Tedders and rakes

Tedders are tools that use spinning fork-like implements to lift and separate clumps of hay. This helps to aerate the hay and speed up the drying process so it can be collected for haymaking sooner, especially in wet conditions. Hay rakes bring hay together in windrows to prepare it for being baled.

Types of Tedders and Rakes

While tedders come in many different designs, they all function in the same way. You mainly need to choose one based on the appropriate size and budget for your operation.

However, there are distinct types of hay rakes that you should know about before making a buying decision:

• Wheel rakes: These use multiple vertically spinning rakes to move hay material to the center, creating a windrow. Wheel rakes perform best under dry conditions and do not require a very powerful tractor.
• Rotary rakes: These use one or more horizontally spinning rakes that collect and arrange hay in a windrow. They perform better under wetter conditions and can be lifted to eliminate ash collection.
• Parallel bar or basket rakes: Typically consists of two rake arms arranged in a V-shape to collect hay in the center. They are hydraulically lifted to avoid collecting dirt and can perform at different moisture levels.
