I have an older Kuhn with 2 rotors that rakes about 10 feet wide. It works great and makes a big fluffy windrow that dries fast. BUT it is awful to fix. Get a single rotor one like in the pictures on this post, less moving parts to wear out. If you are buying used check the wear inside the gearbox that controls the arms. Each arm has a roller bearing inside that runs in a track that looks like a little roller coaster to make the arms pivot so they drop the hay. Mine wore through soon after I bought it, guy that traded it knew what he was doing. I spent about $800 on parts and 30 hours work to fix it. Rakes hay nice though, you can go up to about 12 -14 miles an hour if your fields are smooth enough. One other word of caution, on hilly ground and oddly shaped fields they don't follow the ground nicely, a bar rake does a better job then.
