Basics

• This page aims to cover the various Farm Equipment / Forestry Equipment required for harvesting Tree Nuts

  • Raking / Leaf Vacuum use (the latter may exclude stray pre-agitation harvest which would be of use)
• Agitation
  • Typically with a Tree Shaker (Could also have an integrated Umbrella -like collector potentially), although manual agitation (or letting the process occur naturally) could be done, albeit with more harvest time and/or less yield
• Collection
