The objective of the research described was to explore the potential of a new concept for mechanical harvesting of fresh market peaches grown in a meadow orchard. The concept is based on harvesting the whole top of the bearing trees by a combine, and separating the fruit from the branches on the harvester by a horizontal shaking conveyor.
