Yesterday I saw fields of hay being raked so it could be baled up. The rake had ten wheels to create windrows which is a lot different than the old dump rakes that were hard to make straight rows for a baler. The old dump rakes would drag and rake the hay and then the operator would ‘dump’ the clump of hay and then on the next pass, the goal was to drop the hay in the same line which wasn’t always easy to do.
