I cut using a NI disk mower/conditioner and spread the grass as wide as it will go. I usually cut with the mower set for a 2.75 to 3 inch height. In wet years this is somewhat helpful as it keeps the hay off the ground. I make sure my conditioning rolls are properly adjusted for maximum conditioning effect.

I use a rotary rake, which gently stands the hay up on ends and adjusted for tall & wide fluffy windrows...no more rolled "rope".. I rake when the hay is somewhat green on the bottom and let the hay dry in the windrow... on the raised stubble. The salesman said I'd cut a day off my drying time and save fuel and leaves by using a rotary and not tedding. He was right.
