A machine (1) for collecting and pressing an agricultural crop, e.g. hay, straw, grass and the like to roll-shaped bales, the machine comprises a winding chamber (3) and can be opened, wherein the winding chamber has a bale-forming device (2) arranged downstream of the crop collecting device (6) and guided across at least a first and a second stationary deflection devices (7, 16), during a bale-forming phase, the bale-forming device travels within the winding chamber (3) along a spatially determined movement path on guides (12), for compressing the bale to be formed after reaching a certain bale diameter, the bale-forming device exerts on the bale a compression force in a direction from the exterior to the interior, wherein the bale-forming device, during a first bale-forming phase travels along a spatially determined movement path and is supported on the stationary guides (12) positioned between the first and second stationary deflection devices (7, 16), wherein during a subsequent bale-forming phase the bale-forming device (2) can be lifted off the stationary guides. |
