ABSTRACT:
A raking machine that displaces crop lying on the ground has at least one, preferably two, raking members that rotate on upwardly extending axes. Each raking member has a felly-like or circular member around which tines or other crop gathering elements are displaceably mounted. The circular member can be a cylindrical or conical wall that is deformable or flexible during rotation so that tines secured by pivots or bolts near the bottom of the member can move in axial, radial or tangential directions responsive to ground undulations and/or control means, allowing crop to be deposited in a swath or at a predetermined point along the circumference of the raking member. The circular member can be foldable responsive to the control which can be driven along a track and unfolded to deposit crop as desired. Also, side-by-side raking members can have tines pivoted in assemblies in which crank arms are contacted by control means or elements on an adjacent rake wheel to turn the tines and deposit crop. Similarly, a magnet can be positioned near the felly like member to attract magnets on crank arms and pivot the tines to unload positions. A blower can be used as the control member or a roller support can be placed to distort wire spokes and tine strips, again unloading crop at a preselected site.
