Yep, that H&S tedder & 395 make for a good combination. Looks like you had the tedder setup just about right, tines just almost touching the ground. The tedder is spreading the hay out nicely, making the field look like a room with shag carpet. Looks like some really nice hay, I hope you're able to get it baled up before any rains hit. Thanks for the ride along. Stay safe.
This is my warm up field for the year. I have 6 more yet, I think this is the smallest so I’ve got a long way to go. Still haven’t had the weather to cut anymore
Looks like the tedder works great! We just bought a 4 rotor H&S tedder (19ft) model but haven't gotten to use it yet. Cant wait to try it out, hopefully next week if the weather straightens out. Great Video, keep it up!
Really like your tedder certainly does a good spread 👍. I find it's always good to give loader or yard tractors a good workout too, I wouldn't mind having a 395 now after seeing more and more videos of it, I would prefer it than to a Massey Ferguson 135 anyway but that's my choice !!!! because I like my International & case International tractors ! 😁
jlsmith6310, each to their own depends on which tractor brand your raised up with !!!!, the good things about 395 is it had a hydrostatic steering as standard, fully hydraulically activated independent pto too without having to pressing two clutches down and bending over to engage a pto lever to either hear crunch or having to press the clutch again to attempt to getting into engage, wet disc brakes " a must on hilly ground " and saves having to maintain adjusting a drum or taking off to renewing shoes or constantly adjusting with a screwdriver in a slotted hole if the adjuster hasn't seized, easy to get over the transmission tunnel without having to dodge two gear lever's with your foot, plus with this one shown it has a forward and reverser lever as an option but all had syncromesh as standard apart from the hi, low, and reverse, as said in my previous comment that's just my opinion and I'm not expecting anyone else agreeing !!!! and yes I do like Massey's too but nothing painted blue plus with a 395 it's alot cheaper too than a 135, 😁
I had some hours on Massey tractors. We have no dealers within 100 miles. I like that the 395 follows the same design as the 574 and up. I could take 3/4 of the Parts off and put them on the 685. Massey had similarities too.
Guess we are lucky cut one day ted the next and bale the third.......Our 4 basket takes two 10 swaths... and we run 2 , because the price really jumps when you start adding baskets.(KRONE)
Good day Boy that worked nice. We never had a tedder, & I think the popularity only pick up in last few yrs. Up here we have some Mennonites making them, their own brands. Would 2nd high have been to fast or just rough. If you had 560 on could lift drawbar up & down. Thanks.
I usually don’t get into acres. Mainly for reasons of some locals that watch.... it’s a long story. I don’t try to give the impression that I’m a huge operation. What I will do in my videos is give specifics on prices but I try to leave one piece out so I don’t have my income calculated. Don’t know if I made any sense but acres is one thing I leave out

Nice to have some lunch-time entertainment! That 395 is a perfect fit for the tedder. I wish I had a small tractor for jobs like that.
Wishing it didn’t have the loader, also have to get the roof on yet. I don’t think I used 2 gallons.
Nice tedder!! Looks like it is working perfectly! I hope you are happy with it. Hope the rain stays away so you can rake and bale. Good job 395!!!
I really like tedding with it. 2 good upgrades!
Those tedders work pretty good you will like it. Good luck with your hay crop. I hope to start on my hay this week.
Thanks, yea this hay is better than last years by far. I really enjoy using the tedder vs my old one.
That tedder looks like it does great! Much better than the other one you have. By the sounds of it, the grass is drying out pretty good.
Yea it’s pretty nice hay. I did notice a faster drying time

Thanks, I almost wish I got the 4 star but this will work.
Yeah just a bit more time in the field. We would have liked a 6 rotor to do 3 windrows at a time but the price over doubles from the 4 to 6 rotor
I think the same is true from a 2 to a 4 if I remember when I was pricing them.
Yup they just keep getting more and more expensive lol
That thing really slings the hay!
Yea if I cranked it up to pto speed, I could really fling it around!
That tedder looks like it does a great job!
Yea I’m very happy with it. I love running it. Would recommend to anyone
I would like to see more of your IH toy collection.
Will do. It maybe winter time until I get to it
That thing works great, I would be pleased to.
Yea so far no complaints

Calum Anderson I'd take the 135 over a 395 anyday!!!

Yeah they are all legit Massey shortcomings. But I do like the MF better still. Just me
Yeah, their all great tractors agree with you 👍

You are a "Master Farmer" compared to me. I am trying to figure out all equipment needed. So... I cut the hay first? Hehehehehe.
Some thick thick hay those sickle bar mowers just wont cut.
Yea the haybine was about at capacity
hope you get your hay put up before it rains. i was gonna cut but we got a couple days of rain in the forecast now.
Yea just can’t get a dry stretch to mow a lot. This was just the warm up field, still have 5 more fields to go
Great vid does the tedder throw the grass over the next mowed row much and outside the field??
It will a little bit. On the ends I slowed down so it didn’t go into the corn field
Nice lookin Hay it looks heavy, good tonage per acre.
Yea it’s definitely more than last years crop. We had enough rain to grow it.
U had it good rite outa the box
Guess we are lucky cut one day ted the next and bale the third.......Our 4 basket takes two 10 swaths... and we run 2 , because the price really jumps when you start adding baskets.(KRONE)
Yea I did look at a krone but I couldn’t justify it for a small farm. I could buy about 3 of these for one
We cut our hay with a new holland sickle bar mower and it lays the hay down flat so we don’t have to ted it
Yea that’s how my grandad used to do it. He had a Vermeer crimper he used after
You should put it on the small farmall
I still might this year, I am far from being done
great rake bro
Thanks
Good patterns.
will you be doing field work with the 560 this year? if you have your arms right down it should allow you to turn sharper. great video!
I did have it out in an upcoming video. It didn’t go so well. Maybe Tuesdays Video
Nearly 4 years to the day of this posting, so how has it held up? I am in the market for a tedder, and from photos, the H & S looks flimsy.
Held up pretty good, if you make a lot of hay I would probably suggest getting a heavier duty one.
My used 4 star tedder paid for itself the first year. Dried faster and got it baled before the rains.
Yea I’m kinda wishing I got a 4 star right away. When I ordered this one I was planning on spraying half the hay dead
Are The H&S implements made in PA do you know?
I don’t think they are. Their headquarters is in Wisconsin. Pequea and New Holland is PA
Pequea is what I was thinking of thanks!
Good day Boy that worked nice. We never had a tedder, & I think the popularity only pick up in last few yrs. Up here we have some Mennonites making them, their own brands. Would 2nd high have been to fast or just rough. If you had 560 on could lift drawbar up & down. Thanks.
Yea the fast hitch is definitely a plus for jobs like this. Field is very rough. I did try it and was bouncing me out of the seat.
Where did you buy this? I'm looking for one now
You can get one at any farm dealer that sells hay equipment. They didn’t have this in stock but they ordered it for me
i didnt think 986 tractors came with a turbo
No, this was added. I did a video on it. 986 overview or something like that
How many acres of hay do you have?
I usually don’t get into acres. Mainly for reasons of some locals that watch.... it’s a long story. I don’t try to give the impression that I’m a huge operation.

Cool I understand that. Looks like you do quite a few the hard way I respect you for that it is hard work. Love the channel keep it up.
What tractor is 175 hp?
The 986. Has a turbo and fuel work. 436 ci so it’s similar to the 1586 engine
just buy ah 4 ore ah 6 star
Maybe someday. We are on a small budget.
Can I make a living in farming?
Ghosty Locxs4 what do you need to live?
Mark Groth I mean can I make good money in farming ?
All money is good, how much do you need?
