I made hat for years and cannot understand that. NO WAY does a crimper or crusher make short pieces. Either type just makes the stem more flexiable. I have had different crimpers and crushers and you can tell handling a bale if it was unconditioned or conditioned. Now if your hay is a soft stem like lawn grass it is different. We had alfalfa, red clover and tinithey. If that ctimped stem is easier on your hand when you pick up the bale it naturaly would be easirt on the cows mouth. Used 2 different type crimper rolls, and 2 sifferent crushers before got a mower-conditioner. And at times we would go back over the swath a second time with a conditioner. And we did have a tedder and used it a lot. Now if you are talking a flail type conditioner that I have never seen that could make short pieces like running the hay rhru a flail forage harvester like used for green chopping. Those flails are a knife so I can see that making short pieces but NOT a normal crimper or crusher. A crimper has like coragated steel roller runing together to break the stems at intervilles from every 1 inch up to every 2 inches while a crusher id like two smooth rollers running together and just mashing the steem breaking both sides. So neither can make short pieces. I believe if you could have a bale of each of a conditioned and one of unconditioned hay, exactly same hay the coes would take the conditioned bale first over the unconditioned bale for one reason and that is easier to get in their mouth.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
