Why is it so?

Yair . . .

I am always interested in the thinking behind machinery design.

If anyone is interested in land clearing gear, if you have a few minutes, have a look at these clips.

The two rakes that obviously work well. They utilise the principle of material passing across the face of angled disks.

Nothing new here, various manufacturers have been building them for years.

The latest one though looks like it has been assembled/designed ass-backwards with the frame and carrier arms for the disks in frontof the disk where they could conceivably impede the flow of material and the bearing housings are working right there in the $hit.

It works fine though on those little windrows and looks a well built machine. It could probably roll a bigger windrow if the frame and carrier arms were behind the disks in the conventional position.

Am I missing something here?

Any one care to comment on (what to me) looks to be a step backward in the evolution of a very simple implement

Cheers.
