ABSTRACT A raking machine is disclosed comprising at least one tined rake member (2) rotatable about an upwardly and forwardly inclined axis of rotation (15), the tines (42, 52, 72, 81) being pivotable with respect to the remainder of the rake member about pivot axes; the diameter of the rake member at the path described by the tips of the tines in operation being 2 to 3.3 metres; the tines viewed in plan being directed outwardly and rearwardly with respect to the direction of rotation of the rake member to an extent such that with travelling speeds over the ground between 6 and 12 kms/hour and a speed of rotation of the rake member between 70 and 80 rev/min the tine at the front of the rake member at any moment is at an angle of about 45° to 90°, viewed in plan, to a line passing through the tip of the tine and tangential to the path of the tine tip with respect to the ground, when the tine tip is located in a vertical plane containing the rotary axis of the rake member and extending in the direction of travel of the machine over the ground. Such a raking machine, by utilising a large diameter rake member, achieves satisfactory raking results within a broad range of travelling speeds, particularly on uneven soil.
