Who knew it could be fun...

The folks that mower our fields since we stopped left a bunch of hay on the ground due to the wet, soft ground (it's been raining in Maine every other day, no kidding). Well where the big equipment ruts, my BN just rolls across with out making a mark, and it would be a shame to let that hay go to waste, so I broke out the tedder and the rake.

I have to say it was quite fun, as crazy as that sounds.

I don't have the bailer anymore, so the tractor work ended after the tedding and raking, but that was good enough.

The rake looks so big behind the BN, kind of a of bear in tight spaces but that's just a learning curve.

Now I just need a sickle bar mower so I can put up the small field!

Here's another pic with out the BN.

It works really well as a rake. It's a bit slow, but thats just fine since you want to take it easy when pulling it (no such thing as replacement parts, we do have a parts machine which has come in handy). The tedder leaves a lot to be desired, that's why my grandfather bought the Kuhn.
