Fixed chamber balers knock off a ton of leaves. There is a bunch of research that says backs it up. For grass I'd say okay, but I'd let my hay get rained on before using one on alfalfa.

I think that's absolute bull, and moreso with the newer Claas balers with the variable chamber. With those balers the bale is only tumbling for a very short period of time before it starts to spin. Even the older machines only tumble the bale for a bit before it fills the chamber. Once it does that it spins and compresses so I can't see why there would be any more leaf loss from there on in, and I don't think it's much at the start either. You can look at ANY baler and see leaf loss as the buildup is there on the machine. I haven't noticed any more on mine than any other.
I would question the credibility of the research that suggests higher leaf loss.
