Abstract
The tree harvesting tool is a tool adapted for attachment to a conventional lifter or lifting device for performing harvesting and pre-harvesting operations on a fruit tree. The tree harvesting tool includes a cylindrical shell, having an upper end and a lower end, at least one portion of the cylindrical shell defining a door. The cylindrical shell is adapted for encircling the trunk of the tree. A plurality of panels are pivotally secured to the lower end of the cylindrical shell to define an openable floor having a central opening for receiving the trunk of the tree. A circular track is mounted on the upper end of the cylindrical shell, such that a movable platform may be mounted thereon. A robotic arm is mounted on the movable platform for selectively operating and manipulating a tool for performing tree harvesting and pre-harvesting operations.
