Swathing Drone Video

I did not have time to shoot any drone video of my harvest but my nephew got some with his Phantom drone. I put a few clips together showing
me swathing canola and then oats. A good overhead view of laying a double swath (42 feet) of oats.

(quoted from post at 04:28:37 09/25/17) What are you pulling behind the swather that looks like a roller? Purpose? Great footage.

As he explained in the vid it is a roller used to press the crop down into the stubble to reduce the tendency for the wind to blow the swath apart.

Yes, the newer swathers have the roller mounted right on the back for the purpose. Big bushy canola swaths can really take a beating in the strong winds we get here at times. I saw a little swath damage on one of my fields but considering how much wind we get, I can't complain too much.
