An agricultural rake assembly includes a frame. A plurality of wheels is coupled to the frame. A shaft is coupled to and extends upwardly from the frame. A pair of disks is rotatably coupled to the shaft. The disks are rotated when the wheels are rotated. A cam track is coupled to the shaft. A plurality of rake arms are each movably coupled between the disks. The plurality of rake arms is distributed around the disks. A plurality of rakes is coupled to each of the rake arms. The rakes may engage a crop. A plurality of cam arms is each movably coupled between the rake arms and the disks. The cam arms each urge the rake arms between a raking position, a lifted position and a lowered position when the first end of the associated one of the rake arms moves along the cam track.

An agricultural machine, includes a frame with a pair of wheels enabling movement in one direction, at least two harvesting devices for agricultural products connected to the frame that, in a work position, are arranged frontally to the wheels and aligned with each other transversely to the one direction. Unloading equipment is arranged operationally downstream of the harvesting devices to receive the harvested agricultural products and to move them in an unloading direction transverse to the one direction. The unloading equipment includes a central unloading device that is movable with respect to the harvesting devices between a work position, wherein it directly receives the harvested agricultural products from the harvesting devices, and a non-operational position, wherein it is offset with respect to the work position so as to enable the harvested agricultural products to fall immediately downstream of the first harvesting device.
