Thats doing a really neat job Wes! With wet, heavy crop, its spreadibg it out very evenly and not putting it into lumps. Great job. Nice looking machine, look forward to see more of it!!!

i find it amazing that a farmer can make a living with all the equipment they have to have. the cost of the equipment, and the maintenance of it has got to be unreal

Yep, it's been a frustrating year for hay in Washington state too. I've got a bunch of grass that's more than ready, but the ground won't dry out.. raining as I type. Best of luck!

Great video Wes, thanks , im not a farmer but enjoy watching you an your son work on farm.

I know this was a demo from Pequea and you have a have a tedder and you don't often use a tedder, BUT if you are ever in the market for one to permanently buy, check out the Vermeer TE250. The hook tine design of the Vermeer units is really nice. We demo'd one at the Moultrie Ag Expo in Georgia a couple of years ago and were sold. We saw it ran right next to 3 others tedders (Kuhn, NH, and Kubota) and the height, inversion and spread equality of the Vermeer was easily evident during that demo. I've ran Deere/Kuhn tedders my whole life (we produce horse hay in South GA) and I was very impressed with the Vermeer unit. Just felt it worth mentioning. Keep up the good work Wes.

I just like the looks and stance of that Deere 7530 ENGWISH TRACTOR

how could people actually thumb this down? Thanks for sharing Wes, I really have enjoyed watching your videos this winter/spring. Keep them coming!

I really enjoy your vids Wes. We a lot alike w zero filter and doing everything ourselves and just enjoy seeing a down to earth successful farmer. Keep it up hoss. 👍👍

Been wet here too. Normally dry lawns are too wet to mow. Many of them are like submerged rice patties.

Looks like you took some good old British weather home with you along with your nice new tractors 😂

Great Job Wes ! I'm liking the 75 as well.You need to buy more of our tractors lol

Great video Wes

That is a nice tedder and some very thick grass too.

Good video just found you and your videos two days ago they are really enjoyable.

Great video Wes! I hope you do well for your self and family this year! And maybe have enough left over to get some new toys. Anyways cheers mate.

I understand that aggravation when it comes to weather changing for the worse when you got hay on the ground. Best of luck Wes!

love the video keep up the good work

Don't feel bad we've all got stuff on the ground because of the good weather that was suppose to be here the Tedder is impressive

Thanks for the video.

OLF, If your harvest weather conditions change to those like in Ireland, you might try a McHale Fusion 3 with a built in wrapper or McHale 998(like George's) or Tanco 1814LA. With grass material like that and the weather forecast might be a good time to demo/ hire a 1814 wrapper or tube wrapper etc. (Yes, I have seen the vids where OLF states his dislike of bale wrappers) . Either that or turn an old barn into a hay dryer.

Wes, look at it like this. I always figure on getting hay wet atleast once per year. You just knocked it out right out of the gate. That stuff happens. June 1 gotta get moving sooner than later. I haven't started either. Missouri weather isn't any better.

Love how it has large transport tires, and bigger tires under each spinner. Much better than our Kuhn. The tiny tires have ours bouncing all over the place at every little bump.

I've only been able to get up 1/2 of my first cutting up. It's not gone 2 days without some kind of rain since two Friday's ago down here. Forecasts would look good then change by the hour. What ever those weather people are smoking maybe we should be growing that instead!

Damn i really like that 7530!

thanks for the video wes

Them 7530s are one sexy looking beast!!!!

I here ya. we've been in the 50's for the last few days here in north central mn. supposed to warm up and no rain for a stretch they say. Got corn in sunday and hay is ready to cut. We will see cause every cloud that comes over seems to have moisture in it. Just a update from this region.

the point is --it does what it says it will --winner hands down. go pequea

I like it!

I bought Farming simulator 17, because I thought it would be an entertaining way, as a suburban paint contractor, to see how farms and their equipment work. It's been a hoot. Also have two of the highest rated mods. A John Deere 8530 and a 7530 premium. 400 pieces of real world equipment models. 25 manufacturers. It's a ridiculous way to farm ; )

Love it....

you need a bigger one :D in austria we use most of the time 60-100 HP tractors for such a thing :D

lely redders (industructable)i think they sell them in the USA a lot heavyer build plus they have patented special fingers,you should really try one

Our weather in Ontario is the same way. we haven't hardly turned a wheel had to exchange all the corn for 2600 hu

Never seen one of them work . Looks like nice job .Too bad weather not co-operating .

NICE Tedder

We bought one TT6101 2years ago Teds beautifully, problem is we can't keep transport tires on the bastard..... Hiway travel eats the tires.....Yes the Straight line locks are in place,

nice machine 👍

Wes don't ever turn your back on a falling tree, take a few steps to the back and side and watch it fall

Weather, the farmers friend and enemy. May we see more of the timber bit? 🙂🙂

Ya got yer tedder bear with ya?.....D'OH!

Wes. clip that pto gaurd chain onto the machine. its there for a reason.

Looks real good Wes! Can I assume this hay is going to be for cattle?

I walked past that Morra Tedder I got from you. I showed it the grass you were tedding and it broke just sitting there. 😂

Pequea Tedder TT6101 looks very nice, and does the job amazing, hydrolics very fast, and Wes cutting a tree wow real lumber jack right Teresa 😲😲😲😲😂😛😜😛😂😛😜😛😜😂

I see the material is heavy. Hopefully the rest of your hay will yield as much.

