2) Rake(レイク) is a Japanese Singer-songwriter born in Sendai. He began an interest in music by playing an antique guitar at his family home, and in high school, was a member of a hard rock band. In university, Rake considered singing for the first time, and began steps to becoming a professional musician. (View full bio for more info)
3) Like a hot western wind blowing across the plains, Rake has become an unavoidable presence on the Canadian rock map. Climbing each step of popularity and critical acclaim carefully and quickly with superbly crafted songwriting and a high energy show, Rake has become the next big thing coming out of the West. Working with such talents as Chad Kroeger, Danny Craig, Joey Moi and Matt Martone, Rake has carved out a distinguishable and unforgettable sound in the rock radio genre as well a sizable following.

1) Rake was an art rock/noise rock musical ensemble from Northern Virginia (near Washington, DC), founded in 1989. Not aligned with the post-punk/hardcore bands more commonly associated with the local underground music scene, Rake took a more experimental route and were more closely aligned with fellow Virginia-based bands Pelt and Wingtip Sloat, throughout the 1990s, a relationship cemented via their principle label, VHF Records.
Band members Vinnie Van Go-Go (a.k.a. VVGG, a.k.a. OASTEM! Jim), Bill Kellum, and C-Man (Carl Moller) released their first record in 1989, a 7” 45 rpm single called "Cow Song" and the follow-up EP "Motorcycle Shoes" in 1990. The punkish leanings on these recordings were soon superseded by more experimental offerings such as the cassette "The Day I Remembered Seeing Ice" and the LP "Rake Is My Co-Pilot", the latter featuring a sidelong extemporization on the lead song from the "Motorcycle Shoes" EP. The band's early recordings featured (mostly shouted) vocals, but the band's later work was generally instrumental in nature. Although Rake's main instruments were electric guitar, bass and drums, they made liberal use of tape loops, synthesizers, static, and anything else they saw fit. The band's sound reached a highbrow, minimalistic/ambient peak on 1998 album Resume The Cosmos, which was released by Australian label Camera Obscura but their aesthetic is best summed up by their double CD release "The Art Ensemble Of Rake/The Tell-Tale Moog" which combined lengthy improvisations with found sounds, field recordings and harsh edits. The second disc was largely indexed at 60-second intervals, regardless of the musical content, although one 5-second section was simply a recording of a male voice saying, "Look out: rattlesnake!".
Often wilfully mysterious (to the point of providing misinformation, particularly through the OASTEM! website), Rake released a steady stream of vinyl singles, CDs, cassettes and later CDR's, mostly on VHF. However, they were never a touring act, only performing intermittently around the Virginia/ Maryland area. Although they never formally split and members of the band continue to work together, only archive material has been released during this decade.

2) Rake(レイク) is a Japanese Singer-songwriter born in Sendai. He began an interest in music by playing an antique guitar at his family home, and in high school, was a member of a hard rock band. In university, Rake considered singing for the first time, and began steps to becoming a professional musician.
Rake performed as the opening act to Japanese band Kimaguren's (キマグレン) 2009 tour "Kid in the Sky", and the following January debuted under Sony Music Japan, with the single "Fly Away." The song was used as the theme song for the Tokyo Metropolitan Television drama "Taxmen", and while few copies were sold, the song received such extremely heavy airplay across Japan that it topped Billboard's Japan Hot 100 chart for two weeks. Rake, after releasing his debut extended play "all I need is...", performed his first solo concert in July, followed by performances at summer festival Summer Sonic in August.
In 2011, Rake had his first hit single, "Hyakuman-kai no 'I Love You'," which was used in a television commercial campaign for Yokohama Tire. The song was successful on the RIAJ Digital Track Chart in its first week, debuting at number six. However, due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami occurring several days after the single's physical release in Rake's hometown, many promotional events for the song were cancelled. Rake was at his home in Sendai at the time of the earthquake.
In 2012, Rake released a double a-side single, "Subarashiki Sekai/Taisetsu na Hito" (素晴らしき世界/大切な人 - Wonderful World/Important Person), which "Subarashiki Sekai" was chosen as Uchuu Kyoudai's (Space Brothers) anime ending theme. In July, he released his second full album, "WONDERFUL WORLD" with 13 tracks. The album had a regular (CD Only) and a limited edition (CD+DVD).

