In Reply to: Dump Rake update posted by WheatFarmer on March 07, 2016 at 10:07:20:
My Dad and uncle converted their dump rake to tractor pull when they quit horses and got a tractor.They had a side delivery bar type rake,but when hay was short then we would rake up missed hay with the dump rake,and bale it.It did not miss much hay,and we thought it was neat to use it,but I now doubt it was worth the trouble for extra hay we baled.If the the hay baler missed any hay,then we followed behind it with a pitchfork and forked it into the baler or the next windrow.No hay could be left on the ground-they believed it would clog the sickle bar mower on the next cutting,and that also it would be wasteful.I have no idea of the brand,but remember you could push the hand lever to dump,or use the foot pedal to assist.With the tractor,we just tied a rope to the pedal and pulled it if no one was around to ride the rake.It was the only made to be horse drawn implement they saved. Dad told a story of using the dump rake with a skittish horse.The horse did not like the dumping action,and took off running,and upset the rake throwing Dad off.Mark
