well. How long dose it take for your hay to dry out? I live In Missouri and on a regular day I can cut hay and in 24 hours be baling. On hot windy days i can cut and bale in 10hrs but that is when the temp is 100 and up. i am just cut fescue and red clover.
Well, if you can cut and bale inside 24hrs without a tedder, then maybe you can do without it. In NC, I cant imagine bailing inside 24hrs unless its haylage. Here it takes days to dry sufficiently without a tedder.
The drying time depends on a lot of things but we prefer to let it dry at least a day or two. The tedder helps a lot with the drying - especially if you are up against the weather.
Now i am on the border line of buying me a tedder. dose it make a difference? i dont want to spend the money in to one with fuel unless it helps. so can anyone help?
Yes tedders do make a difference in the time it takes for drying. Esp if the weather window is small. I wouldn't bale hay without a tedder. My personal recommendation is Kuhn or Krone. A bit pricey compared to some, but really tough and well built. I use a Khun model GF 7802 THA
I was running a hay tedder for a week this summer in July in a thirty acre field on a 6610 Ford tractor. I also did a tuch of raking the hay with a 5203 John Deere.
