ABSTRACT:
The pepper harvester has a harvester head with a head frame that is attached to a harvester frame. Each row unit has a right row frame that is pivotally attached to the head frame and a left row unit that is pivotally attached to the head frame. Both row frames carry a helical bar assembly that rotates about a fore and aft axis and forms a slot for the passage of pepper plants, forward ground engaging members, and a forward plant feeder with fingers that rotate about a generally vertical axis and extend through vertically spaced slots in a cylindrical member. Snout assemblies with lower edge ledges for lifting low fruit, direct plants into the feeder fingers and the helical bars. The harvesting head has conveyor assemblies that convey fruit to a shredder for shredding stems, a roller bed for removing stems, a fanning mill and a fruit sizer.
