Loading vehicle with a loading device for crop consisting of stems and leaves, comprising: - a pick-up device which is fitted with pick-up tines, has a working width and picks up the crop from the ground, - a pressing device arranged downstream of the pick-up device for conducting the crop further, wherein the pressing device: • comprises a pressing channel and a rotor (6; 6') with pressing tines arranged spirally in a plurality of rows, • wherein the pressing tines have a working width which approximately corresponds to a clear width of the pressing channel, • wherein the rotor (6, 6') has an overall working width which is composed of a middle working width extending over the pressing tines, and of lateral working widths (E, F) which are arranged on both sides of said middle working width and are fitted with transverse conveyor means, • wherein the transverse conveyor means are designed as blades (7, 8), • and wherein the working widths (B, C) of pick-up device and rotor (6; 6') are greater than the clear width of the pressing channel, - a loading compartment arranged downstream of the pressing device, characterized in that one of the blades (7, 8) adjoins each outer pressing tine on the rotor (6; 6') and extends as far as the respective point of the respective pressing tine, wherein a gap does not remain in the transition region from the pressing tines to the blades (7, 8), and therefore gaps formed between the blades (7, 8) and clearances located between the pressing tines form conveyor channels in which crop supplied by the pick-up device can be conveyed transversely with respect to the direction of flow of the crop flow. - a pick-up device which is fitted with pick-up tines, has a working width and picks up the crop from the ground, - a pressing device arranged downstream of the pick-up device for conducting the crop further, wherein the pressing device: • comprises a pressing channel and a rotor (6; 6') with pressing tines arranged spirally in a plurality of rows, • wherein the pressing tines have a working width which approximately corresponds to a clear width of the pressing channel, • wherein the rotor (6, 6') has an overall working width which is composed of a middle working width extending over the pressing tines, and of lateral working widths (E, F) which are arranged on both sides of said middle working width and are fitted with transverse conveyor means, • wherein the transverse conveyor means are designed as blades (7, 8), • and wherein the working widths (B, C) of pick-up device and rotor (6; 6') are greater than the clear width of the pressing channel, • comprises a pressing channel and a rotor (6; 6') with pressing tines arranged spirally in a plurality of rows, • wherein the pressing tines have a working width which approximately corresponds to a clear width of the pressing channel, • wherein the rotor (6, 6') has an overall working width which is composed of a middle working width extending over the pressing tines, and of lateral working widths (E, F) which are arranged on both sides of said middle working width and are fitted with transverse conveyor means, • wherein the transverse conveyor means are designed as blades (7, 8), • and wherein the working widths (B, C) of pick-up device and rotor (6; 6') are greater than the clear width of the pressing channel, - a loading compartment arranged downstream of the pressing device,
