Abstract: A center delivery rake implement includes a tongue movably attached to a frame for movement about a vertical axis. A tongue actuator interconnects the tongue and the frame. The tongue actuator is selectively controllable to position the tongue relative to the frame such that the central tongue axis may be non-parallel relative to the central longitudinal axis of the frame, whereby a lateral position of the frame relative to the tow vehicle is adjustable during operation. An implement controller may control the tongue actuator to position the frame in a desired position based on a determined location of an existing windrow.

Abstract: A rake implement includes a first arm and a second arm. A first linkage system interconnects and is selectively configurable to position the first arm in a travel position, a first operating position, and a second operating position. A second linkage system is selectively configurable to position the second arm in a travel position, a first operating position and a second operating position. The first arm and the second arm may be positioned in different respective operating positions to provide different rake configurations for different field conditions.

Abstract: A harvesting machine may include a main frame, a rotor assembly rotatably coupled to the main frame, a top frame movably attached to the main frame forming a passageway for crop material between the top frame and the rotor assembly, a bottom frame movably attached to the top frame, a plurality of knives movably attached to the top and bottom frames, and an actuator operatively connected to one of the top frame and the bottom frames. The plurality of knives extends through slots in the top frame. The top and bottom frames and the plurality of knives are in a raised position when the actuator is in a first position. The top and bottom frames and the plurality of knives are in a lowered position when the actuator is in a second position, which enlarges the passageway and partially retracts the knives through the slots in the top frame.
