The TE1710 is built to handle the rigors of the hay season with a focus on consistent performance. With a 17-foot working width, this tedder features four rotors, each equipped with six heavy-duty hooked tines. The hooked design is a hallmark of Vermeer’s tedder line, providing a more aggressive "toss" that picks up heavy, matted crop and flips it thoroughly to ensure the bottom of the windrow gets as much air as the top.
Operating the TE1710 is straightforward, requiring minimal horsepower and simple hydraulic hookups. The machine features a radial pin clutch on the driveline to protect the gearboxes from sudden shock loads or obstacles in the field. To ensure the machine follows the ground accurately, the TE1710 is equipped with large, wide-profile tires that provide stability and reduce ground pressure, preventing the rotors from digging into the soil and contaminating the hay with dirt.
Transporting the unit is safe and efficient. The TE1710 hydraulically folds into a compact vertical position, making it narrow enough to navigate through 10-foot gates and stable enough for transport at road speeds. With its rugged box-frame construction and maintenance-friendly design, the TE1710 is a reliable tool for any producer looking to beat the weather and get their hay off the ground faster.
