A roller crimper is definitely the way to go on hybrid Sudan. But I've cut a bunch with a drum mower. Just need a good stretch of brutal hot dry weather, not to hard to find here. I don't like beating to much with the rake. Especially after a few days. You will loose all your leaves when they get dry enough to shatter...my procedure is to cut it and forget it for about 3 days then turn it over and give it 2-3 days more. Then bring it together early in the morning when its damp from dew and do it nice and easy. Bale that afternoon or the next.
