ABSTRACT:
A double windrow attachment for self-propelled or pull-type windrowing machines receives crop which has been projected rearwardly from conditioning apparatus of the machine and transfers the crop obliquely to one side of the path of travel of the machine without discontinuing the rearward momentum of the crop. The oblique orientation of the attachment encourages the crop to flow smoothly in a steady stream from the conditioning apparatus to the discharge end of the attachment without bunching as it lands on the attachment, all of which produces a windrow of uniform density to promote rapid and proper curing of the windrowed crop. Successive passes in opposite directions through the standing crop produces a double windrow which can be readily handled by subsequent crop handling equipment, such as stack-forming machines. An improved conveyor of the attachment enables the crop to be transferred laterally at high speeds such that the windrowing operation can be carried out more rapidly than heretofore possible.
