Abstract

A hay-making machine, in particular for side-delivery raking, includes a plurality of truncated-cone-shaped rotary devices which are rotatably arranged about an axis which is slightly inclined in relation to a vertical line, the rotary devices being provided with elastic deformable tools and being arranged side-by-side on a supporting arm which slightly ascends in relation to the working surface and which is supported on the ground by a supporting plate and also provided with a joint drive. The supporting arm extends essentially perpendicular to the working direction of the machine and the adjacent rotary devices overlap. A driving pulley at on end of the supporting arm is connected by superimposed V-belts to a respective rotary device, and the V-belts are provided with a band-like widened backside to form a closed working surface.
