Abstract
A soil-working machine comprising a chassis, a rotor connected to the chassis, driven in rotation during work about a substantially horizontal axis directed transversely to a direction of forward travel of the machine, at least one guard connected to the chassis with an articulation of pivot type, the axis of which is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor, and at least one adjustable retaining device which limits, downward only, the angular travel of the guard about the articulation. The soil-working machine additionally includes at least one locking device which limits, upward, during transport, the angular travel of the guard so as to keep the latter in the position defined by the setting of the retaining device.
