This past year we bought a old design rake tedder combo. It is a Vermeer TR90, but is really a Lely Lotus 300 Combi - a tedder rake combo that has been around for years. Different in design than a Haybob, more like a tedder adapted to rake. The tines have two settings, one for tedding and one for raking. In the video, we were still learning this tedder rake to some extent, but quickly got it dialed in to make some really big, fluffy windrows. Pretty heavy duty machine IMHO and does a nice job tedding too. It has what are called hook tines which the whole tine comes at the ground at an angle which IMHO helps prevent tine breakage. The video is using the machine to rake hay.

First cutting hay for square bales back around the first of June...

“is it just me or are you missing a lot of hay looks like rake is not as wide mower ?”

In the first part of the video we are missing some hay. We are still getting our sea legs with this new to us tedder rake. We soon dialed it in and if you watch the video, especially when son is raking, it’s making a clean sweep.
 
“Ditto there appeared to be more hay left not raked than I would want left in the field. ”
