Definition – A hay cutter is a device that cuts grass, hay, straw, or other light biomass. It is part of haying equipment, haybines, silage equipment, mowers, and agricultural combines.

Problem Statement – A cutter has a number of moving parts and is subject to failure. Open source, modular hay cutters solve the need for easy self-maintenance and adaptation to many devices, from combines to balers, reducing infrastructure costs.
