Clover is no doubt tough to dry down. Here in NH we all mow into a 4 ft swath so that the sun can dry the ground for 4-8 hours then we tedd it out. We will tedd again after another eight hours or so. Then it gets dicey as to getting it raked before it is completely dry so as to avoid leaf loss. Sometimes we may tip the windrows over to give the bottom a little more sun just a couple hours before baling. We have to bale in full sunlight or dried hay will suck moisture out of the moist ground. There is no place for a merger in this game, it is impossible to make hay here without a tedder. The dairy farmers will combine swaths since they are making haylage. The dairy farm where I hung out as a kid mows 27 feet wide into one swath with a Krone Big M then follows with a big V rake to merge three swaths into one. They load it into their trucks with one of their 800 HP NH choppers.
