One on rake and one on baler is how we do it. I tend to run three rounds on the field perimeter and then straight runs back and forth across the field. Don't have to cross windrows and can move on to the next field. I feel your pain on catching the hose, been there done that. Deere's we run you lift the hitch arms up and they miss the tongue of the rake. Kuboto not so much. Have to drop them, cut a hose by pinching it making a turn first time we hooked up with it. It does hang too low in the back when you fold it in and raise the front to cut across windrows unless you want to clean it up later with the baler.
