Dang! I cannot believe that baler kept up with that guys speed. He was really covering some ground there and the baler was just taking it all in. Very impressive.
Yea we noticed it was off a bit too lol. This little section was super rutted up and rough so we weren't too worried about it for this little section. But she's workin better now.
@danielthomason5685 it was pretty hit and miss with that field. It was a small field that we got to super late and just wanted cleaned up for the year.
Using this rake vs a bar style, What do you do when the field is light and need to pack 3 or 4 passes into the row? I need to upgrade my old rake but often my fields are not heavy enough to just put couple rows into it.
So we ran into a similar situation that year with minimal growth from no rain, and basically we would rake a row then catch that row with one side of the rake to pull it into more hay until we had a decent amount, then start a new row. Definitely no ideal. We ended up not raking some spots in the field because it was just taking too long and burning up more diesel than the hay was worth lol
Are you going to help him pay for fixing his fields. It is not cheap to get a thick crop and if the weather does not work to his advantage he could spend a lot of money with no return on investment.
@@Stupidwon1234567 Drought plus heat, sometimes fields here get very short too. Most people still have old Rowse 42' dump rakes. Goes over a field fairly quickly, works great for thin stuff, and with grass hay sometimes over $200/ton around here (poor quality this year is about $120 so far I think), going over a field for scatterings can add up quickly. To make it easier, a person can go around the outside/obstacles with the other kind first. Most around here use 20 wheel V rakes, never seen anyone with these raker style, and bar type are very rare. Most common mower is a Vermeer tm1210 (based on visual, most of my neighbors have one).

It's definitely pretty impressive how fast you can bail with it
From the sounds of that ATV they must be baling at about 40MPH.. 😂😂😂
Haha not quite but it was moving at a pretty good rate
😅😅 damn, adjust your rake

8.2 is way to dry. No feed value left....15% for a 4x5 is the aim

If your hay is so thin that 1 pass from a double rotary rake won’t make a row, you need to fix your fields

@@farmer2521 it’s cheaper to make thick hay than to spend the fuel running around for a bale an acre
