Patent ID: 7055300

Claim:
Cutting machine comprising: a cutting mechanism, a hitch structure configured to be connected to a hitch device of a motor vehicle, said hitch structure being configured to be raised or lowered relative to the ground, a carrier beam connected on the one hand to said cutting mechanism by means of a first pivot articulation whose axis is at least substantially directed along a direction of work, and on the other hand to said hitch structure by means of a second pivot articulation whose axis is substantially parallel to the axis of said first pivot articulation, an operating member configured to cause said cutting mechanism to pivot from a working position in which said cutting mechanism rests at least partially on the ground, to a transport position in which said cutting mechanism is pivoted upward, and a limiter device configured to limit the upward pivoting of said cutting mechanism relative to said carrier beam about said first pivot articulation, so as to stop said cutting mechanism in an intermediate position when said operating member is actuated, which also comprises a device configured to automatically render said limiter device inactive when said hitch structure occupies a raised position relative to the ground.
