But let me tell you. Their is not one thing wrong with this rake. It was outside in the summer more then it should have been so thats why the paint is not so good. Didnt have the shed room like we should have had. BTW it has dolly wheels also. Home made, but work and look as nice as if they were from New Holland.

Don't let some of these guys discourage you with the paint. Some people, I for one, like to keep their equipment looking good. I do a lot of maintenance and that includes paint. At the end of every season I power wash, replace worn or damaged parts, grease and touch up. I almost never have a break down during haying season. Make it look good and be proud of it. Good luck.

Don't misunderstand - a good looking unit is great.

The problem is, we have too many consignment sales around here, where the fellows bring in shiny stuff with new paint on it. And that is the _only_ maintenence that was done on the thing for 20 years. Paint it up to look nice so the worn out junk sells.....

Gets to the point that anything with new paint & no use is considered suspect.....

Dolly wheels have never been popular around 'here' either. Some places it sounds like they are real popular.

Me, I use the 3pt hitch to adjust the hight of the rake on the fly, dolly wheels would be a downgrade. As well, folks around here don't like the extra set of wheels pressing down the hay. And, harder to back up & manuver on small odd sized fields....

So, just being honest - where I am, all the 'features' listed would actually hurt the sale of this rake in my neighborhood..... .

Now, your rake well maintained and also used would look like a good deal at a sale, & I would pay a lot more attention to it than one with fresh paint dripping off each tooth..... How it is. There is a difference in what you are doing & what this person preposes to do. You 'make it work' and he wants to 'make it pretty'.

I couldn't agree more. I do see items at auction that the only maintenance they appear to have had is paint. I discount those immediately.

When and if i sell my rake. It will work as good as it looks! Other then maybe a few teeth missing, it works as good as when it was new.
