ABSTRACT:
A power driven nut harvester of the invention is a self-propelled device for sweeping nuts from the ground into a housing by means of a power driven rotary drum equipped with flexible tines or with flexible rubber strip material. The power unit also propels the harvester at a substantially constant speed. The nuts are separated from debris by passing them at high velocity through a stiff bristle brush which repels the debris and directs the nuts for collection into a receiving bin. A spring loaded deflector plate adjacent the sweeper drum is kept in proper alignment by a fifth wheel maintained in constant contact with the ground.
