East-Central IA | berggrenfarms - 6/20/2013 16:21 I have a question. So you windrow the hay, then take this tedder thing out and basicaly spread the windrows out again, then you come back with a Vrake and rake it back together again? Why not just mow it with a sickle mower to start with? Around here if you ran the tedder and then a rake by the time you were done thered be nothing but stems left. We try to rake as little as possible.
This is my question as well. We always mowed with a 9' Vermeer disc mower, and it laid it flat just as a sickle bar mower would. Come back in 2 days and rake and bale. Never had a problem with dry down, unless we got a unexpected rain. |
