bitty 4,939 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Lots of difference between what rake or tedder you have. A 256 roll-bar NH compared to a twin rotor Claas takes a much different minimum tractor required. We have a 2 star tedder and then we have a 10 star and the latter is semi mounted and can push a 1066 on the hills. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acem 1,175 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 What is a 10 star rake? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bitty 4,939 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 3 hours ago, acem said: What is a 10 star rake? It has 10 rotors . Years ago back when a 9' mower was mainly what was available it was referred to a one row tedder if it was two rotors. Now since there are mostly wider mowers the tedders and referred to as a 2 star , 4 star etc. Technically they are sold as X amount of meters of effective working width. Our 10 star is around 36'? or 11 meters if I remember correctly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stronger800 735 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 My six star is 27’ I believe. Covers three rows out of a 10’ mower. My neighbor has an 8 star, different brand and it’s only 2 or 2.5’ wider. Just like rakes, some stars are bigger than others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

acem 1,175 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I also prefer no canopy so I can stand up while I drive. I get more airflow that way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
