I went from a wheel rake to a bar rake. Wanted a rotary rake but was not an option within my budget. My wheel rake could be set up to fluff, but I never really used it like that because it only seemed to work in a light and wide windrow and it wasn't even very good. So I bought a tedder and used the wheel rake only for raking. I wasn't satisfied with it. Too much dirt in the haylage and too much ropemaking and big lumbs in heavy windrows. So I bought an old bar rake to replace it. It does a much better job. It has 2 PTO shafts. One for raking and another one with reversed rotation which makes it ted in stead of rake. I only tried to use it for tedding once but it seemed to work all right.
