    Alright guys,

    Was thinking of starting a thread like this for a while so I thought we could give it a lash.

    Stick up your photos of your machines at rest or at play for the ones of us who suffer from shiny heavy metal appreciation syndrome :)

    Also any enquires or questions on machines or techniques could be put here also.

    Maybe our beautiful mods might embed the photos as we go along for the ease of viewing the thread also

    Enjoy....:)

    16ft single rotor rake. Not bad but is a little slow to work. About 4 acres an hour. You have the option though of raking as much as you like into one row. I managed roughly 60 foot into each row on a light crop last year. Helped out the baler man no end

    Not sure just yet as the engines have changed. Not a large fan of the cab layout tho. Throttle lever and pto levers are in awkward places

    You get better bales with bigger rows plus it saves you paying for a man to come in with a rake. You do it at your own time also rather than waiting on someone

    Have a 7ft mower and a haybob here. Seriously thinking of getting a single rotor rake as well. Would save a lot of compaction if baler didn't have to be going up and down the field every 12 ft. Plus much better bales after rake than haybob. Was that one expensive Reggie?

    Got that one for 2000. Got it right. Leaves no lumps like a haybob as it only moves it yo one side rather than flinging it out the back. Less rows mean less twists on the headland

    tell me
    do you have a rake got to rake it back into swaths?
    single or double rotor?

    I bought a wuffler last year to save me buying a tedder and a rake but the contractor is only leaving 10 foot swaths and all the driving up and down would make you dizzy
