ABSTRACT:
A raking machine has preferably two rake heads that are rotatable about upwardly extending axes. Each rake head has an outer circumference defined by a generally circular flexible wall with raking means supported on the circumference of the wall. The wall can have stiffening members to reinforce the wall and to hold tines or tine groups that can be pivotally mounted adjacent the lower portion of the wall. Also, the wall can be supported from a central hub by flexible spokes or chains. Alternatively, the wall can be foldable to an accordian configuration and hold crop within the folds which are controlled by a link chain and track with a driven sprocket member. The flexible wall is controlled to deposit crop at the desired place during rotation of the head or heads and crop guide members can be positioned with respect to the head or heads to arrange the crop in swaths.
