    Would like to see the baler that goes along with rake.

    The rake is a smaller version of the Madds Amby design I had many yrs ago. They work great and no roping of the hay which is especially important with crops like Alfalfa and Clover.
    Practice makes perfect: After many decade of hard work and practice, it now takes almost no effort to get tired.

    Edster,

    And here I could see you pushing the rake around your fields to gather up your hay crop.

    Later

    Yea you could. With a machine that small you would be looking at personal use only in my opinion. Even if you did sell some, how many people do you know of that are willing to mess with a bulky 60 pound round bale. They are just not "USER FRIENDLY".
