ABSTRACT:
A raisin harvesting machine adapted to harvest raisins from vines where the raisin bunches are positioned in an upwardly and outwardly extending growing plane. The machine has a beater rod assembly which is positioned at a lateral slant so as to have a substantial alignment component parallel to growing zone of the raisins. In some embodiments, the machine moves along one row, the beater rod assembly moves into and out of the crop row in a harvesting motion. When the harvesting machine moves at an opposite direction along an adjacent row, the beater assembly is moved to an opposite side of the harvesting machine so as to be properly positioned to engage the raisins in the second crop row.
