Facma Model C380S Macadamia Harvester

This demonstration was in association with Town & Country Tractors & Machinery (an associated company of Tornado Pumps & Sprayers, Sydney) and Rural Buying Machinery Centre, Lismore.

This is a self propelled harvester fitted with hydrostatic drive. It has a 3.80mtr harvesting width which is made up of two counter rotating sweepers that feed a suction receival opening which in turn separates the product from orchard floor debris. This is undertaken by using air pressure and with the aid of a sorting screen, the product is then transported into a collection trailer. The harvester exerts low impact on the orchard floor due to its high floatation tyres.
