Hi Gang;
This is the most commonly used type of hay & silage tedder used over here. Made by several companies to the same design. The tines on the PTO driven rotors spin out and downwards by centrifugal force to gather the crop up. (The tines can be locked down as well)
With the gates left wide open the crop is left full width and fluffy to allow the wind to dry it. With the gates set narrow, a nice even windrow is formed for baling. Here the gates are shut for transport/storage.

Yes, "Buddy", we tried a Lely on demo for a week. Couldn't hold a candle to our PZs. Didn't ted or row up as well. No one like using it because the baler men would give the rowers-up a b********g. That's a PZ on the back of that Brown, and quite an early one because it's got the crap tyres on. First thing we had to do was get rid of them and get some proper 8ply ones on. Then they decided to put better wheels/tyres on as standard.

To stop the gates wearing out make sure the top link is set so that the gates only just touch the ground. The book used to say that you needed to alter the top link position between tedding & rowing up but we never bothered with that. If you have the machine at too big a tilt you don't get the ground coverage.

As far as altering the tines is concerned squirt some oil along all the springs at the beginning of the season and periodically thereafter. They will change over much easier. When you change a tine have a look at the part that goes through the plastic bush. If it's badly worn take it out and fill the worn part up with weld and grind it back. When you start going round the machine like this for the second time it's time to swap it for a new one.

Hi Buddy;
On the Lely version sold about 10 years ago, you could lock the tines down so that you could use a lower than 540 rpm PTO speed on tractors without economy pto.

That's what I use! It looks like the holes that those gates ride in are egged out allowing the gates to ride too low.Then they drag on the ground and wear out. Those gates are over $500 ea.

Shoot, I guess I shouldn't have cut the nearly new ones I had up to get the tines for another rake lol.

That's why we have welders and pieces of 3/8 flat stock steel.

I have done thousands of acres with genuine PZ Hay Bobs as a contractor and it is not possible to lock the tines down. And why would you want to anyway ?

The tines on ours had two settings, one for tedding and one for raking. What a pain changing them all once they got a bit rusty.

A haybob sells for about 300-400$ here now. Eats teeth but indestuctible.
