Description
English: Illustration of a swathe turner for hay (a.k.a. kicker, tedder) made by Blackstone & Co., Ltd. – This implement was the first prize winner at the Royal Agricultural Society's trials (1907). It took two swathes at a time. The working part consisted of a wheel or circle of prongs or tines, which revolved across the line of the swathe. Each prong in turn catched the edge of the swathe of grass and kicked it up and over, thus turning it and leaving it loose for the wind to blow through. (Encyclopædia Britannica)
