[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1640583, member: 27848"] If you are running grass, like Ky 31 crimp not necessary. If you are running anything with a stem (Haygrazer type products for sure) you really are shooting yourself in the foot if you don't crimp. I recently got back into sicklebar (small investment) MOCOs to get the crimp integral to the cutter and to get a cutter that left some stubble. Had several JDs and a couple of NH over the years. The current machine is a Ford 538 and the rollers are made from 12 ply (give or take) tire discs, cut with the up down pattern of crimpers in general, then packed tightly on a steel shaft. The cutter is a 1988 model and the rollers look like new....one of the reasons I chose the Ford brand......"cutter" type vs flail since I have no rocks and land is pretty level. [/QUOTE]
