David Brown 880 tractor using a vintage hay tedder (demonstrated with straw)

Extract from Mad About Vintage Tractors 2. If you are as Mad about Vintage Tractors as Robbie Thorpe, you don’t want to just look at them, you want to work them. For that you need implements, ideally ones of the same age as the tractors. Robbie has been collecting those for nearly as long as he has tractors, and in this DVD we take a look at some of the kit in his collection, and some ‘new’ old machines as he discovers them and puts them to work.

Never seen a front mounted version of the Acrobat before! Great idea!

[@foseninfo8954]

It is not an acrobat, one can tell from the tines and springs.

Thats a turner! We had one on the back of our 770 back in the day, loads quicker than having it on the front 👌🏼

Seems like the windrow it forms is right where the tractor wheels run !

[@nickthomas8400]

damn slow used to bomb around the field with the rear mounted

[@grahamsmith8543]

It's not technically a tedder, just a turner.

I have an 880 ....

Definitely not a tedder if the crop was heavy it took ages rolling it over and over before it was fully dry especially around the hedge backs
