Windrow Type Windrow Descriptions
45° Diagonal
1004221
Description: The stalks are lined along one edge and heads are along opposite edge, 45° to
windrow perpendicular. This windrow can be formed by end delivery or by center delivery, if
the crop is leaning to one side.
Weight Distribution: Poor
Curing: Fair
Weatherability: Poor
Machine Setting Guidelines:
• Low reel speed
• Less aggressive tine pitch
• End delivery or center delivery if crop is leaning
75° Diagonal
1004220
Description: The stalks are closer to parallel than the 45° windrow. Stalk tips are lined along
one edge with heads opposite, 75° to windrow perpendicular. This windrow can be formed by
end delivery or by center delivery, if the crop is leaning to one side.
Weight Distribution: Fair
Curing: Good
Weatherability: Fair
Machine Setting Guidelines:
• Low reel speed
• Less aggressive tine pitch
• End delivery or center delivery if crop is leaning
NOTE:
If combining, follow the same path as the header did for windrowing for optimal combine feeding performance.
