Kuhn stuff is definitely strong, as for lifting up at the headlands, each to their own but we never lift it up at the headlands, albeit ours will pivot so no stress, talking about America, the three point hitch over there is not as popular with that as UK, drawbar is king over there, you can buy either a hydraulic lift or manual depending on how deep your pockets are, good luck with your tedder 👍
Depends on the crop and the stage of drying it's at imo. If your rowing up for silage and the crop is heavy not lifting on the headlands can leave your final swarth lumpy. If the crop is very dry running over the headlands multiple times can break the grass up to where the baler won't pick it up from the ground. Bit of trial and error and you'll see what works best for you :)
Before I retired I was a agricultural contractor for 50 years end of the road you pick it up same as you would the mower I'm rolling up if you just turned with it on the ground you're stressing it
On the haybob there was a free float position that allows you to turn In one direction with the wheels on the ground but the other direction you had to lift the machine to turn
And on some machines the wheels can pivot. On this machine they are fixed and with this tractor i turn sharp and come back the next row rather than doing it in flats. Therefore, I think lifting is probably better for me.
@@oldschoolfarmer7610 yes I agree with you if wheels are fixed you lift it at end of row if they swivel it doesn't matter so much, yeah you do your row's the same way as I did. Love your videos 👍

Thanks for your comment. Interesting, I didn't know that about the US. I agree with your opinion on Kuhn though.

Thanks, that's what I thought was best.
I never lift it up.More wear and tear on the machine.i try to travel in a different spot on the headland every time.
