A transmission on a forage harvester permits the gathering chains, sickle, and feed rolls thereof to be selectively shifted into forward, neutral, or reverse drive conditions without affecting the operation of the power source, chopper, and blower of the harvester. Components of the transmission are operably coupled in such a manner that the rotative speeds of the feed rolls may be varied relative to the chopper without correspondingly varying the speeds of operation of the sickle and gathering chains, and rockable shifter mechanism journaling the input shaft of the transmission is geometrically arranged such that the transmission tends to remain in its forward drive condition.
