A great idea to flip the hay to dry faster. Great idea. I enjoyed the visit with u. Keep them coming.

Good video. I have never seen a tunneling bar bend like that but you got both cheeks into it.

Looks like a good fix for the guards & the bent arm. The Krone seems to have held up well for being used for 8 years. Stay safe.

I had the same problem on the exact same Tedder. I took everything off and only changed the handle for shifting positions. You're exactly right, it's a shame to pay that kind of money and have those problems.

Ours was about a month old and the help ran into a wood pile and bent an arm .a little heat and it came back to place no more problems. Good machine

Thank you that is where I was leaning

Cool! Good job

Nice video,

I can see as you are tedding that the rear of the Tedder is bouncing and flexing. Looks like a good fix. I looked at a 6 star version today on a parts run. Cost too much. That steering adjustment looks neat. Should demonstrate it in action, never seen that before.

Hmm I wonder why the kobta is on the trailer going to back to the store to get a job lol. And those things never stay on.

I've got a New Holland Tedder and one of the tine bars was missing. Turned out the prior owner hit something and sheared the tine bar off, bolts sheared off flush with the drive hub. To get us through a small tedding job, we repositioned one one of the neighboring tines to try to bring it into balance. Worked, but not good - still out of balance. Finally welded a nut to the broken bolt, screwed it out and was able to replace the missing tine bar. Tedder works great now. I said all that to say this - when the tine bar on your Tedder got bent, did it throw the whole Tedder out of balance such that it was noticeable from the cab?

good one

your doing rightly over 8 yrs

Had the same issue with a kuhn tedder, they all fell off and we only re mounted the rear ones as the front ones just got in the way going through tight gateways. We have a bigger heavier fella tedder (now made by agco) and that seems to not bounce around so much and hence hasnt fallen apart like the kuhn.

That reminds me of the time I was cutting hay with my haybine came up on a tire laying in the field I thought where did that come from then it came to me its mine off the haybine went flat and ran off the rim felt ike a fool.

I would be inclined to half fill the tires with water and then to not inflate them to much - this to reduce the bouncing around. I enjoy your videos - keep up the good work. Cheers from New Zealand

That's farmin Always somethin breaking or about to break. Never when you want it. Anyways I never knew what tedding was till I watched this channel.

In the interest of Full Disclosure and Fairness to Krone, what is the age of that machine, how many years of service did you get before the first failure, and why did you not go back to Krone for service at the first failure? Thanks

Hey DLH I just have quick question for you. In your 6640 video you talked about a problem with the seat that it wouldn't swing side to side. I have a 7740 with the same problem. You said that you have fixed it before just wondering if you could tell me what it is?

I've bent spud bars worse prying rocks out of post holes. It'll bend right back, they're kind of like limp noodles

I own the same tedder for 9 years and now problems at all!!

that look pretty good for an 8 year old and 8 years of service.

Would you buy another krone redder, I am looking to replace mine in the near future

I am about to buy a Krone Tedder. Do you still they are the best choice ?

i would like to see you putting them on - not after you done it

Don't look Ethel.
