LELY SPLENDIMO LELY LOTUS Insights on drying Rapid wilting retains the quality. Dry matter content is decisive for optimum conservation. Treat your forage gently. Chop for efficient rumination. Ensure a rapid start of the fermentation process. Keep oxygen out and quality in.

The wettest crop on top for fast and consistent drying Thanks to the position and shape of the unique Lely hook tines, the crop is thrown high and far behind the machine. A wet crop is heavier and is thrown farther away so that it lands on top of the drier crop; this guarantees an excellent tedding action.

LELY LOTUS Low rpm; extra benefit If tedding is done too aggressively, the loss of crop material can be seen immediately by all the dust that is thrown up. This is to do with the effect of the tedder tines on the crop. Decisive factors are: rotation speed of the tines, their position as well as the amount of steel that is in contact with the crop. Due to the trailing tine position the crop material gains speed more gradually than those tedders fitted with straight tines. The tedder is ideally operated between 400 and 450 rpm. Due to the nature of the hook tines there is less crop contact...

Lotus hook tine + stability = speed Lely Lotus tedders have a far higher output than competitive machines. This is notably due to the Lotus hook tine and its ability to adjust quickly and to move large volumes of grass. That is not the end of the story, though; the tedder itself also needs to be able to ensure a high working speed.

LELY SPLENDIMO LELY LOTUS Swaying A frequently occurring problem with tedders that only have one single pivoting point and shock absorbers that are prone to wear is ‘swaying’. At speeds above 6 km/h these types of tedders tend to be put out of balance by unevenness in the field or by large differences in the crop. This means: having to stop and then carrying on. Evidently, output is then seriously affected. Stabilo – guaranteed non-stop output Mounted Lotus tedders do not have this problem because they are firmly controlled by the Stabilo steering system. Instead of only one pivoting point,...

Lely Lotus – durable, heavy duty construction ensures a long life span and a high residual value It is generally known that Lotus tedders have a high trade-in value. This is due not only to the unrivalled output for which the machines are well known, but without doubt also to the durable construction of the tedders. Lotus tedders have an outstandingly reliable drive system, which in recent years – just like the well thought-out frame construction – has been continually improved. Heavy drive line Both the trailed and mounted tedders feature reliable and proven drive systems. The pivoting...
