V rake on peas

[Ronski]

I went to pick up the neighbors v-rake and saw a weld broken and the frame starting to stretch, figured there was a real good change I'd spend the day welding instead of combining anyways after I pulled it apart so I struggled through the last piece with my rigid header. FML. I could almost get to 2.0 mph cutting one way. I'm going to grow them again next year though. On a 26 acre piece that I left 14" stubble on and will inter row seed (but no more 150 acre learning experiences). This year doing several things wrong they went 55 bushels, I think they beat loosing money on feed barley but I won't know for sure till next fall when I see if I get a yield response.

Thanks (and sorry I don't have a successful raking story to share)
