Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
We demoed one a few years ago. I don't know how they would handle heavy hay since the idea was to use it on short alfalfa where rakes loose too much. But I would seriously doubt they could handle some of the 4 ton dry triticale I've put up, and I'm guessing you can yield better than that by quite a bit. That is so much material to move, it is going to be slow, slow going.

They would be better in rocks than say a wheel rake, but I wouldn't think much if any better than a hydraulic basket rake like a Twinstar or newer Allen---that is being ran by a competent operator who know how to lift it up to where it isn't running in the dirt, but just barely not leaving any hay. But you know rocks much better than me, I don't think what I consider rocky would rate much with you... ;)
