Yes ! LOTS of variables. This is dry country, we have to wait until the Dews on. Best time is to start the rake is generally mid morning & start 1/2 hr or so ahead of the baler, If I have good 'dew' moisture, I'll run 6 or 7 mph but as the hay starts to dry, I'll slow things down both to save the leaves and let the baler catch up. Might be down to 4 or less then. One of the exceptions is baling at night, have to catch the dew setting on, start out slow, I just try to match speed with the baler & just stay ahead of it. We cut with a swather and use a Vermeer vee rake to roll two windrows together for baling.
