A device for folding the working tool of an agricultural machine, specifically a device for folding the working tool (1) of an agricultural machine and protecting the working tool from over-strain. The device is mounted on a frame (7) of the agricultural machine. The working tool (1) is swivel-mounted with its back against an overloading force, which creates at least one swivel mounted protection from an over-strain protection device (2). On the working tool (1) the upper pivoting part (5) and the lower pivoting part (6) are mounted. On the frame (7) are mounted the upper pivoting part (8) and the lower pivoting part (9). The upper pivoting part (5) of the working tool (1) is connected to the lower pivoting part (9) of the frame (7) by a drawbar (3). The lower pivoting part (6) of the working tool (1) is connected to the upper pivoting part (8) of the frame (7) by a second drawbar (4).
