Overview
This is a farmer's real-time field diary of using a Kubota rotary rake for the first time behind a new tractor, not a rake spec review or dealer demo. It covers hands-on setup struggles: adjusting the hydraulic rake, dealing with field ruts catching the wheels and teeth, and the tradeoffs of lifting the rake to protect it versus leaving hay behind. Useful for owners troubleshooting real rake setup problems, not shoppers wanting specs.
Posted by a small first-generation Pennsylvania hay and pumpkin farm sharing their own hands-on field experience, not a dealer or reviewer.
