Of course there ARE a lot of important variables:
For instance, if it's a weekday and I'm taking time off from work to rake - I'd say no more than 3mph. :)
I'd much rather be raking than working.
But a big field, with more important things to be doing, I'd be pushing 5mph in most cases.
Depends on the rake being used too. Old IH 4 Bar rake is never much over 4mph. JD 850 or IH 35 can do 5.
We do several smallish fields, all square bales. So not really in it for mass production. A few thousand bales a year. So, never really any need or desire to push the speed envelope to see how fast we can get it done.
