I'm not up on the model numbers, but I have a 10 wheel Vermeer V rake, like it fine. I haven't noticed dirt in the hay, but it rakes up everything that is cut or lying in the fiels, saw timber excepted. It will not rake well when making sharp turns. The wheels are going too straight in relation to the dirction of of the turn and will make only small windrows. What I have done in rectangular fields is to rake straight across, make a sharp turn and go back alongside the previous windrow. When finished, make a couple of runs around the field to take care of the hay missed while turning.
My biggest complaint with the 10 wheel is that it dosen't fold up into a narrow transport width. Also, unless you adjust the the wheels to make a wider than useful windrow the rear wheels drag the ground when in transport position. I understand the 8 wheel dosen't have that problem.
It does a good job of floating over uneven ground.
