ABSTRACT:
An agricultural machine with a frame on which tool rotors are mounted on upright shafts in a row extending across the direction in which the machine travels. The rotors are driven by a horizontal driveshaft that is segmented and interlocked by couplings. Each segment of the driveshaft is a component of one of the angular gears that drive the tool rotors. The horizontal driveshaft is coupled, through a coupling device that is inside the housing of a main train mounted on the frame, with the output gearwheel of the main train and hence driven by it. Guides for aligning the central axis of the components of the driveshaft with the center line of the output gearwheel of the main train are positioned in a known way at least between the main train and the gears of a tool rotor that are immediately adjacent to it. The coupling device has a coupling component that is rigidly attached to the components of the driveshaft that extend into the main train. The coupling component has coupling elements that engage with a certain amount of play with other coupling elements in the output gearwheel inside its bearings.
