Description
When your haybob starts sounding rough or the tines aren't moving smoothly, worn pivot bushes are usually the culprit. These little parts take a beating—spinning constantly while fluffing and turning hay, dealing with dust, moisture, and the inevitable debris that comes with fieldwork. A worn bush means sloppy tine action, more vibration, and uneven tedding that can cost you hay quality.
What You're Getting
- Precision-machined bush that restores smooth pivot operation for consistent tine movement
- Durable bearing material designed to handle the constant rotation and field conditions
- Exact fit replacement that matches original equipment specifications
- Proper clearances that reduce wear on other tedder components
Built for Real Farm Work
This bush fits the PZ Haybob TH42 tedder/rake made by Zweegers, one of those compact but hardworking machines that's perfect for smaller operations. These haybobs are popular because they can tedder wet hay to speed drying, then flip over to rake it into windrows—all with one machine. Whether you're making first-cut grass hay or trying to save a crop before weather moves in, smooth tine operation is critical.
Made to Last
Quality bushes make a real difference in how your tedder performs and how long it lasts. When bushes wear out, you get excessive play that beats up the tine assemblies and creates vibration throughout the machine. This replacement restores proper clearances and reduces stress on other components, helping your haybob run smoother and last longer.
Good to Know
Replacing worn bushes is straightforward maintenance that pays off in better hay quality and reduced repair costs down the road. Check for excessive play in the tine assemblies during pre-season service—if there's noticeable wobble or binding, it's time for new bushes. Keep a few spares on hand since they're wear items that'll need replacing over time.
