2023 New Holland ProTed™ Rotary Tedders 3417

ProTed™ Series rotary tedders help you make high-quality hay in difficult weather conditions and climates. Tedding fluffs and evenly distributes your crop to expose damp hay to sunlight and air, which helps it dry quicker. The durable ProTed Series uses coil spring tines to efficiently lift crop off the ground and invert it so that crop on the bottom of the windrow is now exposed on top. By speeding up and evening out drying, you can bale sooner or before bad weather hits. If showers do unexpectedly arrive, use your ProTed tedder to spread out damp crops to help it dry out quicker. Don’t risk your hay when you can dry it the fast and professional way.

This four-rotor tedder is perfect for traditional haymakers using nine- or ten-foot-wide mowers. Six tine arms per rotor and a low overall weight make this model perfect for smaller tractors as it requires a minimum of just 20 PTO horsepower to operate.

This six-rotor tedder boasts a working width of nearly 25 feet for 50% more productivity than four-rotor models. The extra width means you can maintain your ideal tedding speed and fluff three swaths simultaneously to finish faster. Each rotor uses seven tine arms to handle heavy windrows from larger mowers. Since not all crop conditions are the same, the wheel columns can be adjusted to provide three different rotor angles. The right position can enhance spreading action and help speed up drying. A steep angle is more aggressive, while a flatter angle is gentler to help prevent leaf loss in high-value crops like alfalfa.

The ProTed 3625 has a border tedding system that lets you hydraulically angle the entire machine left or right without leaving the tractor seat. By angling the rotor, you can avoid unintentionally spreading material onto fences or adjacent fields, helping you keep more of your valuable crop and protect others.

Features may include:

ProTed™ tedders feature a heavy-duty, one-piece, boxed metal frame that has a single welded seam. Unlike other designs, the ProTed Series has modular gearboxes that do not serve as part of the frame. Instead, durability is enhanced as the gearboxes are bolted to the mainframe to ensure that no additional strain on the frame occurs. To provide you with maximum reliability, these gearboxes feature crown and pinion drives positioned in one housing. Large drive shafts and double U-joints allow power to be smoothly transferred through the frame so that each rotor will easily follow the contours of your fields. The hexagonal driveshaft profile eliminates keys and keyways, which can weaken the shaft or cause failure under heavy crop loads.

Reliability comes standard. The ProTed 3417 gearbox requires periodic, simple greasing, while the ProTed 3625 has permanent oil-bath lubrication to simplify daily maintenance.

Travel down the road with ease and confidence. The ProTed 3417 conveniently combines the tine height and hydraulic folding system together for a compact 9’6” transport width. That also means your settings are ready to go when you get to the field. The larger ProTed 3625 has an integral transport chassis system that lifts the individual balloon tires and supports the machine on 15-inch transport tires for a wide, stable 9’9” transport width.
