[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 6439466, member: 70166"] This seems to be the thread with all the haymaking experts so ill ask here. What speed do you ted at? I usually ted slowly the first time round not sure but guessing 4-4.5mph then go to 5-5.5 or even 6mph if its dry enough. Saw a post on FB about it and people on there were saying to go as fast as the tractor will go :confused: I used to help on a farm that went flat out tedding and they used to get a lot of wet lumps in grass and have to ted a lot more times to make hay than ive ever had to do to make hay. I went at my usual pace to do the first field for them before getting bollocked for going too slow. That field made a day before the others that had been tedded at speed. I alwayd found a first slower pass helps whats peoples thoughts? Can of worms maybe :bag: [/QUOTE]
