I came across a bunch of material over 15 years ago and it's just been sitting around. I have recently come across more free material and decided to finally put it all to good use. For anyone with roller crimper experience can you have to many "blades"? The material I have leaves a couple of options.
I dont have a large cylinder to weld the blades to.
Option 1: weld it all up with the blades set at 6" spacing.
Pros: quickest build, less blades equals more crimping pressure on each blade.
Cons: Open style design leaves the possibility of material getting wrapped around crimper
Option 2: weld it all up so there is more blades
Pros: heavier, no gaps between blades
Cons: Less down pressure per blade, longer build time
I'm leaning toward option 2 but want to make sure it is heavy enough to actually terminate the cover crop. (I will be building it with a tray above the crimper for added weight if needed)
Thoughts?
