Can't catch a break in the weather here, and I've got about 5 acres of heavy, fertilized broke I need to get swathed and baled.
Got maybe a 2-3 day window first part of next week, with rain almost certain after this.
Debating setting my old 1090 Hesston swather to just lay flat, after the crimper, as opposed to windrowing it, then raking into windrows.
My reasoning is thus: I can rake up smaller, more manageable windrows for my square baler, and I'm thinking the hay may dry faster laid flat and raked up.
Any thoughts???
