That's not the easiest thing to do, rake windrows of a thin stand or parts of it being thin like it shown. Overall, looks pretty good. You'll do better in a mature stand, it's kind of self explanatory.
I used a tedder on mature stands, then a NH ground driven rake 256 NH I believe, but we also had a M-F pto driven rake as well. The last one we had was a Kuhn, rotary rake, that was a little different than a side delivery rake.
It was relatively easy to make nice windrows when it's all flat and dispersed with the tedder, basically like mowing in a sense. I pass makes 1 windrow. I raked with using the 315 NH in mind, and the farmer I worked with, really liked the results, his son even more and in the past they did 20-25K bales a year. I'd have it all raked and ready to bale when he arrived from his daytime job. I hadn't done it in many many years, but never forgot how to. I was concerned that it might not be as they liked it done, not the case.
For the 583 JD round baler, I would double up the rows in 2nd cut, he'd tell me how he wanted it, I'd make it so. It was a lot of fun.
I could suggest when baling unknown areas, skip the outside rows til last. Reason I say that is, one of our fields was near the backyard of a nice home and apparently they kept a stack of firewood near the edge, Well one of those chunks ended up going in the pick up of the 315, but it was caught soon enough and we got it out. Had it been worse, we'd have lost the field do to weather, vs, just the outside rows because we did the middle first.

Today's Featured Article - What Price Enthusiasm? - by Anthony West. Quite frankly, for some time now restorers like myself have become more and more concerned about the rapid increase in the prices of old farm machines here in England. There is now a growing market for "As found" machines. Which as machines get rarer, has found the birth of a new industry....one of the "procurement agent". These agents appropriate as much old machinery as possible then inflate prices at auctions. So at what price enthiusiasm? We are now seeing poor machines which 3 years ago ma
