Pro's and con's to each. Swather takes 14 ft.and puts it in a windrow but you have to travel much slower. Disc mower can more than make up for half cut by driving faster. Hay is spread out for faster drying with disc but if you have any alf the crimper on swather gains drying time. With swather much faster to rake a bigger windrow for baling because if you rake 2 rows together you are combining 28 ft. by making one round with rake whereas you would need to make 2 rounds with rake to get 28 ft . of hay in one windrow from 7 ft. disk. Disk mower will never plug whereas swather will plug on gofer mound or when making last narrow swath. I have both and am still undecided which I like better.
