[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1268259, member: 14713"] Thankfully, my 2 hayfields are actually square :) A 40 and a 160. I do bale a couple yards up and don't use the rake there :yuck: I run my rake with the tractor remotes. Tractor is a Ford 9600. IIRC, the tractor holds about 15 gallons of transdraulic fluid. Has a 2 qt spin-on filter I intend to change every year but don't always get it done :oops: Seems to handle the rake no problem, with no overheating. The tractor has a Waldon 9' dozer on it and 2 hydraulic remotes. I put the transport link in to hold the dozer up when raking because that is the remote I use to run the baskets. Anyone familiar with a Waldon dozer would agree it would be a bear to take off the tractor :mrgreen: The other remote handles folding/unfolding/lifting/lowering functions with the hydraulic splitter control box provided by Vermeer. Tractor loafs along at high idle 12-1400 engine RPM in Hi 5th gear. Governor is a little logy so we give 'er a bit more throttle on steeper hills :P For some reason (probably left one of the switches on) the splitter box will run the battery dead in a coupld days. So after we get the rake set up the way we want it in the field we make sure to unplug it :idea: [/QUOTE]
