I have noticed in several of your postings you rake counterclockwise. Have you tried going the other direction when you are raking? Roll the back swath in (travel counterclockwise) then turn and roll almost a full rake width out onto it, making one windrow. Then continue working clockwise around the field. I find it cleaner to minimize travel on the downed hay and to travel on and pull hay away from the laying hay than trying to clean the laying hay away from a rolled windrow. We often leave the outside window to last and bale it counterclockwise if it is too near the tree or fence line. Also if the hay is light set in 2 or 3 swathes make the two or three passes needed to roll them out to make one larger windrow. (Same distance/fuel to rake a field, but less distance traveled, fuel, and run time on the baler.) Just my experience, each to his own. Enjoy and have fun with the family.
