Crap i really didn't think your hay looked all that impressive until i watched it all fly out the ass of that thing... Alot more material their in that view verses comming out of the windrower... Now im anxious to watch it be raked up with that new sponsored rake... You keep showing their equipment off like that i may just have to go buy me one... The guy running that equipment dealership was pretty slick asking you to demonstrate their equipment... The publicity you have given their equipment is second to none... IMPRESSIVE is all i can say...
I'm only teasing you! The first 'shake out' is always the most power hungry and hardest on the tedder. It's always nice to go back through it a few days after the first shake and see how it has progressed in drying! How long do you leave it before going through again?
Elm custom harvesting I plant 112 down to 100 day rm. don't start till first week of May. I started, then stopped, then restarted, now stopped again. this is April weather we are now having.
i find it amazing that a farmer can make a living with all the equipment they have to have. the cost of the equipment, and the maintenance of it has got to be unreal
agri master and I totally agree! the hooked tine on them is what sets them apart from any other machine. And the tines themselves are extremely well built! I've been following a 2 year old kuhn ( 7801 I believe ( for the past week and its the greatest heap a shite! lumps the grass something shocking in heavy conditions and then when ya try to toss the lumps out it decides to self destruct and break up tines
Yep, it's been a frustrating year for hay in Washington state too. I've got a bunch of grass that's more than ready, but the ground won't dry out.. raining as I type. Best of luck!
I bought Farming simulator 17, because I thought it would be an entertaining way, as a suburban paint contractor, to see how farms and their equipment work. It's been a hoot. Also have two of the highest rated mods. A John Deere 8530 and a 7530 premium. 400 pieces of real world equipment models. 25 manufacturers. It's a ridiculous way to farm ; )
Thats doing a really neat job Wes! With wet, heavy crop, its spreadibg it out very evenly and not putting it into lumps. Great job. Nice looking machine, look forward to see more of it!!!
We bought one TT6101 2years ago Teds beautifully, problem is we can't keep transport tires on the bastard..... Hiway travel eats the tires.....Yes the Straight line locks are in place,
I know this was a demo from Pequea and you have a have a tedder and you don't often use a tedder, BUT if you are ever in the market for one to permanently buy, check out the Vermeer TE250. The hook tine design of the Vermeer units is really nice. We demo'd one at the Moultrie Ag Expo in Georgia a couple of years ago and were sold. We saw it ran right next to 3 others tedders (Kuhn, NH, and Kubota) and the height, inversion and spread equality of the Vermeer was easily evident during that demo. I've ran Deere/Kuhn tedders my whole life (we produce horse hay in South GA) and I was very impressed with the Vermeer unit. Just felt it worth mentioning. Keep up the good work Wes.
Pequea Tedder TT6101 looks very nice, and does the job amazing, hydrolics very fast, and Wes cutting a tree wow real lumber jack right Teresa 😲😲😲😲😂😛😜😛😂😛😜😛😜😂
OLF, If your harvest weather conditions change to those like in Ireland, you might try a McHale Fusion 3 with a built in wrapper or McHale 998(like George's) or Tanco 1814LA. With grass material like that and the weather forecast might be a good time to demo/ hire a 1814 wrapper or tube wrapper etc. (Yes, I have seen the vids where OLF states his dislike of bale wrappers) . Either that or turn an old barn into a hay dryer.
Hi Wes, I always wondered is there much of a difference between the European tractor tyre JD 7530 and the American tyre like what's in ur Jd 7410🤔. Best of luck with ur crops this year 👍
Hi ! will you also use a Pequeña rotary rake or will you still using the other rake, here in Europe everybody uses rotary rakes that tipe you use is like kind of old stuff, is here in America all the way round, is common that people use rotary rakes?, Thanks keep working i love your farm and your equipment! I'm from Spain and i also have a hay farm of 250 acres
Do you feel that the six basket does a good job spreading heavy windrows behind a 16' swather? The guys around me have gone to 8 baskets because they didn't like where the windrow hits on the six basket. Were getting lots of clumps.
