BALING AND RAKING HAY....ENDS IN TRAGEDY!! BALER CATCHES FIRE!
What happens here
The presenter reverses the tractor to align the 3-point hitch with the V-rake. He notes that backing up perfectly for alignment doesn't always happen. Once aligned, he connects the V-rake's hitch to the tractor's drawbar and secures it with a pin. He then connects the two hydraulic lines from the V-rake to the tractor's rear remote hydraulic ports. These lines control the rake's functions. Finally, he lowers the jack stand on the V-rake and pulls the rake slightly forward to ensure it's free from surrounding brush.
Goal: Attach the V-rake to the tractor and connect its hydraulic controls.
