Mower

Cuts grass and can support some swathing workflows.

What it is used for

Cuts grass and can support some swathing workflows.

How to operate it

Lower/activate the mower and follow clean passes. Front/rear combinations can create very wide mowing sets.

Selection and setup

Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.

Base-game examples

ELHO Duett 7300 • KUHN GMD 3123 F • KUHN GMD 8730-FF • Samasz KDD 941 STH • Samasz KDF 341 S • Samasz XT 390 • Vermeer TM 1410 • KRONE BiG M 450

Operating procedure

Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.

Before you buy or lease

Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.

Compatibility & attachments

This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.

Procedure

  1. Wait until grass has reached the growth stage you want to cut, then choose a mower width suited to the field and tractor.
  2. Attach/unfold the mower and start at a field edge.
  3. Lower and activate it, then cut parallel passes without leaving standing strips.
  4. Decide the next route immediately: collect as grass, ted for hay, or prepare it for silage.
  5. If the mower can create swaths, use that option when it reduces a later windrowing pass.

Alternative options

Alternative 1
Self-propelled mower for large acreage.
Alternative 2
Front + rear mower combination.

Practical tips

  • Consider whether the mower swaths or spreads material, because that affects the next pickup step.
  • Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
