A device, which is movable over ground in a direction of travel, where the device is equipped with at least one pick-up mechanism for picking up a product from the ground, as well as at least one conveyor belt arranged to convey the picked up material in at least one direction extending sidewards with respect to the direction of travel, and to deposit said material on the ground, wherein the pick-up comprises at least one pick-up element configured to pick up product from the ground by means of rotation about an axis extending substantially parallel with respect to the conveying direction of conveyor belt, wherein the device is equipped with a guiding unit forming an ascending ramp for the product, the guiding unit being arranged to move the picked up product towards the conveyor belt at an angle of at least 20 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane. A self-propelled agricultural machine and a trailed agricultural machine being equipped with such a device.
A device that is movable in a direction of travel over land, wherein the device is provided with at least one pick-up mechanism for picking up product from the land, as well as at least one conveyor belt, wherein, by means of the conveyor belt, the product picked up by the pick-up mechanism is to be conveyed in at least one direction of transport extending sideways relative to the direction of travel and is to be deposited on the land, wherein the pick-up mechanism comprises at least one pick-up that is configured to pick up product from the land by means of a rotating motion about a rotation axis extending substantially parallel to the direction of transport of the conveyor belt, wherein the device is provided with a guide member forming a rising slope for the product, by means of which the product picked up from the land by means of the pick-up mechanism is to be moved towards the conveyor belt at an angle of at least 20 degrees relative to a horizontal plane, wherein the guide member is provided with a curved plate-shaped element forming the slope, and wherein the guide member is mounted between the pick-up and the conveyor belt.
