Subject: wheeled hay rake question for 3 windrows


Kansas
My swather is a massey 16'. With auto steer I probably average 15' swaths. I currently have a 16 wheel rake that works good on 2 windrows. (Used to have an 18' swather) I would like to put 3 windrows together to bale faster. Would an 18 wheel rake work or does it need to be a 20 wheel? Some rakes I see have kicker wheels that only move the hay one direction. Doesn't that make your windrow heavy on one side? Some rakes I see have a kicker wheel going each direction keeping the windrow even. Which is better? Also which is better small kicker wheels or the larger normal sized ones? I'm just looking for others opinions or experiences. Thanks,
