V Rake

[flying belgian]

I do some small sq baling for a lady. Its a 4 acre triangle of grass. Its really nice clean hay and produces well. She has a couple horses which is beside the point. She has her neighbor mow and rake it. He rakes with a Vermeer V rake. I've never seen such a terrible job of raking in my life. All big bunches and skips. Is that because it is a small odd shaped field? or is he just a poor operator? Or is that the nature of V rakes?

First of all, how bad was it mowed, but triangles are hard to rake.

Mowing is always done well.

Real art to take properly. I tried it once and that's is all I'm saying about that.

Sounds like it is bunching and dragging from a lot of sharp turning.
