Height Adjustment: 

To adjust the height of a turnbuckle lift tedder, you must disengage 
the PTO shaft, shut off the tractor, and wait until the machine comes 
to a complete stop. Now rotate the turn buckle under the PTO shaft 
to change the height of the reel. Turnbuckle 

is equipped with a “lock” 

or “jam nut” and it is recommended that the jam nut be tightened by 
tapping with a hammer handle once the desired height is achieved.  
To adjust the height of a hydraulic lift tedder, adjust the reel stops 
(located on the reel support arms) using one of the three-hole 
positions to achieve the proper tine to ground clearance. 
 
 We recommend 1-2" clearance between the ground and the bottom of the tooth. While it is 
impossible to eliminate all contact with the ground, try to keep it to a minimum as this not only wears 
the tines but contaminates your hay with dust and creates unnecessary wear on your other harvesting 
equipment. 

Maintenance:

 

Warning: 

When repairing, maintaining and cleaning the machine, it is particularly important to 

be aware of safety precautions. Park the tractor (if connected) and machine and follow all 
precautionary measures. 

Important: 

Bolts on your new machine must be tightened after 2 hours of working. 

As is the case with any piece of equipment periodically check for loose bolts and nuts as paint 
and parts settling after the initial vibrations are common and can cause bolts or nuts to come 
loose. Check the following parts frequently: tines, bat arms, cam arms, guards, pulleys, bearings, 
wheels, etc. Grease the bearings every 8 hours. You should check the gearbox at least once a year. 
If necessary, add to the proper level with gear oil. Remember when adding gear lube, the machine 
must be in a horizontal position. The gearbox should have approximately two inches of gear lube in it.  
It is important to keep the drive belts tight. At each end of the reel there are pillow block bearings, 
loosen the bolts 1 round only. Tighten the adjustment bolts (uniformly on both sides) until the belts 
are tighten to the proper tension, and then retighten the bearing bolts.
