ABSTRACT:
A windrow turner is described in which a wheeled frame is provided including a forward and a rearward end. A windrow pick-up on the frame adjacent the forward end, and a substantially upright helical auger flight is situated rearwardly adjacent the windrow pick-up. A drive is connected to the auger flight and is selectively operable to rotate the auger flight about an auger axis in a lifting mode such that material engaging the rotating auger flight is lifted upwardly by the auger flight. A guide between the windrow pick-up and auger leads angularly from the windrow pick-up to the auger flight. The auger flight rotates about the auger axis to engage the windrow lifted by the windrow pick-up and progressively inverts the windrow by turning the windrow laterally where a discharge chute on the frame receives and guides the inverted windrow back to the ground surface.
