Ron, I do try to at least learn from my mistakes but, at best, I am more 
careful than smart. I think I should put a note on the swather seat for 
next year. "Do Not Double Swath Flax!"
There are a lot of benefits to double swathing. It leaves a good big 
heavy swath that burns well and reduces the need for harrowing and 
piling. It also makes for half the travelled distance for the combine 
picking up 42 feet vs: 21. If my fields were straight and square with 
nothing but straight lines to follow , those two swaths would fit on the 
12 foot windrow pickup without a problem. Unfortunately that is not the 
case so I will be happy to just keep rolling on 21 feet.

Ralph in Sask.
