads it onto a transport vehicle.

牧草を刈り取る機械。多くの種類があるが,大別すると牧草を干し草として調製するためのものと,サイレージ調製を目的とするものがある。牧草収穫機は古くから使われており,1800年代の後半より,それまでの大鎌などによる人力収穫に代わって,畜力用モーアを使った牧草刈取りが行われるようになった。これについで,モーアで刈り倒され地面に放置された牧草の乾燥を促進するため牧草反転を行うヘーテッダー,乾草収納のため列状に集草するヘーレーキ,地干しされた牧草を拾い上げて運搬車に積み込むヘーローダーが発達した。
