Nice to see you getting some time saving implements that are getting the job done for you and that your tractors appear to be up to the challenge of the larger implements. Nice job Dennis. Thanks for sharing!
Impressive machine performance and I like how well it follows the altering ground contours when in use. The ability to change the tilt angle of the baskets from the tractor seat on the move will no doubt be really useful as well.
Nice kit! I remember growing up here in England and the local farmer used to use a hay dryer know as a 'wuffler' which basically did the same thing but was a smaller machine and shaped like a yellow box.
I have had this tedder for 4 years. It has been excellent. Only had to replace used aircraft tires they used on transport. One thing I learned is when you go to fold it up make sure it is straight behind tractor and on as flat ground as possible. If on a side hill the transport wheels will turn and not lock in groove. It has been a real time saver.
Just got a Vermeer TE2510. Very similar tedder. We won't use it every time but for heavy cuttings and when the rain gets us, there is nothing better. Already figured out just after the dew burns off or before it sets in is the best time to ted. Just don't tell lots of folks you have one or you will be their "new best friend" when they need one.
it looks like it's doing a great job!!! I believe once you get used to it. you're going to love it and save a lot of time and money it will pay for itself soon.
Here where I live in Southwest VA it's a must to have a tedder. Because of the steep hills and weather. That's very nice, seems to flex much better than what I was thinking. Nice job,, good people do win sometimes.
All three of you doing a grand job. Rake, tractor and yourself 😊. That massey seems a good place to spend the day. Seat might need an upgrade though 🤔? Stay safe sir 🏴
Man is that think MINT!! 👌 We don't used a tedder up here most wheel rakes if anything but it would definitely speed up the baling process. Cool video Dennis
Good video again sorry I’m a little late watching it just got out of bed I guess I was tired I like your new piece of equipment can get through the field pretty quick with that my friend be safe have a good day
its not only the time savings,its the fuel savings if the tractor isnt running at pto speep she isnt drinking fuel.should help offse cost in the long run.nice looking unit.
Really looks like it follows contour of land well. The bigger travel wheels for transport really seem nice, my krohn (and most 4 baskets) just don’t have strength to bounce around on road even behind tractor
Make sure you have the tedder wheels going backwards. When folding it up, the alignment locking pins move into a groove for locking the wheels during transporting. I could send you pictures of mine bent up. Pequea was really good about getting me repair parts. LOL
My portion of Virginia is different from Floyd where I grew up. I cut hay Sunday baled Monday evening. Down your way a Tedder is needed there's a big difference in the heat. Looks good heck some of my hay Fields I couldn't use that in without hitting something.
We got 3 tenders 4 basket Kuhn; 4 basket John Deere; 2 basket Kuhn. I say you can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time with that 6 basket Tedder.
I went from a 2 rotor Tedder to a 6 rotor (before I broke it🤦♂️) and I’d never go back to a 2 unless I really had to. It would be interesting to find out how much the new equipment has saved you on this years crop compared to previous year
Have you watched latest Vahenberg implement Inc video Dennis ? Looks a nice tractor 4710 dyna 2, like the led lights and the extras with the dyna 2 ,plus you get the 24 24 gears. Pleased they gave option of more gears.Mike
Sort of late with this question, but have you had any trouble with the linkage that locks and unlocks the transport wheels? First indication ours gave was eating the tires, then the twin plate bell crank cut the roll pin and dropped down and during the change over from field to transport.it bent the mounting pivot shaft, requiring removal and using a press to bent it back straight........ Polyurethane bushings were destroyed and no way to lubricate i am presently replacing the bushings with bronze and adding a zerk..... It has set half the season...... We fell back on 2 4 basket Krones to finish out the year.. It's days here may be limited......
You might just want to Check those Roll pins and bushings, Could save you some cuss words.........because yours and ours are about the same age.... It's status here depends on whether or not an inquiry can complete the the deal........on a Krone 3200 trail disc mower, the tedder, a 10 wheel Sitrex Rake and a low bale 460 silage special JD baler (package deal)
Pleased for you Dennis another great bit of equipment to speed up and improve your business. .Nice the way it opens up, seems to do a good job..Takes a little bit more driving up the hills ?.Had a drive on my cousin's 4709 .Says he simetimes gets error codes when starting it, how's yours ? Mike
That’s a really nice Tedder! I just bought my first 4 basket Tedder this season and it’s a game changer for my small operation. We had been using two 9 ft Tedders. Where are you in Virginia? We are in Dickenson County VA near the KY boarder.
Are you running it in 540E? I just purchased a 4710 DYNA 2 and noticed that it burned seemingly more DEF when I was tedding hay with it. Is this something youve noticed at all?
I don’t have 540e on my 4710 unfortunately. I’ve always thought it was hard on def, but on the other hand it can show empty and it won’t even hold a full jug. I think the tank is too small or the gage is off on mine.
Good morning from east Tennessee, I like the Tedder, I can agree about the krone they are good tedders but they will bunch the hay it seemed worse in thin hay, I will say this it didn't seem to windrow as bad if you followed about an hour or two behind the mower, one thing it will get it done quite a bit faster and that's good for me because I don't like to ted anyhow nice video and good review, one question how many horse power do they recommend to pull it thanks for sharing.
Nice tedder I was just looking into buy a single row tedder. I have about 35 acres to get done. Just wondering do you think to green of hay would make the knotters miss? Thanks have a good day.
@@DLHFarms Thanks your reply. Yes am aware that hay has be dry were around 12 14 % but then was baling and the hay jumped up 20 to 30% and baler started missing then also so I wondered. Thanks again your reply.
I’ve baled up to 30 percent moisture hay with my baler and it still tied just fine. Of course I was putting crop saver on it to keep it from spoiling. I guess your baler may have trouble with high moisture but I wouldn’t think so.
@@DLHFarms Yes, I wondered that too,...just a casual thought I had,...maybe somebody out there knows, and can let me / us know, so I can sleep better at night LOL!
How can I not invest in a good Tedder I have to Ted every thing at least twice to dry it fast enough around here to get it baled before the next rain. To me it’s just as important as a good rake. Any time or fuel savings can be multiplied by two and sometimes more times.
@@DLHFarms yes youtube and owners manual show the incorrect way on the 6 rotors and 8 rotors. If you look at a 4 rotor it will show you the proper way. The lug nuts should face one another were the hay passes through. If you have the spindle frame were the hay passes through, the hay could start building up and getting stuck on the frame. It was a running change about 2 years ago.
The past couple of times you have been in the tractor I have had a hard time hearing you . I dont know if it is because I am going deaf or the mic is to far away .
@@DLHFarms Ok that’s what I thought. Big price jump between the two. I’m hoping to get one for next season I have got to cut down my drying time. I’m in north central PA. Great video I like your honest reviews. Thanks!
It’s just like in Farming Simulator. How does that make you feel? I pay money to simulate your real life. You should be getting a percentage. It seems only fair.
It’s not something that is needed everywhere but in certain humid and rainy climates like live in it’s really hard to dry hay fast enough to keep the next rain from getting it.
I like your videos. Precise , concise and exact.
Good to see you invest in a Tedder with the drying issues you have in that region. We found it takes 1-2 days off our drying time up here in WI.
Yes it will cut at least a day off drying time if not more here.
Nice to see you getting some time saving implements that are getting the job done for you and that your tractors appear to be up to the challenge of the larger implements. Nice job Dennis. Thanks for sharing!
Yes both tractors have been up to the tasks I’ve asked of them. Very pleased.
Impressive machine performance and I like how well it follows the altering ground contours when in use. The ability to change the tilt angle of the baskets from the tractor seat on the move will no doubt be really useful as well.

