Wuffler?
14ft swaths shouldn't really need moved. Trying to dry out 35ft ones at moment which is interesting.

If you want to turn it over a single rotor rake would be best tool for job.

Used an old lister wuffler for years on straw central scotland so some years it was really wet simple and did a great job

Surely a standard tedder and just spread it? Can't say have ever tried to dry seriously wet straw, usually if ours gets a sprinkle we use our 2 rotor rake to "move" the row over
If they are 14 ft rows an old bamford woofler ,will do it , if you want one i have one you can have for an air ambulance donation ,
Or if you want a big rig ,one of these is superb , can just roll any size row over ,even when black wet underneath ,moves it on to fresh ground and can turn it upside down ,and good for rowing two small rows up ,or when wind blown and quick ,

Given the state of my crops a 14ft row would take very little to move it...

If your wanting to move and fluff it up and you already have a haybob then you have the best tool for it, just run 1 rotor down the row which will move the swath and fluff up at same time

A haybob will flip a swathe over if you catch it with only one rotor
As long as swathe is mot too big

Acrobat is best for the job, kind on the straw, and turns the wet to the top to dry,
however it needs a good driver to do a good job
