[QUOTE="Bez?, post: 230327, member: 4151"] I suppose it depends on the tedder. Bottom line if the hay is thick you gotta' do something. You might try using a lower gear and a higher rpm - but not so high as to throw off all of the leaves on the plant. When you cut it - open up the back end of your mower / discbine / haybine or whatever you have. That will allow it to lay down over a wider area. We are cutting some grass next Monday if the weather is right. It is over 5 feet tall - yeah we are late. As I will be away the neighbour will cut it - and open the back end of the discbine to the fullest extent. Let it dry for a day or so - then hit it with the tedder - it will not be so heavy that way. In fact if I work it right - he will cut it, ted it, rake it, bale it, haul and stack it - and just about one day after he is done with almost my entire crop - I should be returning home! :D That is my plan - but I suspect it will not turn out that way. Not for my lack of trying though. Just what we do - works for us - your place may be different. Bez? [/QUOTE]
