I have a 946 John Deere impeller machine and there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that it will pulverize alfalfa unless the machine is not set right. You can set the machine to do practically nothing to alfalfa. In my area, whether you have alfalfa, grass or a mixture, nearly everyone who has gone to an impeller machine would never go back to a roll type. How you set the shield over the impellers is the key to how much conditioning you get. If you set it tight to the impellers, you get meal. If you set it far from the impellers, nothing much happens. Adjusting it in between (there are several settings for this) give you the desired amount of conditioning. You then set the tail board for desired windrow width and "fluffing". You can stand a crop almost straight up if you want to. Many times people get a mindset against them but if they actually read their book and set the machine as recommended they likely would never run anything else. Mike
