Hey Bean welcome to YT. I do not know what a spike tooth cylinder will do in Alfalfa seed but with our conventional rasp bar cylinder machines namely an IH 403 I will tell you this. When we cut the seed it came in the bin in sort of a flowery bud that looked sort of like granola cereal. We would dump that in a wagon maybe a foot or less deep. Then shovel it around in there daily to dry it down, probably a few weeks. Then we ran it through an old IH belt driven hammer mill. I do not think the tractor was running much above idle, but enough to get the broken down hulls and seed up the blower pipe into the dust cyclone and down onto another trailer. Then that was run through the Clipper ..fanning mill.. seed cleaner to produce the final product.

I am sure you probably will, but I would suggest plenty of YouTube study on this before you proceed. Where is your location I know where a possible parts machine is located.
