Processing element for agricultural machines

Abstract

The present invention proposes a conditioning element (23) for a treatment device intended to accelerate the drying of forage. For this purpose, the conditioning element (23) comprises an active part (26) intended to work the forage, and a first connecting part (27) intended to connect, in a pivoting manner about a connecting axis (28), said element (23) to a support. In order to be able to improve the operation and life of the treatment device, the conditioning element (23) of the present invention is characterized in that it additionally comprises a third part (29) arranged in such a way that: the center of gravity (G1) of said active part (26) and the center of gravity (G2) of said third part (29) lie on each side of a plane (30) passing through the connecting axis (28) and roughly perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (31) of said conditioning element (23), and the center of gravity (G2) of said third part (29) is distant from a plane (32) passing through the connecting axis (28) and containing the center of gravity (G1) of said active part (26). This invention finds its application particularly in the field of agricultural mowers.
