Abstract
A mowing machine for cutting crop comprises a chassis, cutting members supported by the chassis, and an intermediate structure on the chassis which at least partially supports the cutting members. The cutting members extend on both side of the intermediate structure. The mowing machine also comprises members, such as rotary drums or separating surfaces, which prevent attachment of the crop to the intermediate structure. In a preferred embodiment, the mowing machine further includes conditioning members so that the cutting members and conditioning members comprise a cutting-conditioning group.
Claims84
A mowing machine comprising in combination:
- a chassis,
- cutting means supported by said chassis,
- an intermediate structure on said chassis, said intermediate structure at least partially supporting said cutting means, said cutting means extending on both sides of said intermediate structure,
- supporting wheels on said chassis for supporting said chassis on the ground, said supporting wheels being mounted on said chassis in a pivotable manner, and maneuvering means able to modify the position of said supporting wheels in relation to said chassis,
- a beam fixed on said chassis by means of an upwardly directed axis to connect said mowing machine to a pulling vehicle, said beam being pivotable about said upwardly directed axis, so as to occupy different positions in relation to said chassis,
- driving means to drive the cutting means, and
- means associated with said intermediate structure for preventing attachment of crop to said intermediate structure.
A mowing machine comprising in combination:
- a chassis,
- cutting means supported by said chassis,
- supplementary working member supported by said chassis,
- an intermediary structure on said chassis, said intermediate structure at least partially supporting said cutting means and/or said supplementary working members, said cutting means and/or said supplementary working members extending on both sides of said intermediate structure,
- supporting wheels on said chassis for supporting said chassis on the ground, said supporting wheels being mounted on said chassis in a pivotable manner, and maneuvering means able to modify the position of said supporting wheels in relation to said chassis,
- a beam fixed on said chassis by means of an upwardly directed axis to connect said mowing machine to a pulling vehicle, said beam being pivotable about said upwardly directed axis, so as to occupy different positions in relation to said chassis,
- driving means to drive the cutting means and/or the supplementary working members, and
- means associated with said intermediate structure for preventing attachment of crop to said intermediate structure.
