ABSTRACT:
The invented fluffer is a retractable hay and bean agricultural design for use in fluffing hay, bean and other crops. The retractable fluffer comprises: a pickup assembly 40 for fluffing hay or beans, the pickup assembly 40 is attached to and supported by a pickup frame 30, the pickup frame 30 is pivotally attached to a hitch attachment assembly 50 at a pair of pivots, the hitch attachment assembly 50 attaches to a standard three-point hitch located on the rear of a tractor 200. Preferably, a gauge wheel assembly 60 is attached to the pickup frame 30 for assisting in holding the pickup frame 30 above the surface of the ground. Benefits of the invented fluffer include maneuverability; the ability to be adjustably connected at an angle to the tractor; safety; the use of a 3-point hitch attachment; a reduction in the amount of time required for the beans or hay within the field to dry; and reducing or eliminating occurrences of mildew, molds and other fungal growths upon the undersides of the windrow and within the plant matter later harvested or baled.
