[QUOTE="OklaBrangusBreeder, post: 1138933, member: 2672"] My 2 cents worth.... I got a new 10 wheel rake three seasons ago and it about ate my lunch the first day I used it. Two things that made the difference for me. * It should not clog in back. If it is, you probably need to open the rear throat by adjusting the angle of the wheel arm. That is about the #1 thing I would tell you to do before anything else. After I did that, the rake worked just like it should. * Since it was working so well, I tried to increase the ground speed and found that I could drive too fast for the hay to kick out the back. When I shifted back down 1 gear, it went back to raking like it should and all worked well. Those sound like simple things. But it took both to get my rake to work. Now that I have it set and know what gear to rake in, I've had no problems at all. [/QUOTE]
