I will say it can sort of work because I have tried it myself.
Beater yard truck that had working air conditioning seemed like a much better option when compared to an open cab tractor with the heat we had that summer.
1st attempt wrapped hay so tight around the driveshaft it almost stopped the truck before sending out plumes of smoke from the smoldering mess of hay that took half an hour to cut off.
2nd attempt made a custom hitch that stuck a few feet out past the side of the truck to eliminate the need to drive over the swath.
Worked well but even in low range it's hard to keep your speed down to what the rake is designed to operate at.
After blowing a few bearings and breaking a few bars the idea was scrapped.
