ABSTRACT:
A brush windrower for accumulating brush and trimmings from under orchard trees, in which a main frame extends rearwardly from a tractor which is driven between the tree rows, and a rake bar extends outwardly from the main frame and passes underneath the overhanging branches to gather the brush. The rake bar is pivotally attached to the main frame and a hydraulic cylinder swings the rake bar around the pivot point to move the accumulated brush into the drive middles of the orchard. The rake bar is hinged to permit the rake teeth to tilt, thereby fully releasing the brush. Depth of extension of the rake bar is regulated hydraulically or by adding extensions to the rake bar. The rake bar also can be tilted to sweep evenly across sloping ground.
