Raking Hay with a Compact Tractor

A working-farm account of a hay-raking session that ran into real-world trouble, unexpected rain, questionable windrow strategy, and a rake the operator admits is undersized for the job. The video walks through how a rotary rake works mechanically, discusses PTO speed, top-link adjustment, and windrow sizing, and shares honest thoughts on hay quality and small-bale sales. Best for hobby farmers figuring out their own raking workflow.

An owner-operator channel documenting daily farm work on their own property, with an affiliate relationship with equipment dealer Small Farm Innovations mentioned in the video.
