Abstract

See full text

An attachment device for harvesting stalky stem material is provided with stem dividers; cutting devices cutting the stalky stem material; conveying devices conveying the cut stalky stem material; picking units distributed across a working width of the attachment device and provided with picking rollers and picking gaps to separate fruit from the stalks; milling devices associated with the picking units; and a device collecting and combining the fruit separated from the stalks. Drivable stalk supports are arranged in a travel direction of the attachment device upstream of the picking units and positioned vertically spaced relative to the picking units and to the cutting devices. Pivotable support arms support the stalk supports. The stalk supports are moved by the support arms in a longitudinal direction, with respect to the vertical position, and with respect to an attack angle, and are adjusted with respect to their rotary speed.
