Description
The Vermeer TE1710 4-Basket Tedder is a durable haymaking implement designed to spread and condition cut forage across a 17 ft (5.2 m) tedding width. Its four-basket layout, staggered-length hook tines, hydraulic toolless basket adjustment, and large flotation tires help support efficient field work and consistent ground following. Built with a heavy-duty solid frame, reinforced tongue, and radial pin clutch protection, the TE1710 is suited to hay operations requiring a dependable tedder with a 34 hp PTO requirement and 540 rpm PTO drive.
Efficient Four-Basket Hay Tedding
With four baskets and six tine arms per basket, the Vermeer TE1710 is configured to cover a 17 ft (5.2 m) working width. The staggered-length hook tines support effective forage handling across the full tedding path, while the large tires help the machine follow ground contours and provide flotation in field conditions.
Hydraulic, toolless basket-angle and height adjustment allows convenient changes to the basket setup without requiring tools. This adjustment capability helps operators configure the tedder for field conditions and operating preferences while keeping setup straightforward.
Built for Protection and Durability
The TE1710 features heavy-duty solid-frame construction and a reinforced tongue for a robust working platform. A radial pin clutch helps protect the driveline and center gearbox from damaging torque loads, supporting dependable operation during haymaking work.
