ABSTRACT:
An apparatus selectively operable either to invert and laterally displace the windrow from its original position or merely to laterally displace the windrow without effecting an inversion thereof is disclosed wherein a first discharge chute can be utilized to effect an inversion of the windrow while a second discharge chute can be utilized for merely shifting the windrow without inversion. The discharge chute is positioned laterally of and adjacent the discharge end of a cross conveyor conveying an elevated windrow of crop material laterally of its original path of repose upon the ground. The first discharge chute redirects the flow of crop material forwardly and over a discharge edge whereupon the forward motion of the apparatus will effect an inversion of the windrow into a second path of repose laterally spaced from its original path. The second discharge chute redirects the flow of the windrow of crop material rearwardly from the cross conveyor and over a discharge edge for deposit upon the ground without effecting an inversion thereof. The discharge chutes can be operably mounted within a mounting sleeve carried by the frame of the apparatus while a second transport sleeve is provided to optionally carry the discharge chute not being placed into use.
