Machine for harvesting fodder

a technology for harvesting machines and fodder, which is applied in the field of agricultural machines, can solve the problems of increasing the time spent in the field and the operating cost, increasing the risk of plant jamming within the work tool, and reducing productivity, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the total width of the tractor/machine assembly, facilitating adjustment of the distance, and facilitating modification of the transverse positioning of the work tool with respect to the tractor

Abstract

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.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to an agricultural machine for the harvesting of plants, in particular of fodder, this machine being movable in a direction of advance and comprising in particular:

[0003] a chassis,

[0004] at least one support arm articulated on the chassis and movable with respect to the chassis between a work configuration in which the support arm extends laterally with respect to the chassis, and a transport configuration in which the support arm is folded such that its overall dimension perpendicularly to the direction of advance (A) is reduced,

[0005] at least one work tool comprising an inner lateral end and an outer lateral end, and being able to occupy at least one work position in which the work tool acts on plants lying on the ground, and at least another position,

[0006] a connecting device, by means of which a frame of the work tool is connected to the support arm, this connecting device allowing, at l...
