摘要： A harvesting apparatus and method includes a vehicle designed for operation along aisles between rows of low density young citrus trees for collecting, storing and transporting citrus fruit harvested by multiple workers moving along in front of the vehicle. The apparatus and method is more efficient and cost effective for harvesting citrus fruit from low density young citrus trees and eliminates pallet tubs and the vehicle boom required to empty and replace the tubs as used in the ''conventional harvesting method''. The machine and method includes a large semi-circular tray preferably mounted at a level about two feet above the ground on the front of a self-propelled vehicle carrying a hopper. The tray is selectively removable to allow a tray of different size to be mounted on the vehicle to meet the harvesting conditions involved at given citrus groves. The bottom wall of the tray is sloped downwardly to gravity feed the picked fruit to the front end of the duct system, which pneumatically conveys the picked fruit to the hopper. Subatmospheric pressure is maintained within the hopper to generate air flow from the front end of the duct system into the hopper. The hopper is pivotally mounted on the rear portion of the vehicle for selective dumping of the picked fruit. The hopper may selectively be elevated before dumping to allow the harvesting vehicle to be used with different types of fruit transporting trailers and vehicles.
