Abstract(s)
This paper deals with the performance of a spike rotor harvester, commercially known as "Oli-picker"
Basically it is a rotor device brushing the canopy, mounted on a structure making possible it to work
anywhere, inside or around the olive tree crown, detaching olives.
The advantage of the "Oli-picker" relative to trunk shakers can be found in large trees common in old
trad itional orchards of the Northeast of Portugal, Spain and Italy. In such large trees trunk shakers are
not efficient or simply impossible to use due to trunk diameter.
This paper aids up the results of "Oli•picker" work rates and makes an attempt to present harvesting
costs in olive orchards with trees unsuitable for trunk shaking.
