Abstract
A harvesting machine having a guide mechanism adapted to direct a flow of crop residue from a threshing mechanism along one of three paths corresponding with three respective processing modes, the guide mechanism having a first deflection door and a second deflection door. An actuator and a first resilient element are coupled to the deflection doors, such that all three processing modes can be attained by contraction and extension of the actuator.
