Cutting and Raking Hay on This new Farm!

What happens here

The farmer attempts to rake the hay for the first time. The V-rake rolls the hay into a large, tight ball, which could get tangled and be too wide for the baler. He realizes an adjustment is needed due to the density of the hay and the field conditions. He also points out some broken tines on the rake, likely from previous contact with logs, and mentions they are easily replaceable.

Goal: Evaluate rake performance and identify necessary adjustments
