Abstract

An agricultural machine comprises a body and a drawbar, which drawbar is connected to the body using a first articulation with a substantially vertical axis and allows the agricultural machine to be moved along during work and during transport, the body resting on the ground during work using wheels which are each connected to the body via at least one connecting element, the body comprising a central unit and a working unit, which working unit is arranged transversely to the direction of forward travel during work and is arranged substantially parallel to the direction of forward travel during transport. It is notable in that the working unit is connected to the central unit using a second articulation with a substantially vertical axis so that the working unit can be brought into a work position or into a transport position with respect to said central unit, and wherein the singular or plural connecting element allows (allow) the corresponding wheel(s) to be moved away from or closer to a vertical mid-plane of the body, the wheels being used during work and during transport.
