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
