When transported, the machine is trailed behind the tractor on two middle rotor wheels. To
prevent tines on middle rotors from being damaged, cylinder (12), placed in between the tiller (9)
and main frame, retracts the tedder to vertical position. Such setting of the machine provides
sufficient distance between working units and the ground during transport. When driving on public
roads the tedder should be equipped with a plate with luminous and reflecting elements (6), and a
warning triangle for a slow driving vehicle mounted on the holder (13).

3.2.2. Trailed 6 -rotary tedder
Overview of trailed 6-rotary tedder is shown in Fig. 4. Carrying frame (1) with hitch (2)
enables coupling of the tedder with tractor's lower links. Drive from tractor rpm is transmitted
through rotary gear with shaft and intersecting axis gears onto rotors. The tedder includes three
drive units: left, right and main drive unit with rotors comprising arms (6) and tines (7). Safety
guards (3) are mounted on the frame and lateral drive units. For transport the outer units with rotors
are folded by hydraulics to vertical position and locked with a locking pawl (9) and rear drive
wheels (5) are lowered to transport position. At the same time, in order to avoid damaging tines (7)
of middle rotors, rear drive wheels (5) are lowered causing the frame (1)to lift, which provides a
sufficient distance of working units from the ground during transport. When driving on public roads
