tedding direction

When you ted do you go the same direction as the hay was cut. I tedded hay yesterday and we got a light shower .1" top was dry but under was wet and green. Tedded same direction and fluffed it up nice but the spread was not as even. Tried slowing down with more pto rpms and faster with less not much difference. Could the hay have been to dry? We cut 3rd cutting alfalfa this morning and when I ran the tedder on that spread real well going the same direction as cut.just looking for suggestions

thanks

Jeff
