Looking at upgrading a old rake. I have used a Kuhn friends have but wondered about others, I see some Enrossi and Bush Hog cheaper that Kuhn. Their wheels are independent. Any thoughts?

I have a Kuhn SR108 and a Frontier (Pequea) WR1312. Both are good rakes, with all independent wheels and adjustable front width/rear windrow width. Be sure to get a high clearance rake. The older v-rakes with small tires and low frames are terrible in thick hay. In thin hay, having separate adjustment for front width and windrow width is a must for keeping hay in the center of the windrow.
