HP required for tedder

Southtowns27 · Mar 26, 2010

Rather than keep cluttering my other tedder thread, I figured I'd just start a new one. How much horsepower will I need to run a 4 star tedder. It's a Hesston 3717 (17') that I'm looking at. Thanks in advance.

Dunno, but I run my 4 star Duetz Fahr tedder on a 27hp Ford 1720. You dont need alot of HP. J

Jays got me beat, but ive run a 4 star kuhn with a Moline U. Its between 30 and 40 horse. Not settin a land speed record but just fluffin it. Toby.

No it sure does not seem to need a lot of HP, I did most of the tedding last year on about 150 acres of hay ground with a 3150 JD, way overkill.
