Sunnyside, WA | Jay,
Just got done raking sudax with our Fella twin rotor this morning. Had an old used and abused NH 216 and it couldn't handle the tall grass we chop. This sudax was 6-8' tall throughout most of the field and I was raking 8.5 mph with the Fella. If it was too wet on the bottom, I'd slow down but I like it better than any other type of rake for grass. It makes a very nice, high, open windrow that dries well. No roping. Not sure what you will think of it in alfalfa. We run either a JD 6420 or 5225 and either will handle it fine.
One of the biggest down sides to it is greasing. LOTS of grease zerks. Not so sure about the longevity of the rake either, but its the only way to move the triticale and grass.
Fella is sold by the NH dealer in your area. If your interested, I would also look at Krone (JRJ sells them). I tried a 23 or 24' rake and you really need a 27' behind a 15'+ cutter. Kuhn gets expensive when you go that wide. Krone looks like a well built machine.
