ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for harvesting green peanuts comprising severing the peanut foliage from the peanuts which remain implanted in the ground by means of a vine cutting apparatus and plowing up the green peanuts and cleaning them by means of a novel combine. The vine cutting apparatus comprises a wheeled vehicle which is towed behind a tractor and has a transversely extending, ground engaging reciprocating cutter which severs the foliage, a conveyor which upwardly transports the foliage to be directed by a blower means through a chute into a container pulled behind the apparatus. The combine uproots the peanut pods by means of a single, transverse digger blade, upwardly conveys them and shakes the dirt therefrom and dumps the peanuts into the main body of the combine where the dirt is removed, the stems are severed from peanuts, and the peanuts are stored.