Nice kit! I remember growing up here in England and the local farmer used to use a hay dryer know as a 'wuffler' which basically did the same thing but was a smaller machine and shaped like a yellow box.
Hmm that’s interesting
Bamford wuffler ? It is used to turn the rows.
Glad to see you got a new tedder enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing. 👍👍

Always a good thing when you can save time and fuel. Very nice tedder!
Absolutely

I believe your right
Oh man I’ve been excited for this video for awhile!
Awesome!
Here where I live in Southwest VA it's a must to have a tedder. Because of the steep hills and weather. That's very nice, seems to flex much better than what I was thinking. Nice job,, good people do win sometimes.
That’s where I’m at SWVa.
Nice looking unit, Dennis. Any time you can save will help you make a better quality bale with less crop saver being sprayed on.
👍
All three of you doing a grand job. Rake, tractor and yourself 😊. That massey seems a good place to spend the day. Seat might need an upgrade though 🤔? Stay safe sir 🏴
It’s actually got a very comfortable seat.
@@DLHFarms I'm just a man that gets a bad back nowadays on and off so like a good air seat. 👍 Tractor is a good size for the rake 👌
@@ianhaggart1438 yep the seat is air ride
Man is that think MINT!! 👌 We don't used a tedder up here most wheel rakes if anything but it would definitely speed up the baling process. Cool video Dennis

Shoot your here pretty early I think haha
Looks great! Less time in the field and more drying time for the hay!
That’s right!

👍
Really looks like it follows contour of land well. The bigger travel wheels for transport really seem nice, my krohn (and most 4 baskets) just don’t have strength to bounce around on road even behind tractor
Yeah I’ve noticed that about the 6 baskets that ride on the little wheels on the road.
Good move Dennis. I tedder 3 times to make quality round bales. 6 is better than 4 & much better than 2!
Yep tedding makes better quality hay for sure. The faster you can dry it the more nutrients and color you keep in the hay.
That is the business Dennis. Good choice and good decision.
Thanks!
Nice looking Tedder!! Would love to have one like that! Would be even better if it had baskets to make windrows, or for fluffing windrows..
Nice looking machine and looks like it does a good job 👍
So you went back and got the bigger brother 👍
Yep
Great video. Love the new Tedder. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Awesome Tedder Dennis, The Beast 👍
Thanks!
Make sure you have the tedder wheels going backwards. When folding it up, the alignment locking pins move into a groove for locking the wheels during transporting. I could send you pictures of mine bent up. Pequea was really good about getting me repair parts. LOL
What’s the model number on yours I think that changed some of that. I drive straight for a little was before folding.
TT6101. Pequea was going to put some stickers on the wheel structure to give a visual aid to folding up the Tedder.
You truly need to be as efficient as you can afford. Best wishes. Great hay!🆒😸
👍
It looks great. Love the camera angles. 👍😊
Thanks!
Beautiful Land.
Thanks