3) Like a hot western wind blowing across the plains, Rake has become an unavoidable presence on the Canadian rock map. Climbing each step of popularity and critical acclaim carefully and quickly with superbly crafted songwriting and a high energy show, Rake has become the next big thing coming out of the West. Working with such talents as Chad Kroeger, Danny Craig, Joey Moi and Matt Martone, Rake has carved out a distinguishable and unforgettable sound in the rock radio genre as well a sizable following.
Now, with gigs most bands would kill for, opening for the likes of The Tragically Hip, Nickelback, Live and Default, Rake had come out on top with their 2005 release "From Darker Days", packed with fierce, inimitable songs ready to be heard by all of Canada and beyond. Such songs as "Without A Sound" and "A Perfect End" charted Jode Terry’s growth as a songwriter, as well as the emergence of Chris "Maz" Ryan as a vocal force.
In 2006, Rake was noteably the only indie band added to the Nickelback 2006 tour as it swept through Alberta. The amazing opportunity has risen the band to all new heights, and resulted in a huge increase of record sales and an ever increasing fan base.
With the success of the past year, Rake is heading into the studio for a follow up Record to include new fan favourites such as ‘Deteriorate’ and ‘Take Me Home’. Even before completion, the new year gains light with Rake’s known determination and promises of cross Canada airplay, high-profile support slots and a much awaited headline tour.

Turbo Diesel
FarmFencer : Practice. Every tractor and every rake has it's "happy place". Most hay rakes were not designed to travel very fast, especially the ground driven ones. Driving too fast with side delivery rakes will typically only get you poor/sloppy/messy windrows that are difficult to bale up. Driving too fast will also tear up and ruin your equipment quickly. Keep in mind, most smaller operations are using hay rakes that are 30 to 70 years old. Key word being, OLD. (Worn and tired.)
Raking tips 101:
1.) Don't drive too fast.
2.) Keep your machine well greased.
3.) The density of the crop's mowed windrow and the "rake" (the adjustment of amount of tilt of the tines/teeth) adjustment setting of your reel will also make your windrows roll/turn/fluff differently.
The reel's "rake" adjustment is the adjustment where the reel frame attaches to the main frame, often on a "ball-joint" type of connection. It may be a series of holes, or it could be slotted. Higher makes the reel tines more perpendicular to the ground, giving fluffier, wider windrows. Lower makes the reel tines more angular to the ground, making narrower, tighter and somewhat "ropey" windrows.
Since we bale small squares, we mostly run our reel's "rake" adjustment in the middle to lower setting, but every crop and area is somewhat different.
4.) Also, keep good tines on your reel. If there are a lot missing, your hay rake will perform poorly. Best to stick with all metal tines also. In my opinion, the modern rubber/metal ones suck, as the rubber tends to break down over time and they fall/break apart much quicker and easier than the all spring steel ones.
5.) Also, be sure to have your hay rake's reel set high enough so that it's not scraping/digging into the ground. It only needs to be low enough to pick the hay and fluff/roll it over, it doesn't need to get every last little bit of hay and scratch the ground. That's how you tear up your rake in short order.
6.) Always pull from the tractor's sliding or swinging drawbar located below the PTO shaft. Do NOT use a 3pt hitch drawbar to operate a hay rake. If you do, the fore and aft angles of the hitch are are intensified and will cause the rake to lift too high or worse yet, lower too low, and dig into the ground when traveling over rough or hilly terrain. A 3pt drawbar will also bind in the throat of the hay rake's tongue when turning sharply, leading to bending and distorting the hitch and/or framing of the rake, or worse.
Happy raking!

My grandpa had the exact same tractor and rake during the
60’s - 2009. Many a memories on his farm with that tractor. Thanks for sharing.

I love videos like this and I love the old Ford tractors. I own several 1970 models that my father bought new that have less then 1000 hours. I don’t even use them, I don’t have anything in todays operation they are good for. I farm now with Fendt tractors ranging from 180-300hp and make lg sq bales. Everything is modern, but the old stuff fascinates me more. Thanks for the video...truly great stuff!

This is the setup I used for most of my farming life, we had a new Idea rake, essentially the same. Started before I was 10 years old with a Ferguson tractor, then we got the 3000 ford with selectomatic transmission, Nothing sounds as sweet to my ear as the sound of a 3000 ford diesel, We baled with this same 3000 tractor or an old Farmall 350 until we got a row crop Ford 5000. This tractor was so much better for baling because I was above the dust and could see over the baler
Steve Rankel
Totally agree! We had someone do custom mowing for us on our acreage using an old pre-force 3000 Diesel... music to my ears.

On the small family farm I grew up, we never had anything this fancy. About 1959 is when Dad bought a used 1928 or so Farmall Regular. All our "stuff" was horsedrawn, mower, plow, etc, towed by that tractor. When we first made hay, I was barely able to help operate a dump rake, had to jam a big stick in the "hold down" pedal. Later we got a steel wheeled side delivery. Dad never owned a baler until around 70, when I was in the Navy.

Good sir, you did it the right way. My family has done farming since the 60s with a 1966 Massey Ferguson 175 and 135
Glenn Schuyler
Yes, I picked it up for $900
SouthernRailfanner1186
Glenn Schuyler your welcome. May I ask, what rake is that? New Holland 256?
Glenn Schuyler
Thank you
SouthernRailfanner1186
P.S. my dad bought the 175 in 1998. The property was rented, until my dad started farming
