ABSTRACT:
Harvesting apparatus for harvesting fruit, berries, and similar produce, including at least on vibratable shaker head assembly positioned to each side of a central longitudinal axis of the apparatus so that the shaker head assemblies are not transversely aligned but are in staggered relationship with respect to each other to each side of the longitudinal horizontal axis. Each shaker head assembly has a plurality of harvesting fingers which are subjected to rotational and vibrational movement by the shaker heads and, in use of the apparatus, the harvesting fingers come into contact and penetrate produce bearing plants or bushes and remain substantially continuously in contact with the plants and bushes as the apparatus moves through or over the plants or bushes, thereby subjecting the plants or bushes to continuous vibrations and shaking to cause fruit, berries or like produce to be dislodged therefrom.
