Tedder (machine)
A tedder (also called hay tedder) is a machine used in haymaking. It is used after cutting and before windrowing, and uses moving forks to aerate or "wuffle" the hay and thus speed up the process of hay-making. The use of a tedder allows the hay to dry ("cure") better, which results in improved aroma and color.
==History==
The tedder came into use in the second half of the nineteenth century.〔 p. 239.〕 While Charles Wendel claims in his ''Encyclopedia of American farm implements & antiques'' that the machine wasn't introduced to the United States until the 1880s, there are enough indications that the tedder was in use in the 1860s—''The New York Times'' reports on its efficacy in 1868,〔 and in that same year the Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture in Maine comments on the American-made Hubbard's hay tedder, which had been on the market since 1863; according to the Maine report, in 1859 the machine was "an implement lately imported from England."
The action of the tedder is described, in the late 19th and early 20th century, as being used to "stir" or "scatter"〔Mr. George Clark of Higganum, speaking before the Connecticut State Board of Agriculture in December 1903, insisted that the tedder is a heaping machine rather than a spreading machine. p. 147.〕 cut hay in the field.
