ABSTRACT:
A lightweight hand pecan harvester is provided which is efficient and easy to use. A harvesting/storage component includes a hopper having two open ends. A bottom end is provided with a series of parallel wire bails secured by brackets to the hopper walls. The bottom stretch of the bails is coplanar with the bottom of the hopper and adapted to be biased laterally, thereby enabling pecans to pass therebetween. Once a pecan enters the hopper, the bails return to their spaced, parallel relationship, preventing the pecans from falling out of the opening at the bottom of the hopper. The other end of the hopper is open so that the pecan harvester when inverted may be emptied of the pecans collected therein. A handle is provided to enable the person gathering the pecans to walk upright while gathering.
