A hay tedder accelerates drying time by flipping and aerating cut hay. This guide explains how tedders work and covers every major wear part — tines, bearings, gearboxes, drivelines, skid shoes, and more — with inspection tips and stocking recommendations.

From broken tines to gearbox failures, this in-depth guide covers the most common hay rake failure points — what causes them, how to spot them early, and how to fix them before they cost you a cutting.
