A crop processing and/or conveying element for a forage chopper has a body that can be mounted on a carrier that can be set in rotation and is furnished with a hard material layer that comes into contact with crop during operation. The hard material layer is connected in a form-fitting manner to the body.

A chopping drum for a forage harvester has a shaft. Supporting rings are mounted on the shaft one next to the other in the axial direction and extending in the radial direction. Blade holders are distributed around the outer periphery of the supporting rings, and chopping blades are mounted on the blade holders by first screws. The first screws produce a connection between blade holders one following the other in the peripheral direction.

A bearing arrangement for a harvesting machine, including a bearing configured to couple a rotatable shaft with a chassis of the harvesting machine, a first element coupled with the shaft so as to be rotatable therewith, and a second element coupled with the chassis of the harvesting machine. Additionally, at least a portion of the second element is substantially concentrically enclosed by the first element and the first and second elements cooperate to define a contactless seal configured to substantially prevent contamination of the bearing. The shaft is coupled with a product treating element, such as a crop feeding and/or processing element that is driven or idle rotating.
