ABSTRACT:
A machine for cutting and conditioning forage comprises a main frame having, pivotally connected thereto, a cutter platform carrying a cutter bar and two counter-rotating transverse rolls for crushing the forage cut by the cutter bar; the cutter platform is attached at each side to the main frame by an upper side arm and a lower side arm the latter being a hydraulic actuator, the arrangement being such that when the hydraulic actuators are extended from the fully retracted position the upper side arms first turn about their pivots, allowing preliminary forward movement of the cutter platform with respect to the main frame, before they meet respective abutments which prevent further movement, whereupon the cutter platform turns about the pivots fixing it to the upper side arms and is raised from the ground.
