In Reply to: hay rake advice posted by Keith Molden on October 15, 2017 at 07:55:44:
Don't know where you are located but up here in NW wis raking is part of the drying process. I run a nh 256 tandem hitch. First time over I rake 2 single windrows and go back the next day and shift the hitch to make a double one. But most of my hay goes to horsy people who feed it lovingly one flake at a time and want every flake to be perfect. Had a Vermeer v rake and sold it after one year. Didn't corner well, wanted to plug at the back and bunch up, and I felt like I was doing primary tillage every time I used it. Plus it didn't have a center kicker wheel which left a strip of hay in the middle undisturbed which is a no no when the ground is damp. All that bitching aside, I do abit of custom baling with a 4' wide Vermeer. Baling is much nicer behind a V rake. You just drive and can let your mind wander. Nearly perfect bale every time because the windrow is so uniform. Good luck with your choice after sorting through all this advice.