I've only been able to get up 1/2 of my first cutting up. It's not gone 2 days without some kind of rain since two Friday's ago down here. Forecasts would look good then change by the hour. What ever those weather people are smoking maybe we should be growing that instead!
Hi Wes As I come from NZ your hay appears to be very coarse, is any of it used for stock feed ? As I live in the lower South Island we mainly make Baleage & Silage there are various NZ Contractors on You Tube you may care to take a look at as one of thr reasons I follow you and others on line as I find it interesting to see how other Farmers around the world do things. Have a good Day.
I don't know what your weather average is year on year,if I was in your situation it would be a no brainer to have mower conditioners instead of those swathers. We used to make 500 acres of hay in Wales and it is the wettest place in the UK. cutting with a mower conditioner gives you at least 1-1.5 extra drying days.
Your bailers wheels are small enough that they have a tough time in mud. Have you ever really considered putting a track system on them. If anyone could do it, it would be you.
I remember a video where you said something about not having use of a Tedder if you were using one you were losing money. Has something changed in your operation?
onelonleyfarmer no Wes I think its more likely you or one of your operators might get caught in it, you know the scene when you get out and leave the thing running just while you do something and all for tge sake of a clip,, I was custom farming as you call it and a bloke got snatched by one of those shafts because the clip was off, as luck had it he was only spun round the shaft once and there was someone in tge tractor who flicked the pto off but boy oh boy was his whole body damaged
Question, we were a small cattle operation, had an old gill fluffer/ tedder- looked more like the reels on a combine, and it would stand the grass up in the windrows...what is the advantage of the basket type over what I just described.. as we rolled 3 windrows into one (7 ft haybine) and rolled with a 4 ft round baler...and there weren't any extra trips...
Michael Owen the kind your talking about are a lot more gentle on the hay. They are better suited for alfalfa, they don't beat it to death. Downside to the reel type is they don't follow the contour of the ground nearly as well as this type. Unless the field is perfect , seems like your either digging in the ground with one side while the other side your not even picking all the hay up.
Overkill is under rated. Our New Holland tedder is claimed needing 30 hp minimum to operate and yesterday my cousin's 55 PTO hp New Holland tractor needed everything it had to run it through really heavy triticale hay. I see no problem using that tractor for that tedder. I'm sure it has a shear bolt or some sort of slip clutch protecting it if it were to get in a situation where something could break so that isn't an issue regardless of the tractor.
Could you safely use one of your smaller older tractors to use this Tedder or the rake I remember you saying in one of your videos that they were too small to do anything. But I don't see theses peaces of equipment use I got that much horse power or being to heavy to stop. Thanks
Mason Kubecka i use a 65 hp ford with 6 rotors in the lift, works great and i use the same tractor for a 30 feet rotary rake. i dont have problems and i dont see problems or any danger.
I have a question for you one lonely farmer? Why don't you mulch your hay. Maybe you can do a video on why. You may have done a video but maybe you can do a new video on why
well he does mulch hay so he doesn't worry about the quality of the grass since it's going to the mushroom barns. he worries about the dampness of the hay itself since the barns don't want too wet of hay.
I really enjoy your vids Wes. We a lot alike w zero filter and doing everything ourselves and just enjoy seeing a down to earth successful farmer. Keep it up hoss. 👍👍
Overkill is under rated. Our New Holland tedder is claimed needing 30 hp minimum to operate and yesterday my cousin's 55 PTO hp New Holland tractor needed everything it had to run it through really heavy triticale hay. I see no problem using that tractor for that tedder.
The Pequea TT6101 tedder has 26'6" working width. Hills and higher travel speed, will need more horsepower. You want to be able to cover the field at the best safe working speed, and move on to the next. A larger tractor will often be more comfortable for the operator.
