Tedding Hay! Ford 2000 & 2 Basket Tedder

The video makes it look like the tedder is spinning backwards :) I felt ambitious and knocked down 20 acres of hay. Fluffing up and spreading out the fields that are mostly clover so they dry completely.

The Ol' Ford sounds pretty good. You've got that field looking like a shag carpet in a '70s living room. LOL. Keep up the good work there. ROCK ON FARMER PETE!!!!

Thanks Ron!

[@geraldosteen2357]

Yea. Loved those Fords 2, 3, & 5000 series growing up in the 70-80,s. Sure do not build them like that anymore. Nice vid. Thank you Farmer Pete.

[@farmerpete]

They were indeed good little tractors. Thanks!

[@HumbleHaymakers]

Ford sounds great. Tedder doing a nice job and the hay looks great. That’s a good tractor-Tedder combo…👍

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

[@farmerpete]

Thanks Chris! Much better crop than last year.

Greetings from South Central Ky Pete, the 2,000 is running great. The last three days here there has been a lot of hay hitting the ground finally some decent hay weather. Take care and stay safe Pete 👍

[@farmerpete]

Thank you! We had a brief hay making window. At this point it looks like at least a week before we get another one.

[@ClydeFuoss]

the old ford sounding good

[@farmerpete]

Thank you!

[@robertnaughton5577]

I love the landscape..were those hillsides clear and pastured at one time? I hope they don't grow in.

[@farmerpete]

Thanks! Yes, they were pastured and more open at one time.

[@pagrainfarmer]

The Ford 200 is sounding pretty good. Tedder seems to be working well, too. I'll be tedding hay in about 2 days. Got some timothy to knock down.

[@farmerpete]

Thanks Charley! Hope you're getting your hay up ok.

[@timmieclark9976]

You need an umbrella for the ford too.

[@farmerpete]

I think you might be right.

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Pete Looks & sounds good. How is it on fuel compared to H Thanks

[@farmerpete]

Hi Don! My impression is that it uses a bit more fuel than the H. Of course the H is pretty stingy on gas.

[@KevinPurdie]

Mr Pete
what did you use as a fuel line from the tank to the carb?

[@farmerpete]

If I remember right I used a piece of steel tubing I had on the shelf from the tank down to the sediment bowl. Probably no reason you couldn't use a rubber fuel line. I just happened to have some tubing.
