ABSTRACT:
A compact fruit picker is mounted on the three-point lift of an agricultural tractor and utilizes the power take-off of the tractor to operate a reciprocating series of probe arms having spring-loaded picking fingers mounted on each arm to penetrate the tree canopy and remove fruit as the arm is withdrawn. The picked fruit is caught in a device positioned below the picker.
