ABSTRACT:
A machine advances along a windrow of hay, or other field crop, which is dry on top but still damp on the bottom. The windrow is engaged, elevated and urged rearwardly in a continuous stream. A diagonal deflector adjacent the after end of the machine intercepts the flow of the windrow and inverts it before returning the inverted windrow to the ground. Twin spaced rows of disappearing backwardly raked tines travel across the face of the deflector in the path of the windrow to assure inversion; and guide rods at the trailing end of the deflector smoothly direct the windrow as it gravitates to the ground. The damp side of the windrow is thereby exposed to the drying effects of sun and wind.
