New toy day

Does a machine like this clean the ground as good as a normal rake? Whats the benefit of this type over the other type?
I had a similar smaller model and it worked great. Rotary rakes are very expensive in South Africa and tend not to last too long with the workers we employ. Mergers are not even available and have to be imported on your own risk etc. Also very very expensive. So ground driven rake it is. 9.4m at a time will make a decent wind row for the baler.

Does the crop have to be dry for it to work as in hay straw or haylage?
