[QUOTE="simme, post: 1817231, member: 40418"] The roller type crushes the stems. The fail/impeller type beats the stems and leaves. I can't speak for alfalfa, but for a crop with large diameter high moisture stems like sorghum-sudangrass, the roller type will crush the stems and give a better dry down. The clearance is adjustable on the fail/impeller type for different crop conditions. But still not best for big stem like sorghum-sudangrass. If adjusted to try to get more stem action, they end up shredding everything. The flail type won't plug like a roller type might in heavy conditions. Comments are based on a JD 530 flail type compared to an old NH interlocking roller type. [/QUOTE]
