You’ve made me feel better,left a good 25acres or more out of 175 acres of 3rd cut,I’d have some similar pictures if I’d have taken any,I’ve tortured myself enough without seeing pictures to remind me.Ground conditions are getting worse, I’m dreading bringing any baler in now
Customer insisted on it being teddedWould you not be better off staying away with the tedder? Just row up and bale
Two 7500's and 2 chaser bins in 6.5 acre field, took longer to get all into field and hooked up than it did to cut it, at least I had 28 acres for them yesterday evening. All done here, no idea of yield yet but they said these were some of the better crops of barra they had cut, so happy enough

There must be some mileage on that machinery, South Tipp to Meath and Lord only knows where in between. Was there a cranky Scania driver waiting to be loaded from the chaser?
I ted all my own silage too on the farm, especially this time of year with second cut stuff, I find it leaves the bales in better shape when that bit drierCan't understand this obsession with tedding stuff
No feed value in water...I ted all my own silage too on the farm, especially this time of year with second cut stuff, I find it leaves the bales in better shape when that bit drier

Raking it gets it as dry as tedding it anyway IMO if its left raked for a day.I know you have to do what customers want.
But I'd have raked it up and let the ground dry between the rows .
I’d agree with that sort of light stuff raking will dry it up as much but in June/July with heavy 15/16 bale to the acre crops the only way to really get a nice wilt on it is to ted it outRaking it gets it as dry as tedding it anyway IMO if its left raked for a day.
Yes but when you try go go picking up that stuff then it's so lumpy that progress is severely slowed down stuff isn't properly chopped eitherI’d agree with that sort of light stuff raking will dry it up as much but in June/July with heavy 15/16 bale to the acre crops the only way to really get a nice wilt on it is to ted it out
You were saying that before alright but I don’t find lumps a problem at all once it has been tedded by someone that is used to the tedder, in saying that a bad lad on the tedder will make it look like the rows were tedded at an angle with a haybobYes but when you try go go picking up that stuff then it's so lumpy that progress is severely slowed down stuff isn't properly chopped either
