Homemade Tandem Hay Rake

Another busy day on the farm made easier with our own fabrication on a tandem hay rake hitch. Bonus for our farm hand, we picked up a Schwinn cruiser 7 work bike to get around from job to job. Plenty to do everyday.

We had two 660 John Deere rakes. We made a hitch out of angle iron on one of the rakes to make two singles and then in second cutting we had a piece of angle that flipped out so the second rake was hooked to the opposite side so it could pick up the windrow from the first rake to make a double. We had a logger come in to take some trees out of the woods. He said he could tell the wood lot had been pastured. He was right but it had been 50 years since any livestock had been back there..

Farmers are great fabric engineers
