    INTRODUCTION Intended Use Frontier Tedders are designed for evenly distributing and drying hay crops only. Frontier will not cover under warranty a tedder that has been used outside of these crops. Serial Number The tedder’s serial number can be found on the right side tongue directly under the driveline.
  • Page 5: Safety

    Be constantly aware of the ends of the machine to avoid collision with other objects. When transporting the machine on public roads use the proper reflectors, lights, and slow moving vehicle signs required by local government agencies. Frontier will not be liable for any traffic violations.
  • Page 6: Driveline Safety

    SAFETY Stay Clear of Rotating Drivelines TS1644-UN-22AUG95 H96219-UN-29APR10 Entanglement in rotating driveline can cause serious injury or death. Keep tractor master shield and driveline shields in place at all times. Make sure rotating shields turn freely. Wear close fitting clothing. Stop the engine and be sure that PTO driveline is stopped before making adjustments, connections, or cleaning out PTO driven equipment.
  • Page 7: Safety Decals And Reflectors

    SAFETY Safety Decals and Reflectors Safety decals and reflectors are for the safety of yourself and others, and must be heeded at all times. If any decals are missing, faded, or damaged in any way, please contact your dealer for replacements immediately.
  • Page 8: Hitching

    PTO stand down against the tongue to avoid damage to the PTO shaft shielding. The TD2427 is equipped with hydraulic cylinders to fold the machine for transport. The hoses should be connected to a double acting valve at the rear of the tractor. The slotted holes on the side of the tongue (Figure 1) are storage holes for the hoses Connect the wiring plug from the tedder into the female plug end on the tractor.
  • Page 9: Transporting

    Adhere the suggestions for field transport listed above. ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL TRAFFIC LAWS IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSPORTING OF FARM EQUIPMENT. FRONTIER WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR FINES INCURRED DUE TO TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS. Do not exceed 20 MPH on any public road. Excessive speeds combined with common road ob- structions can cause failures.
  • Page 10: Field Set-Up

    FIELD SET UP To lower the tedder into tedding position engage the hydraulics for the tilt cylinder first to raise the wings off of the chassis then engage the main hydraulics to unfold the wings. Be sure that nobody is around the tedder or the tractor as the wings are lowering. The tines and arms can cause serious injury to anybody that it comes into contact with.
  • Page 11: Adjustments

    ADJUSTMENTS Tine Pitch Adjustments Figure 8 Figure 7 The tine pitch (the angle of the tine in relation to the tine arm) can be adjust- ed by reversing the eccentric spacer washer. The spacer position in Figure 7 will give the tine a less aggressive position as shown in Figure 8. The spacer position shown in Figure 9 will give the tine a more aggressive position as shown in Figure 10.
  • Page 12: Axle Adjustments

    ADJUSTMENTS Axle Adjustments The angle of the axles can be adjusted to raise or lower the whole machine. This will allow you to tilt the tedder forward more and get a more aggres- sive tedding action. The tedders are set at the fac- tory to run in the less aggressive position (shown at right).
  • Page 13: General Operation

    GENERAL OPERATION DO NOT BEGIN OPERATION UNTIL ALL OF THE SAFETY WARNINGS HAVE BEEN READ AND UNDERSTOOD! Once all of the adjustments and initial set up instructions have been followed and the proper adjustments made, the tedder is ready to operate in the field. Connect the tedder PTO shaft to the tractor by pulling the spring collar back and sliding the shaft yoke onto the 6 splined tractor PTO shaft.
  • Page 14: Lubrication And Maintenance

    LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE NEVER PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS OR INSPECTIONS ON ANY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT UNLESS THE TRACTOR IS SHUT OFF AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE MACHINE. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO WORK WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHEN MAINTAINING OR SERVICING A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED AND HELP CAN BE ATTAINED EASIER WHEN ANOTHER PERSON IS AVAILABLE TO HELP.
  • Page 15: General Lubrication

    LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE FILL PLUGS The rotor gearboxes are packed at the factory with Cas- trol Number NLGI #2 EP Grease. This is a grease with a high resistance to water and will not dry out or be- come caked. Check the gearboxes periodically to make sure the gears are coated with grease and add more as needed.
  • Page 16: Grease Fitting Lubrication

    LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE The wheel bearings are sealed bear- ings and should be greased periodi- cally but can be overgreased. Once per season should be adequate. The transport lock slide should be greased regularly and should be kept visibly wet with grease. The sliding shaft should be cleaned periodically to prevent buildup that would prevent it from sliding smoothly.
  • Page 17: Pto Lubrication

    LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE PTO Shaft Lubrication The radial pin clutch and the center cross in the PTO yokes should be greased every 8 hours. The plastic PTO shielding should be lubricated at all times. If the shield feels tight when it is extended and re- tracted then lubricate as necessary.
  • Page 18: Wheel Bearing Maintenance

    LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE As is the case with any piece of new equipment, periodically check for loose bolts and nuts. Paint and parts settling after the initial vibrations are common and can cause bolts or nuts to loosen. Check the following parts frequently: •...
