We have a new Holland 7220 that is starting
its third season. It has been an excellent
machine. I've tried using it two ways. One
is with the rear vertical flap ( sorry, not
sure of the correct name) down so that it
spreads the hay completely across the mowed
swatth. The other way is to leave the flap
all the way up, so that the grass being
discharged is standing more loosely,
upright, but in a narrower windrow. Both
situations are with the side flaps at the
widest position. I can't tell much
difference in drying time. Crop ranges from
pure clover to fescue, orchard grass, or a
combination of all. How do you guys set
your mowers?
