More Information
Summary:Spreader apparatus for a crop residue chopper (24) of an agricultural harvesting machine, e.g., a combine (20), mountable in a simple manner and quickly and precisely pivotable sidewardly, and optionally upwardly and downwardly, in a unitary manner, for adjusting or varying a direction and/or one or more characteristics of discharge of crop residue propelled from a chopper (24). The spreader apparatus includes a spreader board (36) having vanes (40) mounted thereon for guiding crop residue flow discharged from the chopper (24). The vanes (40) and the spreader board (36) are movable simultaneously and in a unitary manner, to achieve adjustments or shifts in crop residue deposition location, without altering consistency or uniformity of the crop residue distribution.
