kyhayman,
If I understand correctly, I just need to disc mow the alphalfa (8 acres, so about 4 or 5 hours at most) and then as soon as I finish, start teddering where I started mowing? We have a 163 NH tedder, so that is not a problem. I need any information you have about growing alphalfa, this will be our first year. We are going to grow a mix of timothy grass and alphalfa (horse hay). I am in central ky (Midway, ky) if that helps with drying conditions? We normally tedder in 5th gear on our ford tractors, so for alphalfa, would 3rd gear be about right? Does a tedder do the same thing almost as those new flail conditioners you see on mowers by taking the waxy coating off the stem and bruising/cracking the stem? Thanks for your help. Any way to save money and use what we have right now will be a big help, as you already seem to know too. Horse farming isn't doing much better than anything else. Maybe one of these days it will all come back.
