The present invention relates to an agricultural machine for distributing products for animal feeding and/or straw bedding comprising a bin for receiving the products, a distribution blower, a product ejection zone, a rotary element fitted with blades mounted in the ejection zone, a drive shaft of the rotary element, a conveyor and/or unraveling system and a rotary indicator positioned outside the ejection zone and able to be driven in rotation directly or indirectly by the drive shaft to send to a user, by its own visual rotation effect, a visual indication of the rotation of the rotary element.

Disconnect systems for use in power transmission components and systems are provided. Such disconnect systems may be utilized in various applications, and bale processors using such disconnect systems are disclosed. One disconnect system is provided for selectively transmitting force between first and second shafts. The disconnect system includes a first closure configured to rotate with the first shaft, and a second closure configured to rotate with the second shaft. The second closure is movable along the second shaft to selectively engage the first closure, and the second closure has a detent respectively operable with proximal and distal depressions of the second shaft. The first and second closures are engaged with one another when the detent operates with the proximal depression, and are disengaged from one another when the detent operates with the distal depression. Respective operation of the detent with the proximal and distal depressions biases the second closure from moving along the second shaft.

A crop cutting device for an agricultural machine according to the present invention comprises a shaft and a plurality of knives pivotally mounted on the shaft between a retracted position and an extended position. The shaft comprises first engaging means and each knife comprises second engaging means, wherein the first and second engaging means are configured to engage with each other, when the shaft is rotated to force at least one knife into one of the retracted position and the extended position.
