2026 Vermeer® Tedders TE485

Tedding has spread across the country as an efficient way to speed up the dry-down time of hay. By rethinking the way hay tedders are used and built, Vermeer designed new tedders to combine heavy-duty performance, ease of use, transport and maintenance.

• Helps ensure quicker dry down, efficient operation and easy adjustments

• Impressive 48.5 ft (14.8 m) tedding width

• Get ready for long-term reliability and exceptional strength

Features may include:

Help shorten your dry-down time with hook tines that help improve nutrient retention, reduce the risk of weather damage and allow for quicker turnaround for subsequent cuttings.

Traveling from field to field isn’t a problem — even with a 48.5-ft (14.8-m) tedding width. The TE485 tedder’s compact footprint when folded makes maneuvering and storage convenient

Large flotation tires ensure smooth travel down the road and between fields.

Experience efficient operation and minimized time performing maintenance with a finger joint coupling system at the hinges between wing sections.

Simplify the critical task of setting your basket angle with hydraulic angle adjustment. This system allows you to adjust the basket angle directly from the cab, eliminating the need for manual adjustments to save you time and effort.

Heavy-duty square tubing on the frame, large diameter tine arms and tough castings for gearboxes and gears, the TE485 tedder is ready to provide reliable operation for the long haul.

Operators can be confident in the robust design of the large, durable tine arms that provide exceptional strength and reliability, ensuring secure support for hook tines.

Finger joints remain connected even when wings are folded 90 degrees ensuring reliable performance and maximized durability.
