How do these mergers keep infront of 600hp? Seems slow and narrow. Great idea tho
You ever thought how many pickup times are in those merger rakes? The thought of keeping replacing those would be an instant NO and that's before how heavy those things are. Designed for Alfa Alfa and that's about it.

Have you/ did you look at a merger instead of a rake?

No. The rake is just dandy as we only rake just in front of the chopper to max drying time and then look for a "square" swath. From the evidence of yesterday's first outing, I would say that a 4 rotor does a better job of swathing and presenting to the chopper than a 2 row.
