Haymaking machine and a machine

A machine comprising a supporting device for supporting the machine from the ground, the supporting device being provided with at least one balance arm that is mounted on a substantially horizontal pivot axis and is provided with wheels, the supporting device further being provided with an element for moving the balance arm about its pivot axis to an oblique position in which at least one of the wheels, but not all the wheels, is located at some distance from the ground, so that the machine is moved from an operative position, in which the wheels bear on the ground, to a transport position, in which at least one of the wheels is located at some distance from the ground, wherein the balance arm comprises two balance arm portions that are freely movable relative to each other, each balance arm portion having a first end and a second end, the balance arm portions supporting the respective wheel at their first end and being interconnected at their second end, so that the angle between the balance arm portions in the operative position differs from the angle between the balance arm portions in the transport position.

A haymaking machine comprising a frame, with at least one processing member that is rotatable about an upwardly orientated axis for processing crop lying on the ground in the operative position, the processing member being connected with the frame and being supported from the ground via a supporting device, which comprises at least one balance arm that is mounted on a substantially horizontal pivot axis and is provided with a wheel at each of its ends, the wheels bearing on the ground in the operative position, the supporting device further being provided with an element, operable for moving the balance arm about its pivot axis to an oblique position for transport of the haymaking machine, in which the wheel located at one of the ends of the balance arm is at some distance from the ground, wherein the balance arm comprises two balance arm portions that are movable relative to each other on operation of the element, each balance arm portion having a first end and a second end, the balance arm portions supporting the respective wheel at their first end and being interconnected at their second end, so that the angle between the balance arm portions in the operative position differs from the angle between the balance arm portions in the transport position.
