BALING AND RAKING HAY....ENDS IN TRAGEDY!! BALER CATCHES FIRE!
What happens here
The presenter drives the tractor with the V-rake into the hayfield. He lowers the rake's tines to the ground using the hydraulic controls, allowing the large basket-type rollers to rotate along the ground and pick up the cut hay. The rake then forms the hay into neat windrows, preparing it for baling. The drone footage shows the efficiency of the V-rake in gathering the hay. The presenter notes that a few missing tines on the rake are not a significant issue unless a large number are missing.
Goal: Rake the cut hay into organized windrows using the V-rake.
