Pasco WA. | I am very skeptical. He is claiming faster drydown, however I have to rake sooner than normal. Where I am at I often have a problem with heavy dews. If I rake too soon or too wet the bottom of the row will not dry out. The best method for me has been to rake in the morning and bale that evening. Also hit the field with lots of raking power. I just bought another tractor today so that I can do my daily raking in 2 hours instead of 3. Trying to hit the ideal window better.
I see lots of limitations to the rotary. Sometimes in poor drying I like to turn two single rows and come back and rake them together. Sometimes I have to turn a double windrow. None of that looks to fit the rotary. I also see a lot of fragile moving parts to fix.
Tomorow morning is going to be tough for the rotary. We had a hot dry wind today and the hay dried way faster than I expected. Not what I normally get but it happens. | |
