ABSTRACT:
A tomato harvester includes means for severing tomato plants below ground and for depositing them on a movable conveyor on which the tomatoes are separated from the vines. A plurality of flexible spring-like elements extend vertically downwardly toward the conveyor and are moved transversely back and forth across the conveyor to move the flexible elements into contact with the tomato plants as they are conveyed to assist in dislodging the tomatoes from the vines.
