Estimating the term…
A haymaking implement for displacing crop lying on the ground has a rotor and at least one tine arm, wherein the tine arm is pivotable with respect to the rotor about an associated pivot axis, for movement between a gripping position for gripping and taking along crop lying on the ground and a release position for releasing the crop. The tine arm has an outer arm portion carrying a plurality of tines, wherein each tine comprises a tine point for contact with the crop. In the gripping position, an innermost tine point positioned relatively closest to the rotor axis is located on or in front of the pivot axis with respect to the direction of rotation (R), while an outermost tine point positioned relatively distant from the rotor axis is located behind the pivot axis.
Haymaking implement for displacing crop lying on the ground, comprising:
Haymaking implement for displacing crop lying on the ground, comprising at least one rotor which is rotatable about an upwardly orientated axis in a direction of rotation and which is provided with at least one tine arm, wherein the tine arm is pivotably fastened to the rotor about an associated pivot axis, wherein the tine arm comprises an inner arm portion and an outer arm portion having a plurality of tines, wherein the tine arm is mechanically controllable in such a manner that the position of the tines during operation varies cyclically between a gripping position for gripping and taking along crop lying on the ground and a release position for releasing the crop, wherein each tine comprises a tine portion having a tine point for contact with the crop, a fastening portion for fastening on the tine arm and a spring portion which forms a flexible connection of the fastening portion to the tine portion, wherein the outer arm portion is connected to the inner arm portion by means of a curved portion such that, viewed in vertical projection in the gripping position, at least an inner tine point of the tine arm is located on or in front of the pivot axis when viewed in the direction of rotation, while at least an outer tine point of the tine arm is located behind the pivot axis.
