To add to IA Haymaker's comment, if the hay is flying up and/or the windrow is too loose you need to shorten the rods. The rake will then make rope like windrows, not the best to bale but they will stay together better.
As for the speed, we rake as fast as ground will let us. Usually high 1st or high 2nd on 1086, 1500-1800 rpm, faster if baler is catching up.
