Using our new Ogden Hay Runner RCR12 for the first time

Raking the first hay of 2024 with our new Ogden RCR12 hay rake to make rye baleage

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Nice rake Brian, it looks like it will serve you well. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed day and week ahead my friend.

[@Hobocreekfarm]

Great video also. Thanks for taking us along with you.

Very nice rake! Never seen one like it! Like the features!

[@GordonBright-sq4ef]

Nice heavy buit rake making wide swath. Be plus on RB field with options on setting take up

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Looks like a pretty nice rake Thank you Brian!

[@SLCFarms]

Thanks hope you are doing well.

@@SLCFarms we're doing... Trying to get a new to us baler cleaned up and fix a few things.. and working on 2 tractors.. might be doing an inframe on one.. of course it's the one we need for the big baler🙄

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

Hello Big "B" Nice to see you.... I have to say that the Rake is Very Impressive..... Things are still going here..... Even though the Deere Balers gave us good service, This year we will be using the Variable chamber Krones With the drop floor and knives... Presently selling the Deeres to prevent Confusion when rebaling. Wide band on Net changes sides from Deere to Krone...important when loading Unroller

[@SLCFarms]

Pretty neat. Good to hear from you Mr David. I think the krone balers will soot you well

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

Well Clint figured out one of them enough , that we were able to use it on our last 1/3 growth final cut at the end of last year.... A Krone Rep is coming after the Memorial weekend, to fill in the rest of the blanks... I was impressed by the how clean the pick up leaves the area where the area that it crosses, even where there was no windrow....

Brian, I like that rake (and the video angles). If the center wheels were missing anything, it escaped my old eyes lol. One question about your Kubota M-71D: where does that sunroof shed its water? Are there channels in the top?

[@justinmills8084]

I am curious if the hay is to dry to make salage? Wait and see 👀 😏

[@Hobocreekfarm]

What would be the reason for the two wheels in the center? Do they help with what you ran over with the tractor tires?

[@SLCFarms]

They insure all the hay gets flipped. With our heavy dues in the mornings and ground moisture moving all the hay before baling will help insure it’s all drying by getting air around it.

[@Hobocreekfarm]

@@SLCFarms that makes since.

@@Hobocreekfarm also helps the baler pick up everything better when it's raked and fluffed up off of the ground as well... leave less in the field.
