A multi cyclone dust-separating apparatus is disclosed that includes a cyclone unit having a first cyclone, a plurality of second cyclones, and a dust collecting unit. The first cyclone is disposed so that a longitudinal axis thereof is substantially vertically arranged. The first cyclone separates relatively large dust or dirt from air drawn in through a first air inflow part. Each of the second cyclones is disposed so that longitudinal axes thereof are substantially vertically arranged. Each of the second cyclones has a second air inflow part to communicate with the first cyclone and an air discharging part to discharge the air. The second cyclones separate relatively minute dust or dirt from the air drawn in through the second air inflow part. The dust collecting unit is disposed below the cyclone unit to collect and store the dust or dirt separated from the air by the cyclone unit.

An agricultural machine for grouping windrows together or for windrowing products lying on the ground, comprising in particular a main frame supporting a central gathering and windrowing device and two side gathering and windrowing devices connected to support arms that extend laterally during work, each of said side support arms being articulated relative to the main frame on a substantially vertical axis about which it is foldable at an angle of approximately 90° for transport and each of said side gathering and windrowing device being articulated on its support arm by means of a substantially horizontal axis about which it is foldable upwards at an angle of approximately 90° to obtain a reduced machine width for transport.

A sand grooming vehicle comprises a vehicle having zero radius turn capability. The vehicle includes a front caster wheel, two independently driven rear wheels, and twin control sticks for allowing spin turning of the vehicle by driving the outboard drive wheel and stopping or reversing the inboard wheel. A trailing brush rake is towed behind the vehicle to groom the sand. The brush rake includes a center brush and two pivotal side brushes connected to opposite ends of the center brush. The pivots connecting the side brushes and the center brush are elevated above the plane of engagement of the bristles of the side brushes and the sand. Thus, during a spin turn of the vehicle, the side brush on the inside of the turn lifts to avoid pushing a ridge of sand behind that side brush. This permits the vehicle and the brush rake to groom the sand surface without leaving any ungroomed teardrops at the inside of turns and without leaving ridges of sand on the sand surface.

A plastic tine for mounting on a support tube of a harvester reel has a generally C-shaped mounting base that snaps onto the backside of the tube and an elongated finger that projects outwardly and normally downwardly from the mounting base. A generally C-shaped clip, oriented reversely to the mounting base, partially surrounds the front side of the support tube and is connected to one leg of the mounting base in such a manner that a free end of the clip can be swung toward and away from a corresponding opposite leg of the mounting base. Interlocking structure on the free end of the clip and corresponding distal end of the mounting base retains the clip in place against the front side of the support tube when the clip is fully installed. A special guard protectively overlies the free end of the mounting clip when it is locked to the mounting base so as to prevent accidental dislodgment by crop materials and residue during field operations. Provision is made for attachment of the tine to the tube by a threaded fastener in case the clip is dislodged or unavailable in the field. Alternative embodiments include an integral one-piece construction wherein the clip is integral with the rest of the tine and a separate two-part construction wherein the clip is a separate piece attachable to the rest of the tine.

A haymaking machine including a frame carrying at least one pair of rotors connected to carrying arms that may be moved from a working position, in which they are substantially horizontal, to a transport position, in which they are substantially vertical, and vice-versa. The carrying arms of at least one pair of rotors include a latching mechanism that connects them together and locks them with regard to one another in the transport position.

A machine for the harvesting of plants, movable in a direction of advance, comprises an arm movable between work and transport configurations, a tool comprising lateral ends and being able to occupy a work position and another position, a connecting device via which the tool is connected to the arm and enabling a first movement of the tool relative to the arm, during which the lateral ends move vertically relative to the arm in the same vertical direction relative thereto, the connecting device comprising means making it possible to operate a second transverse and horizontal movement of the tool relative to the arm and making it possible to operate this second movement independently of the first movement. The connecting device comprises an arm oriented in the direction of advance when the support arm is in the work configuration, this arm is articulated on the support arm about a first transverse and horizontal axis when the support arm is in the work configuration, and this arm can, by pivoting about the first axis, move vertically relative to the support arm in the work configuration.

A continuous windrow merger has a frame that supports center, right and left pickup assemblies. The pickup assemblies each include a pickup head and a conveyor assembly. The pickup head has a cylindrical reel and a plurality of tines extending radially outwardly from the reel. The pickup head is arranged to pickup and deliver crop material rearward to the conveyor assembly. The conveyor assembly has a draper belt with an upper surface arranged to receive crop material from the pickup head and transfer the crop material in a lateral direction. The draper belt is mounted with the upper surface sloping downwardly and rearwardly from the pickup head. The merger has a folded configuration for transport in which the right and left wing frame sections extend generally vertically above the center frame section. The frame can be attached to the front of a self-propelled traction unit or towed behind a tractor.

A haymaking machine comprises a harvesting device comprising a rotor driven about an axis which is horizontal and perpendicular to a direction of advance during work, teeth, the points of which describe a curve envelope when the rotor turns about the axis, and a conveyor moving the plants transversely to the direction of advance, the machine comprising a deflector connected to an arm connected to the harvesting device by means of an articulation, about which the arm can pivot between a first position in which the deflector is arranged, during work, beside and at a distance from a lateral end of the harvesting device, and a second position. In the second position and considering the machine during work, the deflector and the arm extend flat and at least partially above the harvesting device.

An agricultural machine for forage harvesting, including a frame supporting a work unit able to occupy a work position in which it can pick up plants lying on the ground and shift them sideways, a side deflector being connected to the frame by a connecting device allowing the deflector to occupy an operation position relative to the work unit, in which the deflector can receive a flow of plants shifted sideways by the work unit. The connecting device is designed so that, while the machine moves in a direction and the work unit is in the work position, the deflector can perform a movement relative to the work unit from the operation position, longitudinally in a direction opposite the movement direction, when a resultant of a force exerted on the deflector exceeds a determined threshold.

A rake wheel includes a hub and a plurality of tines connected to the hub and extending outwardly therefrom to an annular rim concentric with the hub. Each tine is journaled through a first plurality of apertures formed in the rim and projects outwardly from the rim. A second plurality of apertures is formed in the rim, having a size and shape substantially the same as the first plurality of apertures, and will receive the tines when the first set of apertures becomes worn or otherwise ineffective.
