Abstract
A haymaking machine comprising drums rotating about substantially vertical axes and driving thin flexible skirt-like elements of rubber or the like with or without stiffeners or control devices. The skirt-like elements may be attached to the drums or to an endless belt which laps the drums, and these elements may be of various shapes and be with or withut edge spikes or other projections. In operation these elements follow the ground contours and lift and entrain the cut fodder.
