Large tedders can be challenging to transport. Luckily, most tedders fold together, towards the hitch, at the wheels, which makes it a little easier to load, transport, and unload them. Large tedders usually travel upright on trailers, often exceeding the height limits of standard trailers, but tedding equipment may also travel while tied down horizontally.
Regardless of whether your tedder will travel in an upright or horizontal position, an RGN trailer is one of the best trailer types to work with for equipment transport of this type. The drop-down neck of RGN trailers allows loaders to safely back the tedder aboard the trailer using your tractor equipment, using the detachable front end as a ramp. Past the detachable section for the RGN trailer transport, there is a double drop formation that provides an extra 12 inches of payload space. Compared to flatbed trailers, which can only transport equipment up to 8.5 ft. tall, RGN trailers can transport much taller equipment. Extended RGN trailers can also be used to transport tedders horizontally, or if a standard RGN trailer length is unsuitable for your model.
Loading and unloading is the most challenging part of the transport process, as most tedders have multiple easily accessible tie-down points that can be quickly secured. Before transporting a tedder, make sure the equipment is mud-free and as clean as possible so that loading crews can easily reach tie-down points to secure the vehicle.
