A large round baler is equipped with a pick-up and a feed fork apparatus which work together to gather crop from the ground and deliver it to the inlet of the bale forming chamber of the baler. The feed fork apparatus includes a plurality of teeth which are mounted to an eccentric located beneath a chute of the apparatus and are caused to sweep along an oval path in the direction of desired crop movement, the tines moving through respective slots provided in the chute. Leading edges of the tines are stair-stepped so that they engage the crop and carry it along the chute to the inlet to the bale forming chamber.
