[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 6393720, member: 1951"] When we used to make a lot of hay 2-300 acres it was never allowed to be on the ground for long before the next movement 3-4 times a day often. Always tried to row it at night and letting the ground dry out was as important as the hay. The problem we had in the 60-70s was the tedders could not separate too big a row so at the most it would only go into a ten foot row. Most of the time, we would retain it in in the 5 feet swaths left by the cutterbar mower and moved to fresh land using a Bamford siderake in twin rows then using twin row cock pheasant style machines to fluff it up. Rowing up for baling was normally done by putting two swaths togather with the tedder as it generated a far better swath for the baler [/QUOTE]
