Producing good quality hay requires a diligent farmer who is ready to go through all the steps necessary for a good product. Skipping one step can dramatically affect the outcome of your crop. That includes hay tedding. When you use a hay tedder, the hay is thoroughly conditioned with a faster drying time and evenly distributed. This process should be done after cutting the hay and before windrowing. At Virginia Tractor in Northern Virginia, we have wide and reliable John Deere tedders that you can pair with your tractor to ensure your hay reaches its full potential.

Digidrive drive system

Each hay tedder is equipped with the exclusive Digidrive drive system that is made from forged, case-hardened, heat-treated steel. This drive system ensures maximum life and smooth power transition. With regular maintenance, this implement can easily last over 30 years making it a great investment for your operation.

Wheels

The tedders have flotation wheels that allow for smooth operation over irregular grounds. There is also a spring suspension system inside the housing which forces the cart to be raised once the weight of the rotors is removed during unfolding. This suspension system creates additional clearance and helps the tedder float over small surface changes.

Hydraulic tine pitch control

This feature allows the operator to adjust the tine pitch height inside of the cab using the handle on the tedder. This can come in handy in different fields and with different terrain changes.
