An agricultural mechanical harvesting system useable with a harvester machine. The system includes at least one airflow generator connected to nozzles via air conduction systems for ejecting pressurized air flows from the nozzles located in the harvester machine above fruit receiving units and under fruit harvester units. The nozzles are positioned above the fruit receiving units and under the fruit harvester units of the harvester machine.

A Manoeuvring rod comprising a first elongated portion tubular-shaped and provided with a handle portion configured to be grasped by a user, and a second elongated portion engaged to the working tool). The elongated portions are mutually telescopically engaged in such a way to be able to freely slide one with respect to the other. A blocking/unblocking device is then provided arranged to move from a blocking configuration, in which impedes the above disclosed free sliding, to an unblocking configuration, in which, instead, allows the above disclosed free sliding. The above mentioned movement of the blocking/unblocking device from the blocking configuration to the unblocking configuration, or vice versa, is directly actuated by the user by acting on a control member positioned at the handle portion.

A graphical user interface is disclosed for controlling a harvesting system, the harvesting system driving each of two shaking actuator frequencies individually, the user interface setting or displaying the frequencies of the two actuators as a single point on a displaya Frequency-Frequency User Interface (FFUI). The FFUI abstracts the tuning process of shaking with independent frequency control, allowing a user to choose the parameters for shaking the tree, e.g., frequencies, duration at a given frequency, etc., all while observing the effects of the shake taking place on the tree. The FFUI employs user gestures to map the shaker eccentric speeds and directions to the x and y coordinates of a graph, with the length of time a user gesture remains at any given coordinate pair determining the time that the first and second eccentric frequencies are driven according to the values of the given coordinate pair.

Systems, device, and methods for harvesting fruits or nuts are disclosed. Some fruits or nuts grow on trees, such as almonds. A two-piece harvester is disclosed that mitigates damage to fruits or nuts deposited on the ground after harvesting from the tree. The two-piece harvester may include a shaker configured to shake a tree and cause the fruits or nuts to fall and a receiver configured to collect the fallen fruits or nuts and deposit the fruits or nuts on the ground or in bins. The shaker and the receiver may include cabs that is configured to be in a plurality of different positions. The shaker may also include a wheel that is extendible between a retract position and an extended position. The receiver may also include chute that is configured to deposit the fruits or nuts in different locations based on the direction of travel of the receiver.

A harvester using shaking to dislodge product from trees in which the shaking in each of at least two inertial force generators is controlled independently of the others. Embodiments provide the flexibility to adapt a harvesting procedure to different product and to adapt the harvesting procedure to different individuals within a particular type of plant, and in real-time.
