Hitch (
1
) allows for connecting the rake to tractor's lower pull-cables. Drive from the tractor's
PTO shaft is transmitted by a shaft located under the rake's linkage (
2
) onto bevel gear which
distributes the drive with shafts (
4
) on carousel gear I (
3
), and carousel gear II. Then the drive from
the carousel gear II is transmitted with the shaft onto the carousel gear II (
5
). On the rotor, there are
arms (
6
) installed to which raking tines (
7
) are mounted. Carousel gears are equipped with safety
guards (
8
). For the transport the extreme-most arms can be detached and placed in holders.
Adjustment cranks (
9
) are used to set the raking height. The rake is also equipped with swath
screens (
10
) used to form the row. Rate of components lowering, and rate of swath screen lowering
and lifting is adjusted with throttle and control flow valves. Below the carousel gears there are
driving trolleys (
12
).
