OK,I've got a Gehl 318 8 wheel V-rake too. I didn't need it when there were kids around here to rake for me,but putting up 140 or so acres alone,it's the only way to go. I can rake in excess of 15 acres an hour in 9 foot cut swaths. Disadvantage to those,you can't turn corners with them,AT ALL. You have to cut so that you are raking straight back and forth. I think you said you had mostly level ground,even better. On real hilly ground you have to use the 3 point lever a lot to keep the back end or both sides down since they are so big. If you get one,size it for the haybine that you have if you're getting a 3pt like mine. I bought a 10 wheel at first. It was too wide for a 9 foot haybine. Luckily the neighbor had an 8 wheel just like it,same make and everything,but he has a 12 foot cut. Had the same problem but in reverse. Couldn't pull in all of both swaths.