Bubba Gump Diesel fuel is readily available, but there are only so many hours in the day. Especially when making dry hay for livestock, like I do, the quicker you work, the more acres you can dump down and get it baled and stored before it gets wet. In any case, you want it off the field, so the next cutting can come in, without windorws/bales laying on it..
This isn't a mower its a tedder. The mower cuts and conditions the hay [runs it through rollers to squeeze the liquid out of it or uses flails to force it up against a hood that removes the waxy coating on grass hay, both to help it dry faster] then will dump it on the ground in even windrows. In certain situations it is better for hay to be spread out to dry faster and the mower can't do that so to do so you use one of these tedders. A tedder has rotors with fingers on the ends that scoop the hay up and spread it out flat and even to make it dry faster.
Wes, look at it like this. I always figure on getting hay wet atleast once per year. You just knocked it out right out of the gate. That stuff happens. June 1 gotta get moving sooner than later. I haven't started either. Missouri weather isn't any better.
Last 10 years or so they have been getting popular over here. We use the tar out of ours I know that haha. It has saved so much hay for us its unreal. Whoever come up with the idea over there in Europe is one smart dude haha.
After I re-engineered a couple things it gets through what I have to do. I want to replace it but if the price of small squares stays in the crapper it's gonna have to do.
I here ya. we've been in the 50's for the last few days here in north central mn. supposed to warm up and no rain for a stretch they say. Got corn in sunday and hay is ready to cut. We will see cause every cloud that comes over seems to have moisture in it. Just a update from this region.
Love how it has large transport tires, and bigger tires under each spinner. Much better than our Kuhn. The tiny tires have ours bouncing all over the place at every little bump.
Sjors Nijsen smallest tractor he's got that could run it is the 4230 and that will play with it. if he had the 4010 running that would be a good one to put on it
madfarmer912 dave The M has only one set of hydraulics, and it will only go one way. but the 450 has three sets of two way, and would handle it just fine.
Thomas Smith he won't need hydraulics to run his old Kuhn tedder to do a comparison if it is a four basket model it'll be a manual fold he'll just need PTO
New Holland actually does make one that will do single rows, but what it basically comes down to is its not very good at doing either job as a result haha. Nothing beats a good wheel rake in my opinion.
I have driven the same tractor with 10.8 meter wide tedder with lower engine speed with 1000 pto enabled from the computer and you can lock it to 540 so the engine runs on 1100 rpm with werry low diesel combustion and at a steady speed of 5,5 mph. 3g /h in heavy damp gras/hay. that's whats nice with the ivt.
I don't think you can get hurt by the PTO shaft in the process of watching the video, so how about you maybe quit whining and worry about your own PTO guards? Sheesh some people.....
Crap i really didn't think your hay looked all that impressive until i watched it all fly out the ass of that thing... Alot more material their in that view verses comming out of the windrower... Now im anxious to watch it be raked up with that new sponsored rake... You keep showing their equipment off like that i may just have to go buy me one... The guy running that equipment dealership was pretty slick asking you to demonstrate their equipment... The publicity you have given their equipment is second to none... IMPRESSIVE is all i can say...
A bit more horsepower wouldn't be bad for that thing, RIGHT TIM?!?
Do you think you've got enough horsepower driving that Wes?
it takes more than you would think
I'm only teasing you! The first 'shake out' is always the most power hungry and hardest on the tedder. It's always nice to go back through it a few days after the first shake and see how it has progressed in drying! How long do you leave it before going through again?
remember its john deere HP, more like ponnies ;) (sarcasm)
Phantazm original New Holland has pony horsepower
ok. you've clearly never ever seen a tm190 in action.
It's annoying you? I still have 45 acres of corn to plant!
