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 - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
