Cutting and Raking Hay on This new Farm!
What happens here
The farmer demonstrates the V-rake's function, explaining that its 'V' shape rakes hay from both sides into a single windrow in the middle. He shows how the hydraulic system raises and lowers the rake wheels, and how the entire unit can be hydraulically squeezed together for transport and spread out for operation. He unhooks a chain to allow the rake to fully extend.
Goal: Learn the operation and adjust the V-rake for fieldwork