Elm custom harvesting I plant 112 down to 100 day rm. don't start till first week of May. I started, then stopped, then restarted, now stopped again. this is April weather we are now having.
i find it amazing that a farmer can make a living with all the equipment they have to have. the cost of the equipment, and the maintenance of it has got to be unreal
lely redders (industructable)i think they sell them in the USA a lot heavyer build plus they have patented special fingers,you should really try one
I have to agree the Lely will turn the hay better than anything else on bumpy ground
agri master and I totally agree! the hooked tine on them is what sets them apart from any other machine. And the tines themselves are extremely well built! I've been following a 2 year old kuhn ( 7801 I believe ( for the past week and its the greatest heap a shite! lumps the grass something shocking in heavy conditions and then when ya try to toss the lumps out it decides to self destruct and break up tines

Yep, it's been a frustrating year for hay in Washington state too. I've got a bunch of grass that's more than ready, but the ground won't dry out.. raining as I type. Best of luck!
Looks like you took some good old British weather home with you along with your nice new tractors 😂
Them 7530s are one sexy looking beast!!!!

nice tedder what was the tree cutting for
I just like the looks and stance of that Deere 7530 ENGWISH TRACTOR
OLF, If your harvest weather conditions change to those like in Ireland, you might try a McHale Fusion 3 with a built in wrapper or McHale 998(like George's) or Tanco 1814LA.

Our weather in Ontario is the same way. we haven't hardly turned a wheel had to exchange all the corn for 2600 hu
how could people actually thumb this down? Thanks for sharing Wes, I really have enjoyed watching your videos this winter/spring. Keep them coming!
Hi Wes
As I come from NZ your hay appears to be very coarse, is any of it used for stock feed ? As I live in the lower South Island we mainly make Baleage & Silage there are various NZ Contractors on You Tube you may care to take a look at as one of thr reasons I follow you and others on line as I find it interesting to see how other Farmers around the world do things.
Have a good Day.
I don't know what your weather average is year on year,if I was in your situation it would be a no brainer to have mower conditioners instead of those swathers.
We used to make 500 acres of hay in Wales and it is the wettest place in the UK.
cutting with a mower conditioner gives you at least 1-1.5 extra drying days.
same mechanism as the 57 retractable Ford top?wait till it's elderly like the yellow beast you were always welding & remanufactured
Your bailers wheels are small enough that they have a tough time in mud. Have you ever really considered putting a track system on them. If anyone could do it, it would be you.
Turn down your SCV speed and it would be less jerky when folding and unfolding
Been wet here too. Normally dry lawns are too wet to mow. Many of them are like submerged rice patties.
i think your ground would do a lot better with a good pass with a heavy cambridge roller wes, jus sayin"
whats the status on the 4960?
I remember a video where you said something about not having use of a Tedder if you were using one you were losing money. Has something changed in your operation?
tedding hay with a 7530... baller life lol
drivelinecover shouldnt be spinning! I have used one. by turning the wheels you can use it as a rake. try it!
Never seen one of them work . Looks like nice job .Too bad weather not co-operating
.
you need a bigger one :D
in austria we use most of the time 60-100 HP tractors for such a thing :D
the point is --it does what it says it will --winner hands down. go pequea
Indeed. They did tell Wes to give it a good hard usage. :)
Don't feel bad we've all got stuff on the ground because of the good weather that was suppose to be here the Tedder is impressive
Wes don't ever turn your back on a falling tree, take a few steps to the back and side and watch it fall
In your opinion sense you tedded the hay today when would you have baled it if you were to make it into small sqaures
whats with the tree cutting in the middle of the video? I like the video thanks.
That is thick - wow - see how much is drys out - not easy with it being partly sunny
And by the way Wes, will we see that Krone tractor mounted disc mower you wanted to get this season?
I see the material is heavy. Hopefully the rest of your hay will yield as much.
