We tried to pick two days without rain, mow in the afternoon, rake, and bale the next afternoon if it was dry. We started pulling a crimper behind the mower, that crushed the stalks and speeded up the drying process. Like Allen said, sometimes we'd have to flip the windrow with the end of the rake to dry the underside. We used a J.D. 14T with a kicker; kicked those little bales into wagons, dumped 'em in an elevator to the hay mow, let 'em tumble in. Didn't hold as much as tightly stacked 90 pounders, but was alot easier and dried better.
