garvo - 3/18/2014 05:16 if you direct cut wet-you should be ok-having a regular pull type chopper with a hay head will let you wilt the hay-let excess moisture out-maybe windrow in morning and start cutting afternoon-hay that is at 60-74% moisture keeps the best-your flail chop will approach 90%=which makes soup-and the water will have your nutrients oozing off to runoff=lots of pull type choppers availiable-faster and chop better,Flails are ok,just that they are slower-takin 6ft with flail or 12ft windrow with pulltype with hay head is already twice the acres coming in
