Hay got rained on last night..ugh... Anyways, I don't have a tedder to spread out the windrows and I don't have a rake to run in reverse like a NH. But what I do have is an old crimper. If I were to mount a deflecting shield on the back for the hay to hit directly, would you think it make the hay stand up some verses justing crimping and letting it lay flat?? Just a shot in the dark. Happy haying this wet spring!!

That's a good use for an old machine. It will fluff the windrow some, and the extra crimp helps the hay dry faster. Did it often behind a JD800 14 foot swather which had its own crimper on it. Narrow crimper was not too effective with such a wide head- was ok for chopping haylage, but tough to bale behind.

What kind of rake do you have. I believe the rake will be better at picking the wet hay up off the ground. Roll the windrows a couple of times today if possible to keep it from bedding down on the ground. The NH does not run in reverse but rather you let the right hand side down to normal rak height and keep the left side up about half way and it will scatter a windrow as it discharges. Wheel Rakes can be turned over and around and they work as a tedder as well. I am trying link to the Sitrex website. Under their RP 6 and RP12 hayrake product information there is a picture at the bottom of the page showing how to use those styles of rakes for spreading. If it doesn't show up then www.sitrex.com and go to hayrakes and then RP^ and RP12

So, do they have the worst home page in the world????? Been waiting 5 minutes now for the pointless movie to load so I can actually get somewhere. Finally closed the window. Don't these companies realise not _everyone_ in on a T-10 connection?????
