Abstract
A cross-beam at the front end of a vehicle body carries knives which are rotatable between a position in which they extend into a conveyor duct and an upper position for inspection and/or sharpening. A pronged pusher moves fodder material gathered by a pick-up from the knives to the duct, when the material passes to a cross-conveyor for deposition of the fodder material. The vehicle advantageously has a short wheelbase.
