A pull type forage harvester (10) including a header (20), a cylindrical cutterhead (56) having rotating knives (57) operatively associated with a shearbar (55), feed rolls ((51-54) for receiving crop material from the header (20) and conveying it to the cutterhead (56), and a blower (17) remotely located on the forage harvester relative to the cutterhead (56). The blower (17) includes a spout (32) for expelling cut crop material to a collecting receptacle. A transverse conveyor (27) consisting of an auger (28) mounted in a trough (30) receives chopped crop material from the cutterhead (56) and conveys it to the blower (17). Mounted adjacent the cutterhead is a crop processor (26) for crushing chopped crop material received from the cutterhead (56). The processor comprises a pair of crushing rolls (64, 65) aligned with the cutterhead axis (37) and above the transverse conveyor (27).
