    What are you planting this year

    HayRay, I was thinking of doing some italian ryegrass and red clover on some ground this spring that has been in row crops for almost the last decade. Its mostly sandy loam soil. Just wondering if you grazed it or made haylage out of it. How productive was it? I was thinking of running some...

    Wheel Rake or Rotary Rake?

    Yes, I very much agree with you and this is my one concern with the 12-wheel rake. I hope to increase the size of my haybine but this would not be until next year (2009). Then the 12 wheel rake would be better suited.
