I have an old David Bradley trail drager (two wheels in the back and two driven ones in the front with a tongue) type side delivery rake that works okay most of the time. The challenge is getting the corners to be clean. Since the rake had a tongue on it, the backend of the rake gets drug around the corner pretty quickly when trying to make a square corner. This leaves areas of hay that are not raked. So does everyone try to make square corners or semi rounded corners. THe semi rounded corners seem best for the baler but that leaves hay in the corner of the field. On another raking question is how close do you run the rake up the previous rake row. I see pictures of perfectly raked fields where the row is straight and no hay is left straggling next to the left hand side of the row. My rake is old enough and worn enough that I seem to have a hard time keeping the area next to the previous row clean. Thoughts. Do any of you go back and rerake the field after you have the hay off of it?

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
