IronCraft T417: 17′ Four-Basket Pull-Type Hay Tedder

The IronCraft T417 is a high-productivity 17-foot Four-Basket Hay Tedder engineered for tractors with at least 50 PTO horsepower. This professional-grade implement is designed to maximize forage quality by significantly reducing drying times, ensuring your hay is ready for the baler before the weather turns.

Featuring a robust four-rotor configuration and an articulated frame, the T417 excels at following ground contours for clean, consistent performance. With its hydraulic wing fold system, this tedder transitions from a wide 17′ working path to a compact 9.8′ transport width in seconds, making it ideal for operators moving between multiple fields.

High-Efficiency Forage Drying Features

• Expansive 17′ Working Width: Cover more acreage in fewer passes, increasing field efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.
• Four-Rotor Distribution System: Equipped with four independent rotors, each featuring 6 high-strength tine arms to fluff and spread heavy windrows evenly.
• Hydraulic Wing Fold: Conveniently fold the outer baskets from the tractor cab for safe road transport and narrow gate clearance.
• Superior Ground Adaptation: The articulated frame and 4 large-diameter 16 x 6.5-8 flotation tires allow the baskets to float over uneven terrain, preventing soil contamination.
