Abstract
A pair of separate, obliquely disposed, angled-in rakes of the rotating tine bar type are mounted slightly forwardly of the pickup in the marginal areas along side the path of travel of the pickup to engage outlying materials and converge them inwardly into the main portion of the windrow as the baler advances. The tine bars are driven independently of forward motion of the baler by drive mechanism on the baler, and each of the rakes is provided with its own gauge wheel to permit the rake to rise and fall relative to the baler as changes in ground contour are encountered. The rakes slightly overlap the pickup in a lateral sense at their inner end so as to assure discharge of the crop material into the path of travel of the oncoming pickup, and the discharge ends of the rakes are spaced forwardly of the pickup a sufficient distance as to permit the velocity of the rake material to be substantially diminished by the time it is engaged by the pickup.
