FIELD: agricultural engineering. SUBSTANCE: windrower has cutterbar, platform mounted behind cutterbar and provided with floor, and finger-type windrowing conveyor positioned above platform floor. Windrower has devices for deflecting cereal heap from wheel track. Each cereal heap deflecting device has longitudinal and transverse conveyors. Longitudinal conveyor is secured behind cutterbar on platform at an angle to it. Transverse conveyor is positioned behind longitudinal conveyor.
