Best Grass Tedder to buy?

[Vernon]

Plans for tomorrow have changed many times, I think we should be ok, but dad will know more than me so I'll get him to give you a call in the morning. There's hay down everywhere and I don't know what will bale when, and then there's the hay I don't know people have cut! Thanks for the offer of using it though. I was very impressed with the swath you made with it for me baling the other day. Swath shape suits the round baler very well.

Its a dream to bale behind with the little baler too, not sure quite how stable it would be going round a roundabout flat out though

I've noticed exactly the same with our claas 770 today- missing bits between the rotors & also it's more rowing than spreading in thick crops 2-3rd time through? Also get hay wrapping around the top of the rotors where the bearing is.

Plus points for me is low transport height though!

Had it 3-4 years now & been no trouble to be fair over 160ac/yr - not very flat/ kind ground .

May have to look at lely aswell?

2nd and 3rd pass the material does sometimes look like it's rowing. It's an idea to work at a different angle to previous passes as this offsets the rowing effect sometimes.

We've got a Pöttinger HIT 47 N, very pleased and goes well over the ground. 4 rotor so can swap between Ploughmaster and the 35. Good build quality.

Drop the revs. In light hay you could be down to 400rpm

 

[tinsheet]

nother lely here, no complaints

 

[Grassman]

What's the part no.for these scrapers, fancy trying them on my Claas.Cheers

Sorry no part number sticker on mine now. The parts list book has it in I think

 

[dirty harry]

Pic attached but sorry no part no I can see? Cheers dh

would that fit a 52?
770 has a square profile tube between rotors like in that photo,whereas the 52 is round

Not sure. I would imagine class will have one to fit. Look in your parts book if you have one

Just looked again and it isn't near the tube. Is your gearbox square like in the photos?

 

[jpd]

no not square

 

[Grassman]

no not square

Sure there will be a part to fit. It is probably possible to manufacture one to fit or adapt.

The scrapers on the class Tedder only seem to work on the 1.5 meter rotors , don't really work on the 1.70meter rotors..

What's anyone's thoughts on the lely 600 Combi job. Primarily as a tedder.

Good.

Good as a tedder, it will also row up leaving nice fluffy windrows but will never rake the ground as cleanly as a Haybob or a proper modern rake.

You're supposed to drop the machine on the wheels to make it more horizontal for rowing up.

 

[Skimmer]

No complaints with our 7.6m Kvernland seems a better machine than the previous Krone l don't think there is much between any of them more to do with driver & set up.

Don't matter what you do with it, it won't row up cleanly. Myself, Lely dealer and Lely rep spent two hours trying to prove otherwise!

Meanwhile a Haybob on another tractor had rowed up the rest of the field as clean as a whistle ready for baling.

The 600 Combi is not a bad machine, but it will never ever rake as clean as a Haybob.
