Abstract
A machine for cutting plant matter equipped with a limiter device includes a first assembly connected to a first unit and a second assembly connected to a second unit. The second unit is connected to the first unit by an articulation allowing the second unit to pivot about an axis of the articulation within limits allowed by at least one stop. The stop is elastically deformable so as to limit pivoting of the second unit about the axis when the second unit is subjected to a first pivoting torque, and so as to tolerate a much greater amount of pivoting of the second unit about the axis when the second unit is subjected to a second pivoting torque.
