ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A hay harvesting machine adapted to cut hay and condition the hay, the cut hay being deposited upon the ground only after it has been conditioned. The hay harvesting apparatus includes a transversely extending sickle bar or the like, a reel positioned above the cutting means and having a plurality of normally outwardly extending tines, a ramp extending upwardly and rearwardly from the cutting means, and a pair of conditioning rolls disposed above and to the rear of the cutting means, the material cut by the cutting means being swept upwardly and rearwardly by the tines on the reel and being subsequently engaged by the conditioning rolls to condition the crop material and to then deposit it upon the ground. The tines are moved inwardly towards the reel as they approach the conditioning rolls to facilitate stripping of the material from the tines. The upper conditioning roll has an aggressive surface and the conditioning rolls have surface speeds greater than the speed at which the reel delivers crop material thereto to further facilitate stripping of the cut crop material from the tines of the reel and to greatly reduce the possibility of plugging or jamming of the crop material occurring in front of the rolls. The upper roll is also disposed somewhat forwardly of the lower roll so that the bite between the rolls faces forwardly and downwardly to further facilitate the passage of crop material from the reel into the bite between the rolls.
