Haymaking. - The tines of haymaking machinery such as swathturners and side-delivery rakes of the kind wherein the tines are controlled by rotary mechanism that keeps the ends of the tines always directed towards the ground are curved, looped, serrated, or corrugated to take hold of the crop more efficiently. In the form shown the shank 2 of the tine is formed with lateral loops 3 separated by intervening straight portions 4. The undulations or corrugations may be formed by securing additional pieces or members to the tines.
