Abstract
A tomato harvester includes loading systems designed to introduce cut plants into the harvester. Further systems designed to shake the plants received from the loading systems detach the tomatoes. A number of parallel bars are situated below the loading systems and are oriented toward the shakers. A conveyor pulls the plants from the loading area towards the shakers and then from the shakers towards a discharge area. The route of the conveyor has at least one section which leads from the discharge area to the shakers. The harvester is configured to eliminate a number of components which can cause soil accumulation and clogging in known harvesters.
