ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for moving hay and turning it over from a first swath to a second swath, comprising a movable platform disposed in a substantially horizontal plane and having a generally semicircular shape, the platform having an upstanding curved wall on the outer edge of the curved side and rear portions thereof. A device is mounted on one side of the front portion of the platform for picking up hay in the first swath and depositing it on the adjacent portion of the platform as it is moved forwardly. A plurality of radially outwardly extending arms with depending tines are mounted on the platform for rotation in a substantially horizontal plane above the platform. The tines engage the hay deposited on the platform and move it along the platform in an arcuate path of approximately 180.degree. to the opposite side of the platform and over the front edge thereof to deposit the hay in an inverted position in a second swath laterally spaced from the first swath. The platform is formed of movable sections so that its width can be varied. The arms are movable upwardly to a substantially vertical position for storage or shipping of the apparatus.
