Raking 1st Crop Hay - JD 4440 & H&S Wheel Rake

[@MatthewHoag77]

I won't say you made "quick work" of 56 acres, but the video demonstrates huge time savings over the time it would take for a bar rake to cover the same ground. I like your newscast headline as the drone ran into the back of the rake. A little humor goes a long way. Thanks for the video.

[@TwoFarmBoys]

Great video! There's just something about raking that is so satisfying!

[@JasonShipley1979]

I like this rake. It's easy to use and I myself used one years ago on my uncle's farm

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

We only rake ahead of the balers..... better for us if hay is spread out should it get rained on....(Coastal Bermuda---Grass)... we had some get rained on this past week and when it was raked the next day there was still a lot of color , but 109 degree heat index will dry it out fast.... dry you out just as fast

[@brendabird3443]

Oh how many times I have raked double rows into single, only to go back and the wind had picked up while I was gone and blown those fluffy single rows of alfalfa over to the next county!!!

[@Doobie2100]

Good ole 4440!!! How’s the man van?

[@nathansmith3990]

Ever think about tedding your guys hay? Takes a little longer but produces some very good hay

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

We got super nice and try hay without wasting time and money on a tedder.

[@canvids1]

wow that rake does a great job and the hay looks so good. hope you get it baled before it gets hit with rain.

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

We did

[@michaelmurphy3567]

Are you baling 1,000 lb bales with that size?

[@thomasmccrea8149]

Hey , I could use some advice....... a buddy of mine has an H&S Wheel Rake for sale at a great price........ my biggest worry is they will pull EVERYTHING off the ground.......... are you able to adjust them to skim the ground and pick up hay only?

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

If your talking about raking rocks it usually just passes between the teeth

[@kevinkozisek3903]

All I know. It would not be good to have hay down now in NC Iowa. Rain, rain, and rain. If it is not raining it's hot and very humid. But on the bright note. You always have great videos.

[@connordanielson3048]

Were I live in Minnesota it has been raining, raining, and raining and when its not raining it is hot cloudy and humid and lots of bugs

[@kevinkozisek3903]

Connor Danielson --Yep bad fly year here. Biting little bastards.

[@connordanielson3048]

Ya me and my mom were out side and had to go in because of the flys

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

[@ontarioagguy2769]

Could the little 4440 handle the mower or not

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

Needs more weight first

[@iowadiaryfarmer3719]

Are you going to put manure in that field?

[@iowadairyboysFarms]
