Subject: RE: Those of you with rotary rakes


Sioux County, NWIA
Using a rotary rake would be an option of last resort for me. I would first look at your conditioning system and look at how wide your swath is coming out of the mower. If you have good conditioning and the swath is about 50% of mower cutting width, you should be able to quit using a tedder as they create problems for raking. My personal preference for a hay rake is a Vermeer Twinrake. There are wheel rakes out there that will do as well and do it faster in specific conditions but the hydraulic V rakes can operate acceptably in a wider range of conditions.

Never rake dew into hay. I would rather rake a little on the dry side and lose a few leaves.
