ABSTRACT:
A haymaking machine has at least one rake member, preferably two members, with tine groups that are rotatable about an upwardly directed axis. Adhesion of hay and/or other crop to the tine groups is greatly reduced, as compared with conventional constructions, by arranging fastening spoke ends between the helical coils of each tine group. A spring-loaded setting device is arranged to co-operate with a retaining bracket of each tine group to retain the tines, and corresponding tine carrier portions, in either a position suitable for swath formation or a position suitable for tedding operation. Each spoke end is substantially rigidly clamped between the corresponding turnably mounted coils of the tine groups and the spokes extend directly away from their connections between the coils towards the axis of rotation of the rake member. Guides at the rear of the machine assist to deposit the crop in swaths or the guides can be set to ted the crop.
