Alfalfa and other stemmy crops usually respond well to extra conditioning. AGCO actually offers windrower headers with two pairs of conditioning rolls which in many conditions can save a day on the dry-down - these double-conditioner headers are quite popular in alfalfa-growing regions in the west. Grass hay doesn't typically have the stem structure that is affected much by crimping so with those crops laying it out wide and fluffy is the best option. I've always been intrigued by how vital tedders obviously are for eastern farmers (to get that wide and fluffy spread) - for over 20 years I've worked with hay producers all over the western US and have never once seen a tedder as part of the operation. It seems that when it comes to various farming practices the production of hay has more differences based on geography than most other operations. Forums like this are a neat way to see how differently the same basic farming job is done in various parts of the country (and world, for that matter).
