[QUOTE="SmokinM, post: 1749687, member: 21382"] Funny you posted this, I was driving around today tedding hay thinking about how in this area the tedder is probably the most important piece of equipment I own. You can cut and bale with junk but here you better buy the best tedder you can afford. You just about can’t make dry hay here without it, especially first cut. I generally lay mine down and tedd about 24hrs. later. If really pushed on time tedd as soon as you cut and may tedd up to 3 times. I have used it on SS and it shouldn’t be a problem but that does depend on tedder design. I had a New Idea when I started and it would wrap around the tires. Running a Krone now and I think it would tedd cornstalks. I find running about 16-1800 rpm is just about right. Like mentioned above no need to go the full 540. [/QUOTE]
