Description
The Farm King RT17 Vortex is a four-rotor tedder with a 17-foot working width. Six tine arms on each rotor spread and aerate the swath, helping expose damp material before raking and baling.
The pull-type frame folds hydraulically to 9 feet 2 inches for transport. Hydraulic tilt is available on the RT17, allowing the operator to change the operating angle from the tractor, while flexible tines lift and distribute the crop across the full width.

The RT17 is the narrower of Farm King's two four-rotor models, covering 17 feet and folding to 9 feet 2 inches. For many operations, the choice comes down to how quickly the acres need to be covered and whether the wider RT19 will fit the normal road, gate, and storage route.
