Description: Preliminary studies, conducted at Swift Current with pull-type, end delivery windrowers, showed that the formation of a good windrow was related to both the forward speed of the machine and the speed of the table canvas. The best windrow was made at a combination of these when the ratio of forward speed to canvas speed was 0.7 : 1. It was observed, in later work with self propelled windrowers, that machines with a horizontal table produced a compact windrow, while those with inclined tables made a wide wind row with the heads of grain crisscrossed in the centre and the straw at an angle to the direction of machine travel. Reports of these observations and information are part of unpublished data at this Research Station. These findings prompted further studies on the performance of a self propelled windrower. The object was to observe the effect of forward speed of travel, table canvas speed and table angle on the formation of a windrow, to note its shape and how well it was supported on the stubble.
