[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1637748, member: 25884"] We bought equipment from a friend who has since passed from cancer. Got a 7 on a side wheel rake; total 14..... yes it is long. It has hydraulics and can open out far enough to actually catch 3 windrows.... like late lighter 3rd cutting or sparse hay. Great for cutting number of trips across the field. Not only opens out to whatever width you want, but is also lifts up and down quickly and easily. The wheels are all independently mounted. I want one that has 5 to a side (10 wheels total) but I want it to be able to open and close width to accommodate the hilly terrain we have so that I can open it farther on a side hill and not have to worry so much about the tractor position with the rake wanting to creep down hill. The wheels all pick straight up so you can pick up, go out and turn and come back and not have to wait for the arm to lay back down, the wheels just drop straight down. I love this rake, even with the length.... although I use the old side delivery rake on the Farmall H in the small irregular fields to maneuver easier. No hydraulics, ground driven... but it only gets one windrow at a time so alot of trips over the fields. I think this wheel rake is an S &W or an H & S or something.... high capacity on the side. Would never have bought it on our own, but it was part of the equipment package when we bought all his equipment.... and I wouldn't trade it for anything. [/QUOTE]
