- In areas where hay takes 4 or 5 days to cure, owners are are baling in 2-2.5 days at 12% moisture.
- The ReCon can still be run with leaves that have dried and become fragile by running first thing in the morning when there is still dew on the plants. If necessary run at a slower roller speed, sometimes with rollers set apart.

Grass Hay
- Grass hay has a tough and waxy surface making tougher to dry and tends to form a 'thatched roof' situation.
- The Recon 400 cracks 30% of the nodes, fluffs up the swath, and kinks the stems even in grass hays.
- ReCon has proven to be the only good way to get hay dried down to 12 percent for double compressing and export to the Pacific Rim.
Other Crops
- With oats and other cereals the ReCon 400 cracks most nodes and splits the stalks over 75% of their length to permit complete dry down in about half the time.
- Oats and other cereals still have a good color in the product, and much less chance of rain damage.
