Not tryin to step on anyone's toes here, but ussually the time spent raking, atleast for us, 2 or more together espescially with a v-rake, is more than saved when it comes time to bale it up. Espescially true in 2nd & 3rd crops, where the hay is thinner but the tractor is already going about as fast as you dare go with a baler and load of hay behind you. May not be as much of a difference with a big round or square baler, but I think it is. A couple years ago we hired out most of our haying to a guy who had a 3x3x8 baler, he went just as fast if it was single, double, or triple (9' cut). His baler could take it though. Raking it, even if it has already been conditioned and windrowed can save time too, but in Nebraska where it's dry all the time it may not make as much difference. We will double rake even if the hay is still a little damp, because the damp part is still getting exposed to the sun and air and it'll dry out quicker being double raked than it will not being raked at all and still laying where it was placed by the haybine. Just what we do around here, your practices and beliefs may be different. Donovan from Wisconsin