@@DLHFarms awesome Tedder... Maybe you should move up here and be a flat lander and not need a Tedder lol
Congratulations and good luck with your new tedder
Thanks
@@DLHFarms you're vary welcome
Really nice 👍🏻
Thanks
Nice time saver..
We got 3 tenders 4 basket Kuhn; 4 basket John Deere; 2 basket Kuhn. I say you can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time with that 6 basket Tedder.
Hey there Dennis, Congrats on the good results so far.
👍
Pequea also builds tedders for John Deere's Frontier brand I believe Pequea HT6101 is the same machine as the Frontier TD3427.
Yes that’s right
Great awesome video Dennis , nice Tedder
Thanks!
Nice Tedder Dennis , make's a great job, you can't get tedders like yours in UK all linkage mounted I would prefer yours
That’s strange
Time is money. Looks like it's gonna save you time and maybe fuel. Looks like a good decision. 🙏
👍
Nice tedder Dennis you know what they say bigger the better
👍
I went from a 2 rotor Tedder to a 6 rotor (before I broke it🤦♂️) and I’d never go back to a 2 unless I really had to. It would be interesting to find out how much the new equipment has saved you on this years crop compared to previous year
Don’t be tearing up stuff now haha
Dennis I really think you will seethe savings over time. You have to multiply the time saving times two if your tedding twice.
👍 that’s true!
Nice one..
But if there is a rock between beys, what is going to happen?
Nice unit.
Thanks
Boy that thing does lay it out nice.
Yes it does
Good for you I’m happy for you good video thank you 👍👏👏👏
Thanks!
Have you watched latest Vahenberg implement Inc video Dennis ? Looks a nice tractor 4710 dyna 2, like the led lights and the extras with the dyna 2 ,plus you get the 24 24 gears. Pleased they gave option of more gears.Mike

an interesting comparison with the performance of Tom pembertons demo tedder video

Ganz e schöne Chreiselheuer 🍀🍀❤❤❤
Awesome Tedder! What part of SW Virginia are you in? We have a place in Troutdale.
I’m in Patrick county.
We sell these. IMHO Pequea makes one of the best tedders out there. You should find it to be well worth the investment.
I think I made the right decision I hope it holds up in the long run.
Cool!
Those are nice tedders! I might have to borrow that ;) LOL

It won’t be the cause of knotters missing but it will cause your hay to heat and mold and in worst cases it could catch fire on its own.

@@jamesmorrison1884 they must have priced you the automated kit. I just got the manual version and control it myself. Cost about $1500
I thought you would like it, after using a six basket Tedder you’ll throw rocks at a four once you get past the price difference.
Very true. Don’t know that I can stand to go back to the old way. Haha
Can you tell me where the name of Tedding or Tedder comes from, Dennis?
26 foot swath sure looks like 'production' to this 'greenhorn'!
I have no idea 🤷♂️ maybe the guy that invented it was named Tedd. Haha
@@DLHFarms Yes, I wondered that too,...just a casual thought I had,...maybe somebody out there knows, and can let me / us know, so I can sleep better at night

How do u justify spending that on a fluffer? Is it worth n time u save maybe. I bet it's nice to cover that kinda ground fast

Hey i noticed the wheels that you installed on the wings are on the wrong side. The 2 outter wheels should have the lug nuts facing each other.
Ok so I looked the Tedder up on pequeas RUclips channel and I do have them installed correctly.

Transport cart. The 6201 doesn’t have one and the whole machine has to ride on two little wheels when transporting.

Pequea even says the 6201 is not designed to be transported very much. To me that sounds like they know it can’t handle much of a beating
@@DLHFarms good to know thanks!

Great little tractor.
It’s just like in Farming Simulator. How does that make you feel? I pay money to simulate your real life. You should be getting a percentage. It seems only fair.
I play farm sim sometimes too
So what is the purpose of this? Dose this device turn over the hay to dry the bottom side?
Yes and fluffs it so air can get through it easier.
yes
@@DLHFarms ok thanks for the input. I wasn't sure
It’s not something that is needed everywhere but in certain humid and rainy climates like live in it’s really hard to dry hay fast enough to keep the next rain from getting it.
alot of money for a tedder if i spent that money it had better have bucket seats and ice cold a c but thats me im just cheap
It don’t hurt as bad when it makes you money.
Is the krone for sale?
No not yet
@@DLHFarms I'd be interested if it comes for sale this season sometime.. I'm in Southern Maryland
Anyway...lol
