I have one that I recently replaced with a new holland side delivery rake. Best part about those rakes are the price. Like its been said on previous posts they do much better on level ground. Just take your time and watch the turns and you will do fine with it.

 Well.... in reply to green farm, 07-06-2005 11:09:41  
Is your hay field smooth? If it's not then you'll be raking lots of air or lots of dirt at times. Turns will need to be slow and gradual or when you turn the rear wheel will swing away from the hay going left and drag the hay turning right, without reaching all the hay. And I mean REAL gradual turns. They have a tendency to bunch the windrow when it gets big. It gets wrapped up in the framework and bunches. On a smaller tractor it'll make the front end light so you may need weights or a bigger tractor(heavier than a 8/9N ford series). Or, live with it. Steep uphill turns are where I saw it the worst. Upside to them is they're cheap, can be turned upright for transport, and if the fields are smooth you can go like a bat out the cave! Loren.
