Not quite as old as dirt, but **** near close! 
It is 3-point mounted. We use a NH rake that is very similar except TSC'c prices on the teeth are much cheaper for this rake so it sees most of the use. My partner uses a Ford tractor so most of his implements gets painted blue over time...one of these days when I have some MF red in the gun I'll get it looking good again...

Frogive my ignorance, but why does everyone drop the bales on the ground?
Good Afternoon Duffster,
Darn good question ! I just helped the local farmer bring 800 small squares last week and after loading and unloading all those bales my 58 yr old back tells me a kicker and haywagon would be a better deal !

Nice rake.
Mine is a JD350, also 3pt mounted. Got it last year for $800. Came with new teeth all round. Works fine.

When I have people that want to buy hay I ask them how many bales they want... Then I will leave that many laying on the ground, and they will bring their trucks & trailers & load it themselves...A lot of people do it that way, and you can get hay cheaper if you load it out of the field yourself.
If I have hay already put up in my barns and someone wants to buy hay, then I charge more because I loaded it out of the field myself and stacked it in the barn.

$800 is a great price.

We have yet to cut any, and I only know of a couple folks who have done some. We haven't had 3 days w/o precip. for over 50 days now. The fields are so wet even if we get a 3 day window we can't cut. Price is going up every day for what hay there is around here.
