Big Windrows make better bales

Ideally if you have a windrow the width of your baler and 2-3" high you will make the best bales with this situation. You might want to look to a V-Wheel rake. They will make a big windrow and take the weaving out of baling. New Hay Max 8 wheel rakes that rake 20" in each pass start at $1,950.

But you ought to see what the windrows look like. Yucko. I watched him bale them afterwards, and I couldn't believe that he was able to bale them and not leave half of it on the ground or stuck in the entrance gate.

Second problem I have with wheels is wind and fine grass. On a windy day, you can't rake bermuda and when you work in town to make a living, you can't be choosy and wait for a windless day. Besides, where I live it is said that the wind blows harder and more often than in Chicago!

I'll take the parallel bar.
