With mine if the hay is weedy or has something tall like Johnson grass it balls up bad. I keep the hay clean and don't let it get real tall and it works great.herofan":2k9sqvh5 said:Atimm693":2k9sqvh5 said:If you are routinely raking a lot of heavy windrows with it, it may plug now and then, but again, I think that's a problem with all V rakes.
I was curious if that was typical. I don't own a v rake, but I was considering getting one. I used a neighbor's rake this year in thick hay, and it was the most aggivating thing ever with it piling up. It was an older one, but I was wondering if this was more typical of certain brands.

Raked these a couple weeks ago. This about the limit of what the Vermeer will handle without plugging up. It's Johnson grass and fescue BTW.

What kind of tractor is that? Gauge cluster reminds me of my father in law's McCormick.
I've got an older Vermeer with the framework behind the wheels, uses two hydraulic circuits - one for adjusting width and one for raising the wheels. I've never plugged that thing, even in 10' tall sudangrass.

I just run a full spiral all the way around the field.. easier on the rake, the baler, etc. never balls up.

For curiosity's sake, where do you call home?

I'm not sure I follow. I rake my outside rounds (6 swaths) and bale them. Then when I rake I lift up at the end of the row, skip two swaths, and start back the other way.

Interested in response also. A neighbor bought one last year and I looked at some of the hay baled, it looked good, but have not ask him how he likes it yet.cfpinz":3vnmdovh said:brw":3vnmdovh said:I bought the Vermeer VR 1022...I have a very good dealer here, bought a 504R signature baler last year it is great.
Have you baled any high moisture hay with the 504R? Any complaints about the baler so far?
Thanks.
