[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1591342, member: 27848"] A stand alone crimper, for the crops requiring crimping, pull type is a New Holland 404. Popular before the advent of the MOwer COnditioner available back in the 1960's like the JD 1207 (7 ft) or 1209 (9 ft for larger equipment). I find that unless you are cutting Sudan-Sorghum "Haygrazer" type crops, the tedder works very well as a "crimper" even though it's main task is scattering hay. The tines rotate at a reasonably high speed and when they smack the clippings, inertia in the tine overcomes the resistance of the stem of the grass lying on the ground and causes it to "kink", thus allowing an exit point for moisture. Going out to a field that has been teddered and picking up a stem of grass like would be with Dallisgrass, or Fescue, or Rye, or such, you will find half a dozen cracks in one stem. Spend your money on the tedder and forget the crimper. [/QUOTE]
