A B250? Is she light in the steering when you lift the tedder?

Surely if she was big enough to hold the front end down then she wouldn't need a double padded cushionI'm going to tell her that....on second thoughts....

She lifts/folds the tedder and steers fine. It is completely flat here, though, and I don't lift it much when it's in use anyway. I don't think I would drive it up the road though.
I have a set of front wheel weights from dad's 414 days, but have never got round to fitting them. The 250 gets a bit warm on first cut hay, but we tend to use the 434 on that.betweenthelines

I can remember using a trailed Fahr Centipede many years ago.
To take it on the road you would fold the two end rotors and wheels in behind. Image towing a supermarket trolley behind a MF 35 and you get some idea of what it was like.
But then, taking a Pheasant turner on the road was nearly as bad-just two small wheels in a line, expecting it to fall over any second!
But I had a neighbour who would take his acrobat on the road without putting it in the transport position!

We had an early Kuhn 4 rotor tedder, and it was yellow with fold out end rotors which had to be held in place by struts with r-clips through the ends. Mum managed to lose an r clip on her first try and smashed the whole thing up. I think the replacement was still called a Kuhn, but was an exact lookalike of the Fahr Centipede so I guess Kuhn built the better design under license or just put their own stickers on them.

A different classic earning his keep.
This is my French mechanic known universally as Moustache. I don’t know his real name. He did 30 years with JD, and is still padding out his retirement at 80 years old.

@Kevtherev has just made his pants tight seeing that

How do you get the correct fall?
Is easy on that drain we were putting in but there is a free floating sight on the boom You then put up some marker poles which have a bar on them then you move the boom to match. We were going up a hill there with a natural fall. We have actually accidentally run over the markers so have been looking into a receiver to use with the laser level.

Had this 7910 out for a run today, quite fitting for us to get to and from the church as we tied the knot.
