Method for adjusting haymaking machine into transport position

A method for adjusting a haymaking machine (1) into a transport position, wherein the haymaking machine (1) includes a main frame (2) and two side units (6) arranged to both sides on the main frame (2), each side unit having a boom (7), which in a side position extends sidewards along a transverse axis (Y) from an attachment region (3) of the main frame (2), and a cultivating unit (20), arranged on the boom (7), for field cultivation, said cultivating unit (20) being adjustable on the boom (7) between an inner position arranged relatively close to the attachment region (3) and an outer position that is further remote from the attachment region (3), wherein, starting from a working position in which the booms (7) are in the side position, the following steps are performed comprising of:

• adjusting each cultivating unit (20) relative to the main frame (2) into an upright position, at least in part by pivoting about, in each case, one unit pivot axis (A) which, when the booms (7) are in the side position, extends at least predominantly along the transverse axis (Y);
• adjusting the booms (7) relative to the main frame (2), at least in part by pivoting about in each case one boom pivot axis (B), which extends at least predominantly along a vertical axis (Z) and is arranged in the attachment region (3), towards the longitudinal axis (X) into a longitudinal position, wherein the adjustment of the booms (7) is performed while the cultivating units (20) are at least temporarily in the outer position;
• and
• adjusting the cultivating units (20) into the inner position after the adjustment of the booms (7) has been at least performed at least partially.

A haymaking machine (1) comprising of:

• a main frame (2) and two side units (6) arranged to both sides on the main frame (2), each side unit having a boom (7), which in a side position extends sidewards along a transverse axis (Y) from an attachment region (3) of the main frame (2), and a cultivating unit (20), arranged on the boom (7), for field cultivation, said cultivating unit (20) being adjustable on the boom (7) between an inner position arranged relatively close to the attachment region (3) and an outer position that is further remote from the attachment region (3), wherein the haymaking machine (1) from a working position in which the booms (7) are in the side position can have each cultivating unit (20) are adjustable relative to the main frame (2) into an upright position, at least in part by pivoting about in each case one unit pivot axis (A) which, when the booms (7) are in the side position, extends at least predominantly along the transverse axis (Y) and the booms (7) adjustable relative to the main frame (2), at least in part by pivoting about in each case one boom pivot axis (B), which extends at least predominantly along a vertical axis (Z) and is arranged in the attachment region (3), towards the longitudinal axis (X) into a longitudinal position, wherein the booms (7) are adjustable while the cultivating units (20) are at least temporarily in the outer position, and the cultivating units (20) are adjustable into the inner position after the adjustment of the booms (7) has been at least performed at least partially.
