What does TEDDER mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A farm machine with rotating tines that lifts and spreads cut grass so that it dries into hay.
The tedder takes its name from the old verb ted, meaning to scatter mown grass to dry. Pulled behind a tractor, it fluffs the swaths in the field so that air reaches every part of the crop. A farmer who skips this step risks damp, mouldy hay, which is why the tedder became a standard tool of haymaking.
