Our 13' disc conditioner will leave up to a 10' wide swath which does speed drying over a narrow windrow but it comes at the cost of bleaching more of the hay. For your own use bleaching isn't a big deal but on the alfalfa we are selling I'm going to lay down a narrow swath even if it takes half a day longer to dry. I will also make adjustments depending on the weather forcast, with forcast of sunny weather and no wind I'll lay it out wide but if I can get a good breeze I'll lay out a narrow but tall windrow so the wind can blow through it. I know they say that direct sunlight does most of the drying but I think a 10-15 mph breeze and clouds will dry hay almost as fast and leave me with better quality hay.
