Method for processing mown straw or similar which has been swathed together

摘要

The processing machine can be towed and driven by an agricultural tractor (2) or can be self-mobile. It receives and takes over a raked-together swatch (3) of straw or similar, and contains a unit (7) for processing the material. It also has a device (6) for width distribution of the straw flow within the main machine (1), which works before or after the straw processing unit (7). Components are provided for compacting the straw and for laying it out on the previously mown surface. The device (6) for width distribution of the straw within the processing machine comprises a pair of counter-rotating prong gyroscopes around virtually vertical axes.
