You're right TxJim...it's not fun. But, I adapted mine so as not to have to use the hydraulic lift cylinder. I welded a bracket on the tongue and use "tow bars" (welded to the fronts of each side bar rake) to move mine from field to field. You simply push the sides in to hook up the two tow bars and go. It transports with the two rakes riding on the same dolly wheels on the front of the rake. You can't drive 40 miles an hour with it, but it works. My wife can even move them in and out now. I bought this thing cheap because the previous owner was an old fart (just like me) and he had trouble moving it in and out manually. I thought "well I can remedy that". I'm naturally lazy so I have to rely upon "creativity" to help me out. I also converted my double bar rake into a "push" style. I hook it to the front end loader on the tractor and can now rake and bale all in the same pass. It works.....but in all honesty, not well. If I had large rectangular fields it would be a dream. Small irregular shaped fields (that require lots of turning) put a lot of strain on the loader. When I've got the rake on the front, inline baler behind the tractor and the accumulator behind the baler, it looks like a freight train going down the field. It's a sight to see.

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
