EasyPick™ Harvest Assistant 700 Series
The 700 series caters to large-scale strawberry production, especially for those harvesting at least 10 acres annually and requiring in-field packing or palletizing. It suits high-yield systems and assigns two workers over each plant bed. The pictured machine, customized for high-tunnel production in Europe, omitted the canopy, although it’s standard.
