Has anyone seen or used a rake setup to pull a baler? The rake having a pto shaft attached to the tractor and then to the baler.

I'm doing good to keep one thing going at a time. Too complicated for my little brain. (Maybe mount the rake on the front of the tractor, baler on rear?)

Rake is light, baler is heavy & pushy. Sounds like a disaster.

Rake delivers to the side, the blaer would be way off center.

How do you run the pto through the rotating rake?

See lots of single or double wheel rakes on the front of the tractor, but can't see how you could put a baler behind a rake. Can't work for several reasons.

I had a nieghbor who rigged-up a baler behind his combine. As he was combining oats, the baler (had its own engin) picked up what was coming out the rear.

That would be one scary driveline. There would be
too much whipping around of the PTO shafts on
corners. Might work with a baler mounted motor
and a dolly wheel on the front of the baler, but
your ground speed would be quite slow. It would
be faster and safer to do it in the regular way.
If you had a centerline type baler like a Hesston
and a front 3pt mount gyro-type rake that would
work too.

generaly you rake hay while it still is slightly uncured. Thus the two operations are better spaced several hours up to a day or more apart. When I round bale sometimes I like to put two windrows together just ahead of the baler so I either have to do it myself or else find a nother tractor driver.

If it's just for drying you'd have to space them like said above, if you just want to merge the rows you'd be better off with a front-mounted merger like Gehl made unless it's a centre-line baler

Farmshow had a story about a v-wheel rake ahead of a tractor pulling a centerline baler, just to pull windrows together to speed up baling.
