[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6393546, member: 2119"] It's the proper way to make it. If you get out of the cab and actually feel the ground/rows you'd realise that. When we used the haybob I'd always move rows across and spread in morning. Row up in the evening. Haybobs aren't that good at moving it across though. Now with the Stabilo, spread when the dews up, row up in evening. It's as much about drying the ground underneath as drying the hay. Often I have arrived to bale hay for customers and it's crisp on top but wet underneath. They have just gone through the motions, not thought about what they are trying to achieve. Modern tedding machinery doesn't really help. The old wuffler and turner was ideal for inverting the swath and moving the row across then the wuffler got some air in it. The right technique can double the speed of drying easily dried grasses but ryegrass just needs a lot of time anyway as its slow to release the moisture. With wrapping, the art of tedding has been lost. It doesn't matter if you are an any good at it or not other than being able to produce the correct sort of windrow for the baler. Many can't even do that, being unaware of how to set the tines and doors to give the baler man a chance of producing an even bale. [/QUOTE]
