Paddon have imported and distributed the Sitrex range of tedders since 1999. During this time many have been sold to contractors and farmers all over NZ. Since initially only importing the one 5.2 metre model (which is still presently available) we have added four wider models which all share common parts with the original 5.2 metre machine. As they are built for tedding heavy green crops, they are built using heavy duty gearboxes, tines, tine arms and a heavy frame to hold it all together. All machines come standard with a floating headstock which allows the machine to follow contours and corners without stressing the machine. Sitrex tedders are available in both hydraulic and manual fold.
rT5200

This is an ideal machine that will easily cover over 5 metres and can be operated by any tractor over 40hp. The heaviest of lumps that may be present in the crop will be spread evenly with ease. The four large flotation wheels help the machine travel smoothly in rough conditions.
rT5800

The larger RT5800 will generally spread two 3 metre or even 3.2 metre rows with one pass. This machine can also be handled with a tractor over 50hp. The 8mm wall RHS chassis and a extra heavy duty headstock handles the extra width of this machine with strength to spare.
ST780

The ST780 is available in both 3 point mounted and trailing versions. A very heavily constructed machine designed for spreading heavy green silage crops. Each of the six rotors are able to float up or down independently making them an ideal machine when operating in rolling to flat conditions. This large amount of float is achieved by using 90 degree constant drive joints on the drive shafts of each rotor. The ST780 uses extra heavy 40mm x 16mm tine arms and 11mm tines. On the trailing machine, a tandem wheel set up is used on the middle two rotors which allows the machine to follow contours with ease.