You should have yelled TIMBER
Ya got yer tedder bear with ya?.....D'OH!
please put the pto guard chain on before someone gets killed!!!!!!!
simon britcher so you think some hobo is going to wander into a pto shaft while I am working?
onelonleyfarmer honestly ive never trusted those pto sleeves and just keep clear if its running
Judging by how stupid some people are I can see it happening honestly.
onelonleyfarmer no Wes I think its more likely you or one of your operators might get caught in it, you know the scene when you get out and leave the thing running just while you do something and all for tge sake of a clip,, I was custom farming as you call it and a bloke got snatched by one of those shafts because the clip was off, as luck had it he was only spun round the shaft once and there was someone in tge tractor who flicked the pto off but boy oh boy was his whole body damaged
Wes. clip that pto gaurd chain onto the machine. its there for a reason.
Question, we were a small cattle operation, had an old gill fluffer/ tedder- looked more like the reels on a combine, and it would stand the grass up in the windrows...what is the advantage of the basket type over what I just described.. as we rolled 3 windrows into one (7 ft haybine) and rolled with a 4 ft round baler...and there weren't any extra trips...

how much RPM is the PTO turning?
Thanks for the video.
Looks real good Wes! Can I assume this hay is going to be for cattle?
Ever looked into Oxbo mergers?
Be careful there, don't make screws out of the shafts... it only requires 45 hp
Overkill is under rated. Our New Holland tedder is claimed needing 30 hp minimum to operate and yesterday my cousin's 55 PTO hp New Holland tractor needed everything it had to run it through really heavy triticale hay.

Mason Kubecka i use a 65 hp ford with 6 rotors in the lift, works great and i use the same tractor for a 30 feet rotary rake. i dont have problems and i dont see problems or any danger.
Really nice but 15k is a little bit much
nice tedder shame about the tractor
over kill lol! that's a big tractor to pull that.
Looks a great machine, just wondering if it possible to lift the rotors up if you wanted to do the headlands last
Filgan 17 you can tilt the rotor sure the baskets back and then it won't hardly touch them but you'll still get some stirring motion of it
I have a question for you one lonely farmer? Why don't you mulch your hay. Maybe you can do a video on why. You may have done a video but maybe you can do a new video on why
well he does mulch hay so he doesn't worry about the quality of the grass since it's going to the mushroom barns. he worries about the dampness of the hay itself since the barns don't want too wet of hay.
Damn i really like that 7530!
love the video keep up the good work
I really enjoy your vids Wes. We a lot alike w zero filter and doing everything ourselves and just enjoy seeing a down to earth successful farmer. Keep it up hoss. 👍👍
Pequea website says 45 pto horsepower
Bradley Korth Hahahaha
Bradley Korth I use a 36 feet Kuhn tedder with a 60hp tractor . Works great . Don't go faster than 4mph by the first pass or you will have clumps .
Overkill is under rated. Our New Holland tedder is claimed needing 30 hp minimum to operate and yesterday my cousin's 55 PTO hp New Holland tractor needed everything it had to run it through really heavy triticale hay. I see no problem using that tractor for that tedder.

thanks for the video wes
tedder before the mower gets done
Great Job Wes ! I'm liking the 75 as well.You need to buy more of our tractors lol
Love it....
did it stop raining yet
I only noticed u have 3 mowers I taut u only had the 2 fine job
This isn't a mower its a tedder. The mower cuts and conditions the hay [runs it through rollers to squeeze the liquid out of it or uses flails to force it up against a hood that removes the waxy coating on grass hay, both to help it dry faster] then will dump it on the ground in even windrows.

Wes, look at it like this. I always figure on getting hay wet atleast once per year. You just knocked it out right out of the gate. That stuff happens. June 1 gotta get moving sooner than later. I haven't started either. Missouri weather isn't any better.
tedder system is more European system when grew up I did lot times at dairy farm
Last 10 years or so they have been getting popular over here. We use the tar out of ours I know that haha. It has saved so much hay for us its unreal. Whoever come up with the idea over there in Europe is one smart dude haha.
On it like a car bonnet
I walked past that Morra Tedder I got from you. I showed it the grass you were tedding and it broke just sitting there. 😂
Timmy Cornpicker lol good one... You made me laugh anyway...
