Hay making machine with paired rotary rakes - has outer rakes pivoted between working and transport positions, with each pair including common drive unit

摘要

Two inner rakes spaced by a rigid frame and held close together, two further rakes being pivotable into a transport position behind the inner rakes. The individual rakes remain continuously in drive connection. The rakes (1'2') on one side including the drive trains are combined as one unit with a rigid connecting arm (7). The inner rakes are coupled by a length variable linkage shaft, and the transmission of one inner rotor forms part of the main drive input from the tractor.
