A fruit harvester includes a chassis, a fruit removal system, a fruit delivery system, and a container delivery system for automatically delivering individual containers. A container filling station receives fruit from the fruit delivery system and fills individual containers. The container delivery system automatically separates a bottommost container from a stack of the containers. The container delivery system includes a support framework defining a vertical open shaft configured for supporting a stack of containers. An elevator carriage moves vertically below the stack of containers. Retractable clamps engage edges of the containers in an extended position.

A self-propelled agricultural machine, for example, a self-propelled merger, is provided with at least one motor, at least two elongate units for, in use, performing an agricultural operation on the land, a front wheel axle, and a rear wheel axle situated at a distance from the front wheel axle. The front wheel axle and/or the rear wheel axle is driven by the motor for displacing the agricultural machine. Each elongate unit is displaceable from a transportation position to a working position and vice versa by a folding mechanism, so that the maximum width of the self-propelled agricultural machine is smaller in the transportation position of the units than in the working position of the units. In the working position, the agricultural operation on the land is performed substantially along the length of each elongate unit.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a device for stripping leaves from heading plants grown in rows. The device, which is movable in a direction of movement, comprises at least two rotary shafts, on which leaf strippers extending substantially transversely to the shafts are provided. The shafts extend substantially in the direction of movement of the device, such that leaves that grow under a head are removable from a stalk of a plant, in particular broccoli and cauliflower, between the shafts by the leaf strippers. The shafts, which lie in a virtual plane, include an angle between each other, such that front ends of the shafts are spaced further apart than rear ends of the shafts. The leaf strippers are finger-like projections, and the finger-like projections located near the front ends of the shafts are longer than the finger-like projections located near the rear ends of the shafts.
