A combined crop mower and conditioner is disclosed which has a mower bar having at least two disc cutters and a pair of conditioning rolls behind and above the discs with the rotational axes horizontal. The discs and rolls are driven independently of the forward motion of the machine and are relatively positioned so that, in operation, cut crop is propelled by the cutter discs into the intake area of the conditioning rolls. For safety, the cutter bar and conditioning rolls are supported between end plates extending down to ground level, the axle of the machine obstructs the area below the rolls and behind the discs, and a hood, the rear portion of which is hinged to form a baffle plate, extends from above and in front of the discs to behind the rolls. This minimizes the danger from objects, such as stones, being thrown out by the discs.
