Tedding Operations in Meadow Management
Farmers use rotary tedders to speed up the natural drying process of cut grass intended for animal feed. The spinning tines lift the dense carpet of mown vegetation, spreading it evenly across the field so sunlight and wind can evaporate moisture before baling.
Mechanics of Rotary Hay Spreading
Rotary tedders feature spinning rotors equipped with flexible spring tines that catch the grass without digging into the turf. Power comes from the tractor PTO shaft, which rotates the machinery at high speed. Proper drying prevents mold growth and preserves essential nutrients inside the stored forage.
