Each cover plate (24) is positioned at a location above a respective spreader disc (16), and is operable to inhibit a flow of crop material to the respective spreader disc (16) when positioned above the respective spreader disc (16). The spreader arrangement (12) is characterized in that the windrow chute (26) has an entrance end (30) positioned below the pair of cover plates (24) and above the pair of spreader discs (16), whereby crop material is discharged from the top of the cover plates (24) into the windrow chute (26).
