®
TEDDER
4.1. General nformat on
BALTIMATIC
®Hay Tedder with two rotors is a 3 point hitched machine adjusted for work at
slopes no more than 12 degree and working with tractor class 0.6 and higher. Tractor should be
equipped with standard front weights. For driving of BALTIMATIC
®Tedder should be used
standard PTO shaft with 1 3/8’ spline in both ends. 130 NM transferring power 8KW.
4.2. Construct on and work of BALTIMATIC
®
Hay Tedder
It is a 3 point hitched machine, getting power from PTO shaft.
The layout of 3 point hitched points is acc. To norm ISO 730 1 & AC1: 1996.
BALTIMATIC
®Hay tedder is built from frame (1) to which are fixed working
assemblies/components. Working components are rotating elements (2) to which are fixed arms (3)
with doubled spring fingers (4). The power for rotating elements is coming via PTO shaft, pulleys
and V belts. Belt pulley with spring fingers rotate in opposite direction. Spring fingers touch the cut
grass / straw turning it. Support wheels (5) are following the ground to ensure even ground
clearance for spring fingers. To the frame of machine are bolted safety barriers (8) preventing
access to rotating working elements. To barriers are welded clamps (9) for fixing lights warning
plates (10) and triangle plate (11) (ACC. TO NOMR PN 93/r 36154

4.5 Preparat on of tractor to work w th BALTIMATIC
®
hay tedder
Preparation of tractor to work with BALTIMATIC
®Hay Tedder should be made in
accordance to general instruction in owners manual for the tractor.
Lift arm pins on the tractor should be adjusted to same height as the lift arm pins on the
tedder. That will make it easier to mount BALTIMATIC
®tedder to tractor.
4.6Preparat on of mach ne for work
Check BALTIMATIC
® tedder that it is in correct technical condition.
Check bolt connections of springs to arms
Check bolt connections of arms to belt pulley
Check springs for wear and broken springs
In case of worn or damaged springs these must be replaced
Check condition of V belt, if damaged or worn out it should be
Replaced with a new one.
Check the tension of V Belt. Belt must not be loose.
If regulation of tension is necesserary it can be done by nut (3) on
drawing 3. The slack of the V belt between belt pulley and tightnere
should be approx 6’ when a force of 110 lbs is applied to the V belt.
Checking if support wheels are turning slightly, without stopping
Mount PTO shaft on machine.
Remember every time before wor , to chec technical
condition of spring fingers, bolt connections of springs to
arms and bolt connections of arms to belt pulley.

Hay Tedder to tractor
Mounting of BALTIMATIC
®Hay Tedder to tractor should be done in following steps:
Disassembled draw bar from lower lift arms. Drive tractor close to frame of Hay Tedder
Stop tractor, use hand brake, turn off tractor engine and take out tractor key.
Mount top link to top of 3 point hitch on tedder and secure by using linch pins. Lift up lift
arm supports of frame on tedder – mount these to lift arms on tractor and secure by linch
pins. Tighten side chains of lower lift arms on the tractor.
Mount PTO shaft to BALTIMATIC
®Hay tedder and to tractor. ( Tractor side on shaft is
outside pipe, Tedder side on shaft is inside pipe).
Secure chains of shield of PTO shaft to shield of machine shaft and tractor.
ATTENTION it is prohibited to mount hay tedder to tractor
at the same time tractor us running. Turn off tractor and
remove ey prior connecting

4.8 ADJUSTMENT OF BALTIMATIC
®
TEDDER
Before operation and working with
BALTIMATIC
®tedder it is necessary to make proper
adjustments of the tedder. Correct adjustments of spring fingers and adjustments of working
angel of the rotors.The control of correct adjustment of spring fingers should be done at the
same time when damaged spring fingers are replaced or tightened. In order to adjust finger
correctly it is necessary to use 90 degree angel bar (pos. 1 on draw. 4) In order to make
regulation please make loose on fixing bolt (4 on drawing 4) Put angel bar on rotor arm acc.
to drawing 4. Distance from end of spring finger to the range of angle bar should be from
1½” – 4” (40 up to 100mm). Fingers should be adjusted equally on all arms of both rotors.
Draw ng 4.
Correct adjustment of spr ng f ngers:
1 – angel bar
2 – rotor arm
3 – spr ng washer
4 – nut bolt
5 – spr ng f nger
In order to achieve the proper working angel of rotors from the ground, it is necessary to
adjust toplink on tractor whereby the front spring fingers on the rotors will be situated
1 / 4” – 1 / 3” (4 – 10) mm over the ground.
4.9 – operat on of BALTIMATIC
®
hay tedder
Newly cut grass is after been cut laying on the ground on the field – sometimes in a
windrow. In the drying process the grass is tedded 3 4 times during a day. Tedding should be
done during weather condition where the humidity is low. Frequent tedding enables the grass
to dry quicker.
BALTIMATIC
®Hay Tedder should enter the windrow of grass only when
full RPM of the working rotors is achieved (rotation speed of tractor shaft 540 rpm).
During work it is recommended to find level of RPM on engine which will give speed in range of 6
12 km/h and which will give RPM of engine which refers to nominal rotation of PTO shaft. Speed
should be selected dependly on land condition and the quantity of grass/straw in the windrow. All
material, which makes the machine to clough, should be removed when Hay Tedder is in lower
position (on ground) and engine of tractor is OFF
