I have about 5 acres that I let grow through the year for the wildflowers and deer.
When I brushhog it right before winter, it leaves a pretty good mess of the field with the cut grass.
It’s a chore picking it up with the baggers on the mowers and my landscape rake doesn’t work.
I’m thinking on getting a hay rake to windrow the grass and then scoop it up with bucket/grapple to dump in the dump trailer.
I know nothing about hay rakes and want to stay under 1k used price so two questions.
What kind of rake should I look for in the classifieds/auctions?
Would a pine straw rake may be a better choice?
Pulling it with a Kubota L3301 or a Ford 2000.
Thanks,
Lenny
