I'm helping my father in law bale hay, and his Vermeer wd20 rake is about to kill me.
It keeps balling up, I will be raking along and all the sudden I have a wad of hay about the size of a Volkswagen. I spent a bunch of time pulling hay out of the rake and carrying it back to the winrow, not my idea of fun in 98 degrees
The grass is heavy but well cured. low humidity, windy and hot. it is in good shape.
Most of the time I can only use half of the rake, and it still wads up sometimes.
Is there some adjustment we can make? I've used this rake for years and it has always been a pain in the butt, but not like this year.
I vote for a new rake, but its his stuff.
