Abstract
A discharge chute for use on a window turner having a pickup mechanism for elevating a windrow of crop material off the ground and a cross conveyor for receiving the elevated windrow and conveying the windrow laterally of the direction of travel as disclosed wherein the discharge chute is provided with an adjustable discharge edge for the floor member of the discharge chute over which the windrow must pass before being deposited on the ground. The floor member of the discharge chute is provided with an edge plate member positionally movable with respect to the floor base member, the edge plate member being fixed into a selected position relative to the floor base member by clamping bolts. The discharge edge is preferably oriented such that the inner end thereof adjacent the cross conveyor is spaced slightly forwardly of the centerline of the cross conveyor, while the outer end of the discharge edge is spaced forwardly of the inner end to define an acute angular relationship between the discharge edge and the centerline of the cross conveyor.
