Quote: CVPost-Kelly in tx (quoted from post at 01:37:31 11/10/21) I posted this on the Implement section, but got no reply. What are your thoughts on this?:
I've got some incredibly heavy fall hay that I'm trying to rake. It is grass hay. I cut it with a cutter/conditioner and it was extremely tough cutting, then it rained. My old John Deere ground driven side delivery just can't rake it. My neighbor has an old Ford three point, pto driven rake. It has been sitting for ten years. I'm wondering if it could be helpful in trying to rake and turn over the hay. If so, what should I offer? I looked at TractorHouse.com and found one Ford side delivery rake for sale and the asking price is over $700. 26 auction Ford rakes sold for an average of $244. I think $200- $250 depending on condition, tires, v-belt, etc would be fair. Whaddya think?
If it's a 503 Ford rake it's supposed to be used with a tractor with a ground speed PTO. Try and run it off a 540 PTO and you'll quickly realize it won't work and you may well shake it apart.
BTW- You asked the question at 9PM in the implement section and then here at half past midnight. It's not that no one answered you in the implement section, it's that you didn't wait for anyone to answer you.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
