Crop residue spreader

A crop residue spreader comprising:

• at least one impeller;
• at least one radial housing comprising a crop residue outlet opening, the at least one impeller positioned to be rotatably driven around a rotation axis such that a crop residue flow is ejected through the crop residue outlet opening of the at least one radial housing, and such that the crop residue flow is converted from an incoming crop residue flow into a wider outgoing crop residue flow;
• at least one separate blower outlet opening, separate from the crop residue outlet opening of the at least one radial housing, the at least one separate blower outlet opening positioned to provide an outgoing airflow to accelerate the crop residue flow;
• and
• wherein the at least one impeller comprises two or more impeller blades positioned to impact the incoming crop residue flow in an axial crop residue impact zone when rotatably driven around the rotation axis, the axial crop residue impact zone extending along a direction of the rotation axis between a first axial impact zone limit and an opposing second axial impact zone limit;
• and
• the at least one separate blower outlet opening extending, along the direction of the rotation axis, at least partly in the axial crop residue impact zone.
