CA 2323978

A vehicle, in the form of a self-propelled forage harvester, has a three-point hitch assembly mounted to its forward end in place of the cutter head. A mower together with a rotary tine crop conditioner is coupled to the three-point hitch. Located in a zone between the upper and lower three-point hitch links, as viewed from the side, is a belt conveyor mounted to a hitch support structure for vertical pivotal movement between a raised, non-operative position and a lowered operative position. When in its non-operative position, the conveyor parallels the upper link and is disposed for letting cut crop discharged by the conditioner fall to the ground along a path that passes between front and rear pairs of support wheels of the forage harvester. When in its operative position, the conveyor is disposed at a 45° angle to the horizontal so as to be in the path of the cut crop discharged by the conditioner, the conveyor having a lateral extent such as to deposit the crop in a windrow located outside a selected one of the front pair of support wheels.
