EasyPick Economy Model Harvest Assistant

'EasyPick-where laying down on the job is a good thing.'

Many growers have wanted to use a machine for assisting in the harvest of low growing crops, but could not justify the size or cost of our larger EasyPick  machines on their smaller farms. With that in mind, we developed the 'Economy' model EasyPick Harvest Assistant. You still get the  reliability of the larger machines and the benefits of a machine aided harvest, but at a price that fits into the smaller farm's budget.

The Economy model works great for harvesting in high tunnels, (with adequate ventilation). Harvest strawberries, asparagus, cucumbers, green beans; also use for planting, weeding, or other bed maintenance tasks.

With it's single front wheel drive, the Economy model has limited traction in wet conditions, particularly on heavy, poorly drained soils. It is well suited for use on lighter, well drained soils and for use in high tunnel environments.

The Economy model can be fitted with a hydraulically operated front hitch that enables the machine to be towed behind a tractor or pickup truck for short distance moving. The hitch is operated off of the machine's own hydraulic system.

 The economy model is available only in the 2 bed configuration. It can, however, fitted for 4 people working on 2 60" bed centers.