Hi Wes, I always wondered is there much of a difference between the European tractor tyre JD 7530 and the American tyre like what's in ur Jd 7410🤔. Best of luck with ur crops this year 👍

tedder before the mower gets done

Interesting to see how the whole hay process is done on the big farms. Is that fescue hay?

you must be watching logger wade the way that tree went down Wes. lol

Looks a great machine, just wondering if it possible to lift the rotors up if you wanted to do the headlands last

A bit more horsepower wouldn't be bad for that thing, RIGHT TIM?!?

nice tedder what was the tree cutting for

wes look on the brightside... that hay aint going anywhere and the second crop os gonna have a great start with all that moisture

Hi ! will you also use a Pequeña rotary rake or will you still using the other rake, here in Europe everybody uses rotary rakes that tipe you use is like kind of old stuff, is here in America all the way round, is common that people use rotary rakes?, Thanks keep working i love your farm and your equipment! I'm from Spain and i also have a hay farm of 250 acres

Question, we were a small cattle operation, had an old gill fluffer/ tedder- looked more like the reels on a combine, and it would stand the grass up in the windrows...what is the advantage of the basket type over what I just described.. as we rolled 3 windrows into one (7 ft haybine) and rolled with a 4 ft round baler...and there weren't any extra trips...

Do you feel that the six basket does a good job spreading heavy windrows behind a 16' swather? The guys around me have gone to 8 baskets because they didn't like where the windrow hits on the six basket. Were getting lots of clumps.

And by the way Wes, will we see that Krone tractor mounted disc mower you wanted to get this season?

tedding hay with a 7530... baller life lol

I remember a video where you said something about not having use of a Tedder if you were using one you were losing money. Has something changed in your operation?

I don't know what your weather average is year on year,if I was in your situation it would be a no brainer to have mower conditioners instead of those swathers. We used to make 500 acres of hay in Wales and it is the wettest place in the UK. cutting with a mower conditioner gives you at least 1-1.5 extra drying days.

over kill lol! that's a big tractor to pull that.

did it stop raining yet

Hi Wes As I come from NZ your hay appears to be very coarse, is any of it used for stock feed ? As I live in the lower South Island we mainly make Baleage & Silage there are various NZ Contractors on You Tube you may care to take a look at as one of thr reasons I follow you and others on line as I find it interesting to see how other Farmers around the world do things. Have a good Day.

That's a pretty wide tedder. How fast can you go through the field while operating it?

Protect that shaft!!

whats the status on the 4960?

That is thick - wow - see how much is drys out - not easy with it being partly sunny

In your opinion sense you tedded the hay today when would you have baled it if you were to make it into small sqaures

Could you safely use one of your smaller older tractors to use this Tedder or the rake I remember you saying in one of your videos that they were too small to do anything. But I don't see theses peaces of equipment use I got that much horse power or being to heavy to stop. Thanks

whats with the tree cutting in the middle of the video? I like the video thanks.

I have a question for you one lonely farmer? Why don't you mulch your hay. Maybe you can do a video on why. You may have done a video but maybe you can do a new video on why

Be careful there, don't make screws out of the shafts... it only requires 45 hp

Turn down your SCV speed and it would be less jerky when folding and unfolding

are we gonna get to see the JD 60 or grandpa's farmall doing PTO work on the Kuhn tedder

You should have yelled TIMBER

It's annoying you? I still have 45 acres of corn to plant!

please put the pto guard chain on before someone gets killed!!!!!!!

how much RPM is the PTO turning?

Do you think you've got enough horsepower driving that Wes?

tedder system is more European system when grew up I did lot times at dairy farm

Ever looked into Oxbo mergers?

Really nice but 15k is a little bit much

I only noticed u have 3 mowers I taut u only had the 2 fine job

Ok, question- a Tedder and a rake are different right? Why can't they make a combined rake and tedder? Maybe they do. I'm not a farmer.

On it like a car bonnet

how much engine rpm are you running at Wes?

Was there no chain on that PTO guard?

Pequea website says 45 pto horsepower

i think your ground would do a lot better with a good pass with a heavy cambridge roller wes, jus sayin"

Your bailers wheels are small enough that they have a tough time in mud. Have you ever really considered putting a track system on them. If anyone could do it, it would be you.

TT6101 has shield issue. drive shield has no attachment to tedder frame

same mechanism as the 57 retractable Ford top?wait till it's elderly like the yellow beast you were always welding & remanufactured

Crap i really didn't think your hay looked all that impressive until i watched it all fly out the ass of that thing... Alot more material their in that view verses comming out of the windrower... Now im anxious to watch it be raked up with that new sponsored rake... You keep showing their equipment off like that i may just have to go buy me one... The guy running that equipment dealership was pretty slick asking you to demonstrate their equipment... The publicity you have given their equipment is second to none... IMPRESSIVE is all i can say...

should have waited 1 more week before you cut the hay?..

drivelinecover shouldnt be spinning! I have used one. by turning the wheels you can use it as a rake. try it!

run it with a tractor with less HP i wanna see how it works out

Hey Wes! Are You going to get plates for tractors? is it possible in USA? Why you did not take off english ones?

Attach the chains on the pto shaft !!

nice tedder shame about the tractor
