Haymaking machine with rake rotatable about vertical axis - has tines on ends of cranked arms rotatable about axes passing through rotor centre

摘要

The haymaking machine has a rake member (7) supporting carrier arms (9), an outer portion (11) of each arm having a crank shape. Each arm is turnable about an axis (12) during rotation of the rake member (8) between a setting in which a tine group (13) has its tines in a working position and a setting in which the tines project horizontally rearwards with respect to the direction of rotation (B). Each tine group may comprise two pairs of tines and displacement of one pair of tines causes displacement of the other pair of tines in a different direction. The inner portion (10) of each carrier arm (9) may be divided into two relatively pivotable parts.
