A root vegetable harvesting system for transporting, filling, and depositing filled storage crates. The harvesting system includes a non-labor intensive collecting system for loading harvested crop into containers, while in the field, directly from the harvester. The containers are picked-up or loaded onto the collecting system by the harvesting system, moved in relation to the collecting system by the collecting system to a location where the containers are filled with crop, and are released from the collecting system by the collecting system.

A vehicle to discharge root crop to define a root crop heap, includes a drive device to drive the vehicle, a crop bunker to contain the crop to be discharged, a discharge device to discharge the root crop from the crop bunker. The vehicle further includes a control device to control the discharge device to create the root crop heap with defined heap parameters, where the heap parameters include one or more of: a defined heap location, a defined heap width, and a defined heap orientation, and the heap is the root crop heap on a ground of a field.

This determining apparatus (62) for determining a datum during the harvesting of fruit (4), for example, sugar beets, comprises a fruit flow apparatus (50) for the treatment of a flow (52) of harvested fruit, a sensor device (64) for detecting a raw datum of the flow, a determining device (66) connected to the sensor device for determining a datum of the flow based on the raw datum. The datum is a quality datum or a yield datum of the flow. The determining apparatus is designed to output a signal, which corresponds to the quality datum or the yield datum. The quality datum or the yield datum reflects an item of information about a net yield of the harvested fruit.

Embodiments of a harvesting machine configured to uproot hemp plants and process various cut portions of the plants. The harvesting machine includes a harvesting head removably coupled to a main body of the harvesting machine. The harvesting head includes a roller positioned adjacent a lower front end of the harvesting head, the roller having tines extending therefrom and the roller configured to rotate so that the tines loosen soil and lift roots of the plants from the soil. The harvesting machine includes at least one belt positioned adjacently rearward of the roller and is configured to move the uprooted plants from the tines and to move the uprooted plants rearward from the harvesting head. Further, the harvesting head includes a cutting system positioned adjacent the at least one belt and is configured to make at least two cuts along a length of the plant to form the cut portions.
