Read articles →This is a personal field video, not a tractor review, the operator rakes hay for cattle feed shortly after rain, narrating in real time (while fighting a fever and sore throat) about ground moisture, making multiple passes around the field, and letting hay get airflow to dry. It skips specs and equipment details entirely, focusing instead on the raking technique and field conditions. Best suited for viewers curious about hay-raking practice, not tractor shopping.
Posted by the Elm custom harvesting channel, apparently run by a hay/custom farming operator sharing routine field work rather than product reviews.
The first pass breaks the hay and lets air get underneath so it starts drying, especially on the wetter outside rounds, then a later pass cleans everything up.
Yes, even after over an inch of rain, though conditions can be spotty by field, and the ground still shows dust in drier spots while raking.
No, the operator says the rake does not hurt the hay or move it much, just lifting up and going over it to expose it to air.
