A rake assembly, for the transfer and conveyance of agricultural products such as grass, hay, forage, wheat, corn and the like, cut and distributed on the ground, includes a framework which can be coupled to a drive unit for its movement along an advancement direction. The framework is associated with elements for lifting and delivering the agricultural products to at least one conveyor belt, which faces the elements and is proximate to them, for the transfer and conveyance of the agricultural products along a work direction that is defined by the belt, until the agricultural products are released in a corresponding unloading region. The assembly includes at least one elastically deformable plate, which is coupled stably to the belt and is at least partially directed, with one of its faces, toward the unloading region.

A feeder assembly pivotally attached to an implement having a pickup reel wherein the feeder assembly has a continuous belt having a plurality of teeth that is mounted about a pair of rollers. The feeder is angled such that is picks up a windrow of stover from the ground and transports the stover to a raised pickup reel.

The invention relates to a collector (10) for harvested material having at least three movement devices (12) and at least one yoke (16) interconnecting the movement devices (12). Supporting elements (18) are additionally provided which are connected to the yoke (16) and/or the movement devices (12) and which have a shaft bushing (20) within which a shaft (22) is guided on which pick-up tools (24) for picking up harvested material are mounted. At least one additional movement device (12) is provided between two outer movement devices (12), the yoke (16) being elastically deformed so as to allow a vertical movementwith respect to the yolk axisof the additional movement device (12) relative to said outer movement devices (12).
