ABSTRACT:
Cane-berry harvesting apparatus transportable relative to a generally vertically disposed row of vines. Beaters are pivotally mounted on a harvester frame for swinging in arcs toward and away from a vine-receiving zone disposed within the frame. A reciprocating driver, mounted for selectable position adjustment on the frame, is connected to the beater for reciprocatively swinging the latter in a known arc in the zone. Means are included for selectively adjusting the position of the drive means relative to the frame in a manner varying the position of the beater arc within the zone. Opposing sets of beaters may be disposed in the vine-receiving zone for reciprocating in arcs which are disposed in mirror-image relationship relative to the vertical plane of the vine-receiving zone. These beaters are adjustable by adjusting the driver relative to the frame for adjusting the distance between the corresponding opposing arcs.
