Whats the pros and cons with a wheel rake? I've been thinking of buying one and wanted your input. I've always used a side delivery rake but its getting worn out and doesn't do too good in one of my fields that is a grass mix with no alfalfa.
Can you up the speed a bit with a wheel rake? Leaf shatter? Hilly ground? Sharp corners? Dirt in windrow? Does it pick up all the hay really good? My side delivery rake will leave a bit of hay in a thin crop (not missing any teeth). What wheel rake would be best with a 9 foot cut haybine? I want to rake 2 windrows into 1 with one pass, takes 2 passes with my side delivery. How many wheel rake for that 9' cut? Also it must be a trailer type, don't want a 3-point set-up.
Thank you
