An arrangement for mounting tine guards on a pickup of an agricultural machine such as a baler or a forage harvester comprises upper and lower mounting plates which are removably attached to upper and lower frame members, respectively, on the pickup. The pickup includes a reel having a plurality of tines which project, as the reel rotates, through spaces or gaps formed between the tine guards. The upper ends of the tine guards are secured to the upper mounting plate while the lower ends of the tine guards are secured to the lower mounting plate so that the tine guards are removed together with the mounting plates when the mounting plates are detached from the pickup frame members.
