Just learning to hate this rake. If you get in any thick stuff at all, it will clog up at the back wheels. Hay likes to get around the rake wheels, etc.
I am curious if anyone has modded a rake to improve performance? It also very much sucks at leaving hay behind. Probably another 10 bales in a 40 acre field after raking TWICE.
There seems some debate on which way the rake wheels should be mounted. On mine, the points on the wheel tines are facing forward as they strike the ground which forces them to spin. I am not sure if I still do not have enough down force or what. Was my understanding they need to just touch the ground, which they do.
