I'm considering buying a rotary rake. I bale 200 to 300 4x4 round bales a year. Recently switched to a drum mower from a JD 1217 mower conditioner. Last two fields I tedded the morning after cutting was able to rake and bale by the afternoon of the second day, which isn't bad.
I'm looking to replace my JD bar rake with a rotary and maybe reduce the need to ted. I have heard a rotary rake fluffs up the windrow enough to help dry. If I could rake the windrow left behind my drum mower, rather than ted and rake it could save me moving equipment to the field and a pass thru the field. I'm in Southern Ohio and fields are mixed grass (orchard, fescue, clover and weeds).
I found Morra rakes on Agrisupply, but having a hard time finding any current reviews. Anyone have one of these rakes? Has it been reliable, does it work well? Any info would help.
