7.13 DELIVERY OPENING/DECK SHIFT

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

The decision to widen or narrow the center delivery opening; or whether or not to double windrow should be based on the following factors:

• combine pick-up capability,

• type and yield of crop,

• weather conditions (rain, humidity, wind), and,

• drying time available.

Refer to Section 7.15 WINDROW TYPES for the strengths and weaknesses of the various windrow configurations with respect to these factors.
