General Information:
The Bauman Hay Fluffer Tedder is designed to gently lift and release hay with minimum leaf damage.
This machine is designed to fluff hay, forage crops or straw only. Bauman will not cover under
warranty a tedder that has been used outside of these crops. The operator must read and understand
all the information in this manual to make sure that you operate the machine correctly and thus avoid
unnecessary risk of accidents and breakdowns. Always stop the tractor engine before you adjust,
lubricate, or repair the machine. Remember to remove the ignition key to make sure no one starts the
tractor while you are repairing the machine. Never under any circumstances let anyone get close to or
stay close to the machine while in operation.
Attachment / Setup / Adjustment:
Always use a tractor that is at least twice the weight of the tedder. When attaching to the draw bar
always use a draw pin with a safety clip to avoid the draw pin bouncing out and the tedder
disconnecting from the tractor. When attaching the PTO shaft to the tractor make sure that the PTO
yoke push pin is engaged properly. REMEMBER!! The power take-
off shaft’s safety shield must be
undamaged when operating the machine. If necessary, change the safety shield.
Hydraulic lift and/or drive: attach hoses to the hydraulic outlets. Ensure proper hose engagement and
the hoses are secured away from the drawbar or 3-point hitch arms and that the hoses are in good
condition and free of damage. (note: Never run your hand over a hose that you suspect may be
damaged as serious injury may occur). Attach a safety chain to the machine.
Transporting the Machine:
Never allow riders on the tractor or on the machine. Remain fully aware of the width of the tedder in
relation to objects you are passing. Always follow local traffic laws regarding the transporting of farm
equipment. Be sure the slow-moving vehicle sign is always visible. Never travel on the road at night.
Your machine is not equipped with lights.
For machines with hydraulic reel lift ALWAYS put the two mechanical stops to the top position for
transporting as see in
Figure 2 - Turnbuckle and Hyd. Lift Stop
. This will set the reel to maximum height
to reduce chance of tines being damaged.
Field Setup:
Do not make any adjustments to the tedder unless the tractor is shut off
and the PTO/Hydraulic is disengaged. To obtain optimum hay fluffing
,
tractor engine RPM should range from 1200
–1500 and travel speed
from 5-7 mph . Going over recommended engine RPM may cause
damage to the machine and void your warranty. To obtain optimum hay
fluffing on the hydraulic drive version; the tractor engine RPM should be
1500 to 1700 RPM to ensure maximum oil flow to the tedder & set the
hydraulic flow valve to the middle position (#5) and adjust speed + or
– to
achieve the desired reel speed. NOTE - optimum desired operating speed for the hydraulic or PTO
drive version requires the reel speed to be approximately 20% faster than ground speed. To adjust
the tooth or tine angle, disengage the PTO/hydraulics and shut off the tractor, then on the right-hand
side of the machine lift spring pin and move lever to the desired location. The + symbol will move the
tooth to a more aggressive position that will throw the crop higher and the - symbol will do the
opposite.
