Haymaking tractors: how the landini 5‑085 and serie 5 optimise each stage of operations

Haymaking is one of the key operations in the entire livestock production cycle. From mowing to raking, from collection and baling through to transporting round bales: every stage demands timeliness, precision and reliable agricultural machinery. Forage quality depends on an even cut, correct drying in the field and the ability to handle round bales quickly and efficiently.

In order to support these activities as effectively as possible, Landini offers solutions that combine power, agility, and comfort. In particular, two tractors stand out as ideal partners for haymaking: the Landini 5‑085 and the Landini Serie 5, both Stage V compliant and designed to meet the needs of modern farming businesses.

 

Why haymaking requires versatile, high-performance tractors

Modern haymaking is all about implements, coordination and reliability. As industry experts point out, everything starts with mowing, which must be fast and even to ensure proper drying of the crop. Next, using rakes and tedders properly reduces the time forage remains in the field, minimising loss of nutritional value.

According to sector guidelines, efficient haymaking depends on:

• power to pull mowers, rakes, and balers;
• agility on hilly terrain and in small fields;
• high hydraulic capacity to operate modern implements;
• comfort and visibility to reduce operator fatigue over long working days;
• manoeuvrability when loading, handling and transporting round bales.

Choosing the right tractor makes a real difference in hay quality, overall productivity and fuel savings.

 

Landini 5‑085: compact, powerful and ideal for livestock farms

The Landini 5‑085 is a tractor engineered for maximum manoeuvrability and outstanding performance, even in tight spaces like hilly fields or livestock farms with limited working areas. It is extremely effective for mowing, in hay tedding, and during all phases of forage collection.

Why it is ideal for haymaking

• Compact dimensions, perfect for manoeuvring easily between fields.
• 75 hp engine and 375 Nm of torque to pull haymaking implements without wasting fuel.
• Hydraulic output of 56 l/min for implements and 30 l/min for steering, ensuring precision when working with rakes and light balers.
• High comfort levels, allowing the operator to cope more easily with the long working hours of the harvest season.

The 5‑085 is particularly valued for round‑bale handling thanks to its stability and the option of fitting the original L15 front loader with a lift capacity of 1,500 kg.

Landini Serie 5: a utility tractor whose haymaking implements deliver outstanding performance

The Landini Serie 5 offers the perfect balance of power, efficiency and versatility. It is the ideal tractor for those who need to handle not only haymaking but also a wide range of farm operations throughout the year.

The advantages of the Serie 5 in hay management

• Power up to 114 hp and 460 Nm of torque, ideal for medium and large balers, front and rear mowers and wide working‑width rakes.
• Versatile transmissions – mechanical, powershift and robotised – suited both to slow, delicate tasks and to transport operations.
• High‑output open‑centre hydraulic system with a flow rate up to 82 l/min for implements and 32 l/min for steering, plus three mechanical spool valves, one electro‑hydraulic valve and two mid‑mount valves controlled by the multifunction joystick.
• Excellent visibility thanks to the comfortable suspended cab with Panhard rod.
• Stability and traction that make the tractor reliable even on slopes or uneven ground.

Thanks to its robust construction and available configurations, the Serie 5 is the ideal choice for handling round bales with either the rear hitch or a front loader.

Haymaking and round-bale handling: how to choose the right tractor

Both Landini models meet the needs of farmers who must:

• mow and condition the crop;
• work with tedders and rakes;
• drive balers and round balers;
• handle, load and transport square or round bales;
• optimise harvesting times while reducing costs.

The Landini 5‑085 is ideal for those who prioritise compactness and manoeuvrability, while the Landini Serie 5 is the perfect solution for medium‑ and large‑sized farms that require greater power and versatility.

 

In summary: with Landini, haymaking becomes simpler, more efficient and more productive

Haymaking requires reliable machinery designed to ensure work quality and rapid execution. The Landini 5‑085 and Serie 5 tractors offer all the features needed to optimise every stage, from mowing to bale handling. All this enables farmers to work with greater precision, efficiency and safety – always supported by Landini Digital Solutions, both for Farm management and for Fleet & Remote Diagnostics Management.
