ABSTRACT:
A rolling apparatus to be pushed or driven over ground where nuts have fallen, such apparatus rolling to pick up the nuts, and collect them in a basket. The apparatus includes a roller assembly of a plurality of wheel units each having a flexible wheel which contacts the ground and is spaced from the next adjacent wheel so as to clamp nuts between adjacent wheels and carry the clamped nuts around the roller assembly to a comb-like stripper which pries the nuts from the wheels and guides them into a collection basket. The basket is movable so that it may readily pass over ground objects, such as small rocks, pine cones and the like, as the apparatus is rolled over ground.
