From all the haying I've done(and believe me, it's been a LOT...2000 big rounds a year)....there is no hard and fast rule. Your best bet is to look at the particular peice of land you're haying, and then just rely on gut instinct(also read as common sense) to tell ya how to approach it. Longer is better.

That machine's still burning fuel whether it's makin' hay or not. So try to make things so that you're making the longest possible pass through a land without turning.
If you're new to it, it can take time...but as ya go, you'll be doing a field and think to yourself "dang, it woulda been better to do it this other way"....and just save that thought and do it the better way the next time.
