Sw Mo | If set properly a basket style rake ( new holland side delivery or Vermeer) will make a beautiful windrow, putting most of the green hay on top and the dry on bottom, square on top and sides, making a joy to bale hay. You might not be able to drive 10 mph with one and do such a good job but unlike wheel takes they won't swirl the hay into a screw configuration so to speak. Also won't drag rocks or clods of dirt in windrow because they aren't dragging on ground, if you bale much alfalfa they seem a lot more gentle on the leaves also.
Went from 3 past weel rakes to the r23 manual everything to a 2800 now. Wouldn't ever go back to a wheel style rake, granted they have there place, central ks in prarie hay infront of a 4x4 square a wheel rake might be better, otherwise doubtful. | |
