Blame the man not the kit.

Blame the man not the kit.

If you think a gaybob makes a better job than a Tedder then you’re deluded

 

[Werzle]

A good man on a haybob is better than a bad one on a tedder. Tedders chaff the grass up and leave it flat like lawn clippings . A haybob being used correctly is a lovely sight. Plenty of clowns breaking headstocks and losing multiple tines while bobbing the back swathe clockwise etc that never learnt to use them correctly

Have you got a Tedder?

Got both and would love to go back to using a cabless tractor with the trusty haybob but time doesnt allow it much anymore

Aye we are a dying breed, boys now with the back window shut, radio on full bore hardly looking back or getting out to check they are doing the job right. Most wouldnt know they had snapped it in half until they met it in the next bout.

The dust you see when a field is been turned to hard is all the blade being smashed out of the crop.

Is there best times to turn? And times of day not to turn?

When it’s sunny

A craftsman tedds in the opposite direction to the mower and has the tedder/haybob angle and speed set to do the perfect job imo, the drier it gets the faster you can go with less aggressive angle

Hottest part of the day. No point turning before the dews lifted or when its coming down

I think there's a thread on here , by me , bought a haybob in a rush after an accident with my lely , couldn't work it out but got the job done .... then sold it .
