[AT] [External] Caution: antique tractor usage

[Gene Dotson]

    I like my dolly wheels on my rake. It is much easier to hook to the 
tractor. It also makes it possible to make 180 degree turn-a-rounds when 
raking double windrows while keeping the rake away from the tires.

                    Gene

Why do you prefer a dolly wheel? Not many around here had one.
