Abstract
An agricultural machine for the tedding or conditioning of fodder comprises a pair of drums (1,2) rotatable about shafts (12,13) which are slightly inclined in the forwards direction of travel (A) of the machine. The drums (1,2) are interconnected by a chassis (3) which is connected to a coupling member (4) by a connecting beam (5). The coupling member (4) has attachment points (6,7,8) for coupling the machine to a tractor. Each drum (1,2) carries at its lower portion a flexible, deformable skirt (17,18) for grasping and transporting the fodder. The skirts are associated with tedding or conditioning means which may comprise ribs (20) on the upper surfaces of the skirts (17,18) or other means (not shown). FIG. 1.
