Abstract:
A haymaking machine, especially a windrower of mown plant matter, comprising:a frame;several windrowing rotors which are driven in rotation during work about substantially vertical axes having supports fitted with carrier wheels;said frame comprising a draft beam and a connecting beam to which at least one of the windrowing rotors is connected;said connecting beam being articulated with respect to the draft beam so that it can be moved, together with the rotor or rotors connected to it, laterally to the right and/or to the left;at least the rotor furthest from the articulation to the draft beam being flanked by a windrowing deflector which can be adjusted into several positions with respect to said rotor;wherein:the windrowing deflector is connected by means of at least two levers to a support, wherein said at least two levers are substantially parallel and have substantially the same length, and which are articulated with respect to the support and to the windrowing deflector by means of substantially vertical axises;said support is connected to the substantially vertical axis of the rotor beside which the windrowing deflector is situated;at least one of said at least two levers is connected to the connecting beam by means of a rod and can be moved automatically with respect to the support through said rod when said connecting beam is moved to bring the machine into the work position or into the transport position.
