Abstract
A haymaking machine of the type having a pair of raking wheels rotatable about generally upright axes in the same sense or in opposite senses depending upon the type of haymaking operation involved. In order to provide a resilient characteristic to the prongs which is the same in both senses of rotation, each prong is mounted swingably on a pivot member whose bolt is connected to one end of a stack of spring-steel strips forming a torsion spring. The latter extends through a tube fixed to the frame of the wheel and is anchored to this tube by another sleeve whose angular position relative to the tube can be adjusted.
