[QUOTE="hayray, post: 808173, member: 3046"] I did the same thing you are doing about 16 years ago buying a Gehl 8 wheel V-rake. They have made alot of improvements on them since then. The cheap style like I have has a straight frame assembly paraelle to the ground that the wheels are mounted to and passes the hay underneath the frame after it leaves the wheels, sometimes this can cause bunching problems with hay getting lodged between the frame and the ground. Some newer rakes have a high clearence frame that goosenecks upward inbetween the wheels to prevent this problem, I have seen this on the Khuns. Frontier rakes look just like mine. Eventhough, I still would never go back to the New Holland Rollerbar, my V-rake has been very low maintenance and a huge time saver. The large V-rakes that the commercial producers use have the wheels set to the inside of the frame and the hay never passes between the frame and the ground but you are looking at a whole another price catagory, a friend of mine has a 22 wheel Rowse that is around $25,000.
