ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a swather comprises a panel which is hinged at a front edge on the swather so as to hang downwardly and rearwardly therefrom so that rear edge engages and compresses the swath as it emerges from the swather. The panel is spring biased downwardly to compress the swath into the stubble to reduce the danger of wind damage in fluffy crops such as flax. Side edges of the panel include spring tines extending outwardly from the rear edge so as to compress the swath particularly at side edges of the swath with a center section of the panel bowed upwardly to reduce the compression action in that area.
