DEFINITION

Classification: 56/16.1

(under subclass 15.9) Machine wherein the operating assemblage includes elongated fingers extending generally in the direction of travel of the harvester, and wherein the attaching means includes an axle or shaft extending generally across said direction of travels, whereby the structure supporting said fingers may swivel in a vertical plane about a lateral axis.

(1) Note. In use, the harvester of this subclass is driven over ground on which crop (i.e., vegetation that has been cut) is lying while the tines are disposed close to the ground. When a mass of crop has accumulated on the tines, the structure is lifted and the crop transported to another location in the field.
