Raking
Rake Adjustments and Maintenance
□
Your hay rake should be set to sweep the crop from the ground without the rake teeth touching the
soil. This requires careful daily attention to rake adjustment.
•
If rake teeth are set too low, dirt and/or dust will be raked into the hay. This increases the
“ash” content in your hay, which decreases the feed value numbers on your hay tests. This also
decreases the monetary value of your crop.
•
If rake teeth are set too high, you will leave valuable crop tonnage on the ground in the field.
□ Maintaining rake teeth and the rake in general, and careful daily adjustment, are worth the effort.
