We are having some good(dry) haymaking weather here in PA and I've finally gotten some hay made.
It was so thick and matted that I was constantly jamming the reel on the haybine and clogging the cutterbar from the volume of grass. I bought a 2 basket tedder to help me dry it, and I got most of the first cutting up - now I'm wondering how you guys use your tedders?
Do you always plan on tedding or only if it's overly wet? My haybine is a 9'-0" cut and I use to leave the swath pretty wide before I had the tedder to optimise drying. Now I am thinking that if I plan on having to ted hay to help dry it, I should always set a tight windrow behind the habyine to keep from running over it with my tractor tire and then come back later to ted it back out after the ground has dried.
I only do orchard grass, timothy and clover - no alfalfa. How do you guys typically use your tedders, specifically in the northeast climates with native grass hay?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
