Rake wheels for raking apparatus for gathering crop material into a windrow are disclosed. In some embodiments, the rake wheel includes disks for securing and limiting circumferential and axial movement of the tines of the rake wheel.

The invention relates to a tine support (10) for a crop collecting device for connecting at least two tines (12) to a shaft (50), one tine (12, 32) having a securing region (18). The invention is characterized in that the tine support (10, 30) comprises at least two support elements (14A, 14B, 34A, 34B) on which the securing region (18) of at least one tine (12, 32) can be secured. Furthermore, the support element (14A, 14B, 34A, 34B) has a connection region (24) via which a rotationally fixed connection to the shaft (50) can be produced, and the tine support (10, 30) has a clamping element (26, 38) which clamps the support elements (14A, 14B, 34A, 34B) in a removable manner with respect to the shaft (50).

A telescopic reel for an agricultural machine includes at least one side module being telescopic relative to a central module for causing the reel to switch from a retracted position to an extended position. A second crosspiece of the side module is adapted to enter into a cavity of a first crosspiece of the central module when the reel is in the retracted position, and is adapted to be extended when the reel is in the extended position. The first crosspiece and the second crosspiece are provided with a crop lifting system. The lifting system includes a connection for connecting lifts to at least one intersection element of the reel so that the lifts can slide along the second crosspiece of the side module. The lifts are brought close to each other when the reel is in the retracted position and the lifts are positioned relative to each other and to the at least one intersection element, at a distance substantially matching that of connection, when the reel is in the extended position.

A drum assembly for turning material. The drum assembly includes a drum having a first end, a second end, a rotational axis extending through the first end and the second end about which the drum rotates. The drum includes a first outer portion, a second outer portion, and a central portion. A plurality of centering paddles are connected to the drum and configured to move material toward a central plane. A plurality of dispersal paddles are connected to the drum and configured to move material away from the drum in a direction generally perpendicular to the rotational axis. A plurality of spreading paddles are connected to the drum and configured to move material away from the central plane.

Rake wheels for a raking apparatus for gathering crop material into a windrow. The rake wheel may include a center hub and a plurality of tines that extend outward from the center hub. In some embodiments, the rake wheel includes support members such as disks for securing and limiting circumferential and/or axial movement of the tines of the rake wheel.

The presented invention is a hay fluffer which includes a frame that is configured to be pulled by a vehicle and a drive assembly supported by the frame. The drive assembly consists of wheels whose rotation, using a system of chains and gears, powers the turn of a rotation shaft. The rotation shaft has, attached, a sequence of cogs with each cog containing three recesses equally spaced and a tine set fitted into each of the three recesses in each cog. Tine sets may be removed and replaced by removing a single reversible fastener.
