I have/use/have used both. My impression of the wheel is that it's for light duty. I don't have the large ones with the big frame and tires and all to help hold it on the ground but on heavy stuff they either hop over the hay or the blades bend back. Then, if it is dry, possibly stemmy, but windy, the wind usually glues the hay to the wheels and just makes a big mess rather than rake it into a windrow.
