Feel free to tell me if this crazy. I bought the good D-EO-20 rake a couple of weeks ago. I still have my old D-EO-20 sitting there. I have wanted a 25 because they are a foot wider but never have been able to find a good one that was reasonably priced.I could use the extra foot when raking hillsides because when your haybine cuts 10" wide and your rake is 8" wide, when you get on a hillside combining two windrows and the rake drifts down hill you either end up leaving hay because the rake isn"t wide enough or you have two windrows side by side which is too wide for the baler because the rake wasn"t wide enough to combine the two windrows together. My idea was to take my old rake and cut each side of the frame and add 6"-8" in on each side. Of course I would have to lengthen the tine bars and add a sweeper bar on each side as well as adding some teeth. Since the lift frame had already been broken long before I got it I would probably box the frame in to give it extra strength since it would be carrying extra weight. I am a certified welder so really all I would be out is time,metal,and some parts. Do any of you see a reason why it wouldn"t work?
