Double Windrowing
Double windrowing involves laying two windrows side-by-side. Larger capacity combines or forage harvesters can then pick
up twice as much material in a single pass which saves time and fuel.
Double windrowing is used for crops that don
’
t require conditioning such as grains, canola, and beans.
Double windrowing is performed using the header
’
s deck shifting ability. For instructions, refer to
.
