Abstract
A residue spreader for receiving crop residue from a residue chopper of a combine harvester and for spreading crop residue onto the ground. The spreader includes a spreader body having an inlet and an outlet side, and left and right groups of deflectors, each deflector pivotally mounted on the spreader body in juxtaposed position and configured to laterally deflect the crop residue between the inlet side and the outlet side. The deflectors within each group are coupled together for pivoting movement in unison. A distribution actuator has an actuator body and an actuator element and the actuator body is mounted to the spreader body. The actuator element is coupled to both the left and right groups of deflectors by respective pivoting links. The actuator body is adjustably mounted to the spreader body. An adjustment actuator is connected to the actuator body to control movement of the actuator body with respect to the spreader body to adjust a spread width.
