[QUOTE="Andrew, post: 7377935, member: 93"] Sorry, re read my first and it was a bit confusing! I meant, the mower can cope with 25+kph on skids so no reason a rake shouldn’t cope at slower speeds. On smooth ground here the wheeled rake started missing bits at 15k and you could see it being shaken to pieces. The skid rake got to 21k and then started missing bits as the rotor speed wasn’t high enough. The rotors were just gliding over the ground though, should really reduce fatigue. The merger hit 24k, but the swath looked awful. I’m not advocating running at those speeds - just that sometimes it will help. [/QUOTE]
