Abstract: A swather includes a frame, a chassis which supports the frame, at least one processing member which is connected at least indirectly to the frame, a front coupling device which is arranged at a front side of the frame with respect to a longitudinal axis of the swather, and a rear coupling device which is arranged at a rear side of the frame with respect to the longitudinal axis. The at least one processing member grips a crop material. The front coupling device defines a front coupling point for attaching the swather to a tractor. The rear coupling device defines a rear coupling point for attaching a baler to the swather.

Abstract: A haymaking machine has a rake rotor with frame and support arm provided with a base part and a sliding part. The base part is pivotably connected to the frame about a support arm axis to enable the support arm to pivot between a lowered active position and a raised passive position. The sliding part is slidable relative to the base part between an inner position and an outer position for length adjustment of the support arm. The outer position is farther removed from the support arm axis than the inner position. A catching element is connected to the sliding part. A linear drive is connected to frame and sliding part to move the sliding part into the inner position and pivot the support arm from active position into passive position. A retaining mechanism holds the support arm in active position until the sliding part has reached the inner position.
