TS135A DRIVER Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Jezz I have not seen one of these turners for ages now. They were popular in the 70's but they also had a bad habit of throwing stones they encountered into the air. Recall a story about a chap on an MF 165 who lost his windscreen while baling hay behind a Fanted one day. Gave him the fright of his life when glass broke.

Deere-est Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 me neither, they were all the rage round here for hay and straw back in the day. An old boy who farmed a few acres with a DB995 upgraded from an Acrobat to one of these in the 90's!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 We had a new one from Barnes' of Bodle Street to replace a Vicon Speeder tedder (similar, but unshrouded tedder that only kicked backwards & had steel coil tines that broke easily on the ridge & furrow meadows of the farm we bought in the late 60's, so we must have had it about 8 yrs before replacing it with the PZ Haybob in '77. The Vicon Fan-Ted lifted the crop up & over with "Airflow Action" and the tines were on a rubberised canvas mount that pretty-well eliminated any breakages and hence baler damage. We always harrowed & rolled our hayfields in the spring so never had any stone damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
