Around here what we call a swather and or windrower are the same. They are used to cut small grains and grass seed. They cut with a sickle bar the crop then falls on a canvas platform wich moves the crop and dumps it into a windrow wich is later picked up with a combine with a pickup attachment on it. They also have a reel like a combine. By using a swather you can cut the crop a little before it is ready and let the seed dry. Many times grass seed will be blown out before it is cut if it is left standing until it reaches the desired moisture content. More often than not a swather will result in more and drier seed. I have not seen them used in a haying operation. They come in pull type as well as selfpropeled models.
