Apparatus for treating and/or moving cut crop comprises primarily one or more rotors (3) mounted to be driven in a mobile support structure. Attached to the rotor core member or structure (2) are outwardly extending elongate crop engaging elements (1). Each such element comprises a wide outer, generally planar crop engaging head portion (9), an inner mounting portion (6) for attachment to the rotor core member or structure, and an intermediate stem portion (8) which is dimensioned to be less wide than head portion (9) to allow preferential yielding to take place when exceptionally high loads are imposed on the head portion by crop bulk and/or by foreign objects entrained in the crop or lying on the ground. The elements may be mounted on cylindrical and circular rotors for rotation respectively in the vertical plane and in generally horizontal planes. Cylindrical rotors may be combined with a mower (20) to form a mower-conditioner. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
