ABSTRACT:
A cranberry harvesting machine (20) including a main frame (22) supported by a wheel assembly (24) is provided. A harvesting assembly (26) is attached to the forward end of the main frame (22). A motor (M) is supported by the main frame (22) and includes a rotational output via a drive wheel (30). The drive wheel (30) drives both the harvesting assembly (26) and the wheel assembly (24). To accomplish this, a separate drive assembly (32) is interconnected between the drive wheel (30) and the wheel assembly (24) in order to operate the wheel assembly (24) independently of the harvesting assembly (26). The separate drive assembly (32) includes a transmission (34) having multiple operative modes and variable rotational output speeds.
