[QUOTE="MasseyFerg, post: 838347, member: 16753"] newbie to hay making. So i cut it one day. when do i rake it? when the grass is dry on top or do i wait until right before baling? googling says that hay drys faster in the swath that windrow so I guess that means I shouldn't rake it until the last minute as maybe the rake doesn't completely flip it, some of the green stuff is still covered up? oh, its an old NH side delivery rake not one of them fancy expensive wheel rakes. also I guess the wider the swath, the faster it drys? Mabye i can adjust it to make a wider swath [/QUOTE]
