A tractor-mounted forage harvester has a relatively narrow, high-speed cutterhead and crop-feeding means mounted in a housing having a narrow inlet alongside the tractor and a windrow-pickup attachment removably attached to the housing for picking up a windrowed crop from the field and delivering it through the inlet. The pickup attachment has a forward, axially transverse, rotary pickup which raises the crop from the field and delivers it rearwardly to a transverse auger, which, in turn, delivers the crop to a fore-and-aft auger that moves the crop rearwardly along a fore-and-aft passage along one side of the auger through the forage harvester inlet. A baffle is provided adjacent the rear end of the fore-and-aft auger for directing the crop under the auger and into the fore-and-aft passageway. The pickup is floatable about a transverse axis and supported on a pair of gage wheels, and vertical tension springs extend between the pickup and a tooth-type compressor above the pickup to partly counterbalance the weight of the pickup.
