Delivery Opening

The width and location of the delivery opening affects the width and configuration of the windrow.

The decision to widen or narrow the center delivery opening, or to double windrow, should be based on the
following factors:

• Windrower pick-up capability

• Type and yield of crop

• Weather conditions (rain, humidity, wind)

• Drying time available

Refer to

4.10 Windrow Types, page 79

for the strengths and weaknesses of the various windrow configurations with

respect to these factors.

Also refer to

4.9 Double Windrowing, page 76
