An agricultural device is movable in a direction of advance and includes: a cutter bar equipped with cutting elements intended to cut a standing crop product; a conditioner positioned behind the cutter bar; and a grouping device intended to move the product transversely to the direction of advance and located behind the cutter bar, in an active position. A retraction actuator is configured to transpose the grouping device between the active position and a passive position in which the product is deposited at the rear of the device. A collecting device extends partially under and partially behind the conditioner in active position of the grouping device.
