Ah I see what you mean. If that is the case then if just trying to flip over to dry, and you have to use the bar rake I would take the teeth off of about half the width of the rake so you don't catch the next windrow, and just catch the windrow with the end of the rake enough to flip it once. Takes a bit of practice to get in the right spot and get speed just right but it is quite doable. With the right tread width on tractor you should be able to adjust the draw bar so you don't have to run on the hay. My favorite hay tool for drying is a tedder that straddles the row and lifts/fluffs hay so it opens it up to dry. It even helps to pull apart the hay you rope up! I have often turned hay over with the rake and immediately followed with the tedder. With a bit of a breeze blowing it makes a huge difference in dry time. Also with the tedder the faster you drive the better it works. This pic is hay that got rained on and flattened right down and I flipped then tedded.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
