With our rotarys I usually try to start raking where I finished mowing and rake backwards, with a little practice you can get to where you almost never drive over hay that has already been raked.

It look like nice full windrows. We are finally getting a good rain in Wisconsin when we needed it most. Surely will be a nice second crop in a couple of weeks. About how many round bales you make up? Just think of the square bales you would have.... Work in the mow. 😊

I haven't seen any of the new John Deere round balers. The used ones I have seen I am not impressed with, and I wasn't trying to kill time I was raking the field. When you bump it up a few gears like you suggested you get going too fast and the rake is bouncing all over the place. I guess I'd rather take an extra couple of minutes and do a good job instead of a sloppy job and broken equipment and a field done fast
