Welsh haymaking

Nice, thanks!

That rake seems a little odd to me, it has only partial sections of teeth? Don't quite understand the concept of that design?

Dad preferred mules to horses. He still had two of them when I was a little kid; a red one and a white one named Pete. He kept his team of Percherons until we built a new barn in 1950 and he discovered that the ceiling in the barn was too low for the horses to walk under. Took the horses to the auction and sold them. We had tractors then to replace the horses.
 
Thanks WIZZO, I see the rake bars are missing in the middle because it is set up for swath turning.
I might be wrong but I think it is a Blackstone CMA machine like my Uncle had in the 1950s. Great
picture, make a good jigsaw puzzle. MJ
 
Im wondering if it is designed, raking from right to left to move hay to the center and leave a windrow and then take from just off center out to the left to make another windrow. Would be easier on your "power source" and would be less travel for the hay.
 
My grandpa told me once he borrowed a mule from a neighbor. The neighbor told him when 6:00 comes you better be near him as he comes home to eat. Grandpa said sure enough, at 6:00 the mule headed home.
