Planning on getting a plain disk mower for pre mowing in front of the cows.
I'm wondering if many use theirs for mowing silage as well, are the conditioners all that important? I had a 9' Taarup on demo a wile back and was so easy driven compared to our mower conditioners.

Just wondering if anyone had a rough figure per cow per day of extra cost to the business with not being able to get spring calving cows out in time?

Did a search and didn't come up with anything, so apologies if this has been mentioned before.
