Ya those are big fancy rakes.

 

[Whitewing]

What's one of those big guys cost? Pretty handy to be able to pull it behind a pickup.

That's what I was wondering as I found a used one coming up at auction.

definitely not a 6 wheel 1957 Massey... :shock:
You will definitely have to pay attention pulling one of those. As will the neighbours... :lol:

They look like they should work well-I wish a guy could buy more big square bales up in my country they are nice to feed.

Big squares = big sponge.

Big squares-big shed-good feed. We bought 7 or 8 loads of them during the drought.

I raked a LOT of mowed prairie hay with a tedder/rake like in WW's pic. They did a decent job. Good for moving/fluffing windrows that got some rain or real heavy dew.

looks like over kill to me. i'm guessing it costs way more than it's worth.

I'd bet over $30,000. We started fertilizeing add rain its more than a 9 wheel wants.I've gave up on all my prairie fields that could use that rake.When it does'nt produce a 1000#s to the acre why bother.

I don't know Big Muddy looks pretty tough. Everybody in this country rakes a couple of windrows together, it does make up time if you have a lot of acres. I am sure denny might be pretty close on price but it could also be one of those deals of a lifetime. You buy it and let us know how much and if you like it.

How is it going up there anyways?

have a cold one

It's going pretty good. I'm keeping busy hauling bales home.

Thats good to hear, having feed is better than not having feed. so what did the rake bring?

It doesn't sell for another month. I was looking at the sale listing as i know the fellow as he is only about 60 miles away.
