A haymaking machine having rotors provided with secured tools, which machine includes at least one rotor having at least one radially extensible rotary support arm, with an inner end connected to the rotor hub and an opposite outer end carrying at least one working tool possessing spikes connected by an intermediate portion presenting coils on the one hand and at least one angled section for fixation to the support arm on the other hand, the arm extends internally through at least some of the coils and a piece for retaining the coils and not coupled with the support arm is attached to this latter. The retaining piece integrates at least one part of the one or more means for fixation of the working tool on the support arm.

A basket rake includes a main frame configured to be coupled to a tractor, a left basket coupled to the main frame via a left extension frame, a right basket coupled to the main frame via a right extension frame, a plurality of hydraulic actuators, a plurality of control lines, and a multi-function valve. Each of the plurality of control lines is hydraulically coupled to one of the plurality of actuators. The multi-function valve is hydraulically coupled to each of the plurality of control lines and is configured to receive hydraulic fluid from the tractor and control flow of hydraulic fluid independently to each of the plurality of hydraulic actuators via the plurality of control lines to extend or retract the extension frames, rotate the left or right baskets, raise or lower the left or right baskets, and operate drive motors of the left and right baskets.

A harvester head reel may include a bat support and an extendable bat supported by the bat. The extendable bat may have a first segment and a second segment overlapping the first segment. The harvester head reels may further include a first finger extending from the first segment and a second finger extending from the second segment.

The disclosure relates to a feedback assembly for a harvester useful for providing feedback regarding operation of one or more blade assemblies of the harvester. The feedback assembly comprises a chassis, one or more rods coupled to the chassis, and one or more tines rotatably coupled to the one or more rods. Each of the one or more tines defines an elongated body including a linear section extending from the one or more rods, and an angled section extending at an angle from the linear section. Each of the one or more tines is configured to hang substantially perpendicularly relative to a direction of travel of the harvester when in a non-actuated position. The one or more tines are configured to rotate away from the direction of travel of the harvester when in an actuated position.

A bat tube for use with a harvester pick-up reel. The bat tube is configured to resist torsional loads, without having to use fasteners that engage holes in the bat tube. Preferably, the external surface of the bat tube provides at least one key or keyway that engages a corresponding keyway or key in the band or strap portion of the tines. As such, once a tine is engaged with the bat tube, the tine is generally prevented from rotating about the bat tube. Additionally, by not using fasteners to engage holes in the bat tube, spacing between the tines can be varied. The bat tube allows for tine fastening and torsional resistance without drilling or punching holes, which allows for easily variable tine spacings. It also allows for improved crop gathering and crop entry characteristics over a typical round profile.
