Rotary Rake - Kuhn, Krone, or Pequea? Decisions, decisions...

Hello All,

 

We're buying a rotary rake this year and probably trading in our wheel wake.  Two reasons for this:  Our new weather patterns in mid to late June for the past 4 years has been at least 29 days of straight rain and the wheel rake just bunches up on 6 foot tall grass.  The other reason is we're grazing all of our hay ground in the late summer now, and I'd like to mow at 4 to 6 inches high.  Our NH Procart can't rake at that height.  Just tears the uncut grass off at that ground.

 

So, I'm looking at the Kuhn 4221, the Pequea HR1140, and the Krone 46t.  Pequea are cheaper, by about $1400 depending on the dealer.   Are they decent?  I heard they were awful, from a former dealer, 5 years ago but I wonder if they have improved.

 

Appreciate the help.
