Title: Crop-feed arrangement for hay baler

Abstract: A crop-feed arrangement for a hay baler displaced along a swath is provided with a pickup drum whose tines elevate the crop material from the ground and dispose it in a trough extending transversely of the direction of advance of the baler. An auxiliary feed device is provided above the pickup drum and is angularly oscillatable, while being provided with independently elastically suspended pushers, for feeding the crop material into the trough in which a transverse-feed mechanism, e.g. a fork describing a kidney-shaped pattern of motion advances the crop material into the lateral opening of the press channel. The ram compacts the crop material in this channel which extends in the travel direction, whereupon the bale is tied and the finished bale ejected at the rearward end of the channel.
