What wheel rake fits my equipment

Hi all, wanna get some input on what rake will fit me based on the following:

Using a 9ft 411 disc bine
Using a 504 vermeer baler, no gathering wheels

What rake will allow me to pull in 2 windows into a 4ft max windrow, and under the necessary conditions, just flip each windrow 180 degrees to get the green hay on bottom to the top for both windrows? Right now using a 5 bar rake and would really like to cut 2 passes into one with same results.
 
8 wheel V type. A 10 wheel is too wide for a 9 foot cut. I tried one,went to an 8,it works perfect.
 
A wheel rake that opens like the high capacity ones can vary in raking widths, I accurately recommend a larger then needed so don't have to open it as far and it does a better job of picking up the hay.
 
What Randy says. Used one like that for years on our farm, most can be adjusted wider, depending on the cut of your hay bine. Their only disadvantage is they tend to rake small stones into the swath if set aggressively, which a harvester can pick up, no harm to it other than faster dulling of the knives. Ben
 
I said one like them as in they open like it, I bought my 520 Gehl for 1600, and have seen some of the H&S rakes sell for a decent amount! Plus if ever looking for a bigger cutter already have the bigger rake.
 
I've got a Gehl 318. I had a 320 for a short time. I had it set in so it would work,but with it in,it wouldn't fold for transport worth a darned.
 
Wheel rakes come in different styles, mine is a cart style, and will merge two 12 foot cut rows, or will put three 9foot rows into one, dumping the two outside rows on the middle one. This take is a Kuhn

I think rrlund is about right. I have a 10 ft. mower and I have a 10 wheel rake and it is a good fit. I also have a 4 ft wide baler, Vermeer 604L.
