Pa bought one of those when I was a kid. The dealer convinced him that it would do three jobs, green chop, chop corn stalks and, crimp hay. It did a great job as a green chopper and stalk chopper. We used it many years. If you were using a low tractor like a 430 Case while chopping corn stalks, it would throw cobs and large chucks of stalks out the front and they would hit the back of your legs. If it was a cold day , that would about put tears in your eyes. With a higher tractor they would zing by under the axle. Now for the hay crimper. You opened the rear door and flipped a lever, same with corn stalks, and it would throw the hay out the rear. Dealer said move right along at low rpm and it would do a great job. We used and Oliver 880 4th gear and 4th notch on the throttle. We had the best alfalfa stems you ever saw. It knocked about every leaf off. The next year pa bought a crimper. You couldn't plug it up. On a rainy day the neighbor's JD would plug. With that open front you would think it wouldn't throw but it would pitch the grass to the back of the bunk feeder with no problem. Sold it to a neighbor years ago and it' still working.
