    I am considering purchasing a lely rake next year. I currently have a haybob. I was wondering what is the difference between the lely lotus rakes and the lely Stabilio rakes. Has anyone used the combi to rake grass? Are they worth buying or should I just use the rake for spreading out grass? Does anyone know how expensive a new rake is? I have been told they are light enough and alot of the second hand ones may not be great. Thanks.

    A rake won't spread out grass just rake it in.i wouldn't bother with a rake,buy a 4 rotor Tedder second hand .i have a 15 year old lely stabilo 6 rotor Tedder ,cost me 5 k 4 years ago and I wouldn't be without it when making wraps or pit.

    you can get a stabillo combi version as well as a tedder, the combi can rake which isn't that good at not as good as a proper rake,i have a 600 stabillo tedder great machine to ted the heavier the crop the better.

    Were going to get extra veins for the mower here, and get a lad to rake it in the day after mowing. Should make better silage, anyone else do this?
