THE HOOK TINE ADVANTAGE
Below: Clean crop pick up. Excellent ground-contouring. Vermeer hook
tines are better able to adapt and follow the ground because they operate
in a trailed position, picking up and turning the crop – short or long –
cutting and baling to shorten drying times and reduce
while avoiding crop contamination from excessive digging. This unique

design allows you to more effectively hit the low spots between rotors.
Check out the Vermeer TE-series tedders with their
patented hook tine design.
Why hook tine tedders? TE-series hook tine tedders
offer three important benefits – high-performance

tedding action, high-volume output and
outstanding durability.
Because of the unique configuration and the special
angle of the hook tine, Vermeer TE-series tedders
pick up and spread larger amounts of crop than
conventional tedders with straight tines and they create
an unprecedented “bottoms-up” tedding action that
rotates the hay for better dry down consistency. And it’s
all handled by a tine that’s considerably more flexible

and specially positioned to handle higher speeds and
output with minimal tine damage.
2 Hook tines are built to last and are the only ones in the field today with a 3-year limited
warranty. The specially coiled hook tine design is more flexible, and because it rotates at a
trailed angle, tine breakage is minimized.
3 The hook gives you better grip of the crop. It allows you to decrease RPMs and minimize leaf
loss while still dispersing the crop evenly for more consistent dry down. Even the wet, lumpy

efficiency. That means fewer passes through the field,
lower fuel costs and more acres. And you’re able to do it
in less time with a high-production 12-rotor workhorse
that handles like other tedders half its size. And it’s easy

to transport from field to field. Unique carted framework
and the front-folding rotors along the drawbar provide
fast folding/unfolding and stable transport with a low
transport height and center of gravity.

2 TE-series tedders provide curved wheel supports and an anti-wrap plate that combine to help
prevent downed crop material from wrapping around wheels. This minimizes buildup and
damage to wheels and bearings caused by tightly wrapped crops.
3 Easily adjust rotor angle in seconds using an integrated handle. This allows you to maximize
the sweeping arc on the ground and precisely handle different crops and field conditions.
Heavy, wet swaths require a steeper angle; shorter and drier crops, a lower angle.
4 Great stability and flex. Rugged frame construction provides the stability. Cut-out clutch
provides drive component protection. Rotors hydraulically lift when folding for transport.

The exclusive hook tine is just one of several major
advantages. Another one is the way Vermeer TE-

series tedders handle! Wide-angle universal joints at
frame pivot points allow flex along the entire driveline.
Hydraulic lift, fold and unfold make it simple and easy
to operate – and help reduce transport widths to less
than 10 ft (3 m) wide. Constant velocity u-joints make
tight turns possible.

And, you have three additional models to choose from:
TE330 with eight rotors – 33.5 ft (10.2 m) tedding width.
TE250 with six rotors – 25 ft (7.6 m) tedding width.
TE170 with four rotors – 17 ft (5.2 m) tedding width.

1 The 4-rotor TE170 is ideal for smaller operations. During operation, its low center of gravity
provides excellent stability, particularly on slopes. Vertical hydraulic fold makes it quick and
easy to transport.
2 The 6-rotor TE250 – with up to 25 ft (7.6 m) of tedding action – is fast, simple, compact and
ideal for mid-size operations. During transport, the front-folding rotor frame is positioned
horizontally along the drawbar, locked and supported. Dedicated transport tires and cart make
it easy and stable for towing.

lock when folding in, and can be dis-engaged by pulling a rope from the tractor seat.