Timmy Cornpicker that's why I got rid of it lol
onelonleyfarmer yeah, what a pal. lol
After I re-engineered a couple things it gets through what I have to do. I want to replace it but if the price of small squares stays in the crapper it's gonna have to do.
Great video Wes
should have waited 1 more week before you cut the hay?..
Gary Rivard agreed
I here ya. we've been in the 50's for the last few days here in north central mn. supposed to warm up and no rain for a stretch they say. Got corn in sunday and hay is ready to cut. We will see cause every cloud that comes over seems to have moisture in it. Just a update from this region.
Great video Wes! I hope you do well for your self and family this year! And maybe have enough left over to get some new toys. Anyways cheers mate.
nice machine 👍
Love how it has large transport tires, and bigger tires under each spinner. Much better than our Kuhn. The tiny tires have ours bouncing all over the place at every little bump.
NICE Tedder
I understand that aggravation when it comes to weather changing for the worse when you got hay on the ground. Best of luck Wes!
I like it!
That's a pretty wide tedder. How fast can you go through the field while operating it?
Great video Wes, thanks , im not a farmer but enjoy watching you an your son work on farm.
TT6101 has shield issue. drive shield has no attachment to tedder frame
wes look on the brightside... that hay aint going anywhere and the second crop os gonna have a great start with all that moisture
run it with a tractor with less HP i wanna see how it works out
Sjors Nijsen smallest tractor he's got that could run it is the 4230 and that will play with it. if he had the 4010 running that would be a good one to put on it
Interesting to see how the whole hay process is done on the big farms. Is that fescue hay?
Good video just found you and your videos two days ago they are really enjoyable.
Protect that shaft!!
Nice tedder though
are we gonna get to see the JD 60 or grandpa's farmall doing PTO work on the Kuhn tedder
madfarmer912 dave The M has only one set of hydraulics, and it will only go one way. but the 450 has three sets of two way, and would handle it just fine.
Thomas Smith he won't need hydraulics to run his old Kuhn tedder to do a comparison if it is a four basket model it'll be a manual fold he'll just need PTO
madfarmer912 dave I didn't know that, then I agree, he should try using the M or the 60.
you must be watching logger wade the way that tree went down Wes. lol
Weather, the farmers friend and enemy. May we see more of the timber bit? 🙂🙂
Ok, question- a Tedder and a rake are different right? Why can't they make a combined rake and tedder? Maybe they do. I'm not a farmer.
Daniel Sweeney they have made them but usually they only do one job good and not the other
Daniel Sweeney teder is used to spread and flip the hay for drying and the rake is used to rake and it would not dry out if it is the same macine
Daniel Sweeney the compromise isn't real good
New Holland actually does make one that will do single rows, but what it basically comes down to is its not very good at doing either job as a result haha. Nothing beats a good wheel rake in my opinion.
Thanks I knew people would have the answer.
how much engine rpm are you running at Wes?
mats oftedal 1600
I have driven the same tractor with 10.8 meter wide tedder with lower engine speed with 1000 pto enabled from the computer and you can lock it to 540 so the engine runs on 1100 rpm with werry low diesel combustion and at a steady speed of 5,5 mph. 3g /h in heavy damp gras/hay. that's whats nice with the ivt.
I'm not a safety nazi Would u not just put a chain on that pto cover it is such s small thing to do that takes out all the danger out of the pto
Agri farming Ireland my son hooked it up and was a little lazy.
Ha that say a lot about Tim if he went to the effort off putting on the pto nd saw the chain as too much work to clip on 🤔😂
Was there no chain on that PTO guard?
Joe Barton beat me to it!
who cares
Adam Budai
A chain, or an unsecured guard spinning at 540 rpm will remove bits of you quite quickly. Check chains are there for a reason.
In addition, a spinning guard or chain is likely to wrap grass and cause premature wear
don't get near it!
Attach the chains on the pto shaft !!
