ABSTRACT:
A harvester comprising a vehicle (11) supported on wheels (12) and forming a loading platform (51) on which packers can stand to pack the produce in cartons. Wings (17, 18) extend from opposite sides of the vehicle and include hinged assemblies (22, 24) to allow folding for turning and road transportation. A continuous conveyor (50) extends the length of both wings and along the vehicle loading platform to carry produce from field level to be packed. The conveyor comprises a flexible cable (61) on which are suspended baskets (70) for carrying produce. A drive wheel (71) powers the cable and means are provided for moving this wheel relative to the vehicle to maintain the cable taut and make the conveyor operable in all positions of the wings.
