As you say more gentil with the hay. What they are designed for the hay is already spread out so that is a non isue, not designed to be used on a raked hay, use only before you rake. When they were built there were no mower-conditioners that put the hay in a swath of narrow size. Around here the only machines used to put the hay in a row is for silage an not dry hay as it will not cure in row. If they have a unit fot that they also have a unit that puts it in a swath just a foot narrower than the cut for dry hay. As for the ropeing I always wanted a nice tight winrow, not a wide fluffy one and you only got that nice tight row with the 45 degree angle basket rakes, a parrallel bar rake will not do it so I would not want one. We would rake the field just before baling usually so same operator could do both raking and baling. That fluffy ror if the slightest breave was torn up before you got there with the baler. If wind was bad enough still had the blown away row but not as bad. Had times had to try to rake only 50' ahead of baler because of blown rows, usually worse in straw. A wile back someone asked about a AC round baler and was told to put two rows side by side. AC actually said 3 of the tight roped as they are being called rows against each other. So for that fluffer to work corectly you mowed with a 7' bar mower followed up with a pull type crusher, next morning you went out and lifted it, then following morning you raked and started baling in afternoon. If you got rain on the row after it was made to dry it out you used something like the No 4 New Idea rake-tedder and it realy beat the hay in tearing the row apart, then after drying you took that rake back in and raked it to bale. Only other company I know of that built a rake-tedder was McCormick but only in a 3 bar open gear rake. And Bryce is in northern Idaho just a few miles from the Canidian border up in more forest land.
