We mowed with a 12' machine for 20+ years, and it leaves a 10' wide swath. You always had to run at least one set of wheels on the hay no matter what, usually two.
Then when you blow it out with the tedder, there's no place to run your wheels without running over the hay.

Unless you invent a practical hovertractor, you're pretty much going to have to run on the hay at some point.
The only way to avoid running on the hay is to mow with a 7' machine, don't use a tedder, don't have a dolly wheel on the front of your rake, and use a wide front.
