Owatonna Swather Fitted With Forklift

Owatonna Swather Fitted With Forklift SWATHERS Swathers 27-3-18 Tim and Tom Nelson, Carlinville, Ill., made their Owatonna swather a lot more useful during the off season by mounting a forklift mast on front. They say it took very little modification to mount the 3-stage lift on front of the machine. A hydraulic cylinder mounted beneath the frame tilts the frame forward and back. The Nelsons say the mower is a lot more maneuverable than a conventional forklift and it handles rough ground better. The Nelsons use it for all kinds of jobs, including construction work.
