ABSTRACT:
An improved fruit harvester, including a self-propelled main frame with means for grasping a fruit tree and inducing vibration in the fruit tree so that fruit will be caused to fall and a retractable collection surface which extends beneath the tree to gather the fruit as it falls. The gathered fruit is directed to either of two longitudinal conveyors disposed on each side of the main frame which transport the fruit to the rear of the harvester. A transversely mounted conveyor is disposed between the respective termination points of each of the longitudinal conveyors and is capable of selectively receiving fruit from either of the two longitudinal conveyors and depositing said fruit in either of two receptacles elevatably supported at the corners of the main frame of the harvester.
