Abstract: The invention relates to a feeder rake for the feeding of cut material into the baling chamber of agricultural pick-up and other balers, which is arranged to be driven by a steadily rotating crank and is guided by a swinging rod, which is connected by a link and by a guide arm with two spaced pivot bearings of the tine carrier of the feeder rake, and the guide arm has an overload protection device, upon whose actuation the feeder rake is folded back into a position in which it cannot continue feeding and, when it is freed of its load, it is erected again automatically moving out of the above-mentioned inoperative position into its operating position.
