Main difference between the 56 and the 256 is age and some of the framing on the 256 is stamped steel. Bar rakes give more of a twisting action than wheel rakes, plus as you said, pick up less dirt. Dolly wheels are almost essential around here. They allow for shorter turns and provide pivot and flotation which keeps the rake raking the contour of the ground instead of twisting and wrenching the hitch as the tractor front end goes up and down. I fabricated both a dolly wheel and tandem rake hitch last year on a NH 56 which I use to pull a 256. Cost was under $200 total for both. Regards,
David
