Hey Austin Powers, welcome to the year 2006. No, the earth isn't ruled by apes, but they have made some advances in hay equipment since 1950. I would ask my neighbors for advice, but I don't think anyone in our township has mowed hay with a straight sickle bar since 1970. Mower/conditioners, haybines, etc. apparently have become the prefered method, so finding someone who has experience using WWII era haying methods is difficult. In my 35 years, I have not seen a hay field in our county that was not mowed directly into windrows, so I feel that I have the right to ask for some ADVICE on how to create a windrow when the mower doesn't do it automatically for me. We have a mower/conditioner to mow in the modern way, but for the conditions of my field, I think sickle mowing may work better.

Can I drive into the field with the rake and start at it and figure it out as I go? Of course. I've learned most of life's lessons by trial and error. But if possible I would like to do it right the 1st time and avoid rolling the outer windrow into the fence or doubling up windrows into something that won't dry.
