| That is how many acres my Allen's have to rake each year on a 4 cut system.
The rotary that I demo'ed a few yrs. back was not for me. I does not lift hay into the windrow like the bar rakes do, but just drags the hay over to the windrow. Dealer tried to adjust, but to no avail. Lots of leaves across the ground. The Allen, raking next to it, left no leaves.
Durability was also a big question, as they look real fragile.
Comes down to what you do and where you do it. Us Western hay producers live in a totally different envoriment than the producers back in the midwest and east.
All said and done, my Allens are on their 4th year and are taking some repairs, more than I would like. Next rakes will be the Twinstar.
Raking hay is an art and I have always said that it is the most critical part of make quality hay. I have my best workers on the rakes, and the "flunkies" do the cutting. | |
